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.

Hans.

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)

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.
