HT was testing the Tempest in the MA earlier (shows up in films as a Typhoon), got a few films of fighting him in my Typhoon. Looks like it's good in the vertical and roll rate, can take a few hits to the wings but still is vulnerable at the tail (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Last film is the most interesting IMO - it's a tricky one to catch in a zoom climb by the look of it, and the roll rate seemed nice from the very brief look I had. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Oh, and I managed to take off alongside Superfly's Tempest later on when he was flying Knights... my empty Tiffy managed to climb with his 2x500lb-equipped Tempest - as long as I kept WEP on and him leave it off (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) He managed to chase down a low P51 with bombs still aboard, though he had a slight alt advantage...

This will be the only Perk Plane that ill try out. But i suspect for the most part, ill stay with the Typhoon.
Dog out........

Does look like a fun plane, I'll probably be the only one using a perk plane to hunt osties.

And I might well be using one to bomb hangers and straffe AAA =)

As soon as I figure out how to play these at work I'll thank you Duma. Until then, I am forced to despise you (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
