I think what Straffo's trying to say is if you practice with the Typhoon in the MA you'll do very very well in the Tempest

Ahaaa, yes, tried the tiffie offline, climbs like a rocket, great guns and tons of ammo.
Accelerates great, fast speed at the deck, it's gonna be a killer.

A heck, just bring it up to my TA152 and 40k and I'll knock ya down faster then a brick stone!

Sawed the tail right off a Dora last night (thks Squaddies for covering my six!), it was a thing of beauty with the Tempest! Tempest RRRRRRrrrocks!

The Tempest is just insane. It handles almost exactly like the Typhoon -- roll rate and turnrate feel the same to me -- but it accelerates twice as fast (especially at low speed), has a higher top speed, climbs better, and has more ammo.

If perk planes didn't exist, they'd have to invent them for this one. And yes, it's a definite natural fit for a Typhoon driver.

Had a blast in the tempest last night,Unlike the Typhoon where my prefered alt was 15k i took the Tempest to 20k.. I does everything the Typhoon does, but at a higher speed. Turns well at Speed and handles well at low alt as long as you keep your speed up. Tryed to furball in her a did ok, but once E is gone take a long time to get to speed when low. Killed a crapload o La7s Yaks in it, and only died to Spits trying to clear other 6s low.

I will be switching back and forth from Tiffy to Tempest.

So, Tempest is a Typhoon on steroids. As it should be
