Somthing there is about that plane that makes me dive into clouds of n1k2s and start turning. it's the strangest thing... fly p-38 get a bunch a perks, grab tempest... clobber n1k2's and chogs till engine gets pinged, repeat till perks gone, then grab p38 and go kill some more. must be the false sense of invinsiblity (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

That's weird. I think I haven't found a good tempest pilot yet then, because my definition for that 'TEMP' icon is TEMPorary airborne (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Looking forward to meeting you 1 vs 1 sometime..

You know what I've found?
I'm scared silly flying one. The thought of losing my plane outweighs any sense of invincibility.
It's the opposite really. As soon as a I spawn on the runway in a Tempest or Arado, I instanly feel that I am the target that people will ALL throw caution to the wind and suicidally attack without mercy.
Thank god the plane's fast, because I think I've spent more time running away then I have spent gaining angles on somebody.
Its a bit irrational too, since I have enough perk points to lose several perk planes in a row.

S!
I have flown Tempest on a few occasions to test it.Sure,very fast and has the Dweebhanos,but still..don't like it.One thing it does with Ta152 and Ar234 in AH...Just fly near a furball so they see U are flying a perkie(icon).Then watch the result. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)A real "idiot"magnet(ääliömagneetti in Finnish).The urge to kill a perkie is so strong that U can even lure ppl up from fields by announcing on Ch1 that U are near their field in a perkie,even U are not. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)Good way to draw attention away (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)Don't take too seriously...

rofl, DB! I've sat and watched it happen a hundred times, I bet. Channel fills up with perk plane reports, and it's "tally ho!".
Just too funny (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I love the Tempest. It loves me.

Evil Animal shot off the wingtip off my ta yesterday in a bounce. Dinnae even see him.
Limped home, did a perfect ditch on some sloping ground. Continued to roll over a ridge and died.
Heh.

I'm with DB603. I use the Tempest all the time to lure defenders away from bases we are trying to capture. Works 100 times better than shooting them down, cause they aren't re-upping while they are chasing me in vain.
Last week I had 6 planes chase me almost half a grid away before catching on. I'd let them gain for a few minutes...then accelerate away....over and over bwahahaha.
