 == General info ==
 === Flight performance ===
 <!--Describe how the aircraft behaves in the air. Speed, manoeuvrability, acceleration and allowable loads - these are the most important characteristics of the vehicle.-->
 The Tempest has an excellent Napien Sabre 2 engine. It allows air speeds up to 727 km/h (393 knots). The aircraft has a descent maneuverability, and extending the flaps helps massively in turning. You can outmaneuver almost any American airplane, but dogfighting isn't recommended in this plane. It can withstand from 14 G to -7 G.

 === Survivability and armour ===
 <!--Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.-->
 The Tempest's weakest point is the engine. It is '''''very''''' big and gives away after 2-3 hits. The aircraft becomes vulnerable because speed is one of its biggest advantages. It has an armoured glass in the front (44.45 mm or 1.75 in), and armour on the back of the seat (16.9 mm or 0.66 in). Its worst opponent is the [[Spitfire (Family)|Spitfire series]]. It's best not to mess with them. If you entered a dogfight reduce airspeed, extend flaps and let them overshoot. The Tempest is also vulnerable to AAA fire. You should avoid flying over enemy bases and airfields. If impossible to avoid, get close to the ground and fly away. Other than that the aircraft is very durable. It can withstand a solid amount of damage with [[:Category:Aircraft machine guns|MGs]] and [[:Category:Aircraft cannons|cannons]] in the hull. To increase chances of surviving, you should always avoid decreasing airspeed under 200 km/h (107 knots).
 == Armaments ==
 === Offensive armament ===
 <!-- ''Describe the offensive armament of the aircraft, if any. Describe how effective the cannons and machine guns are in a battle, and also what belts or drums are better to use. If there is no offensive weaponry, delete this subsection.'' -->

 <!--Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).-->
-The Tempest has great performance in altitudes up to 5,000 m (16,404 ft). It isn't recommended to hunt bombers. The aircraft is best at destroying less maneuverable planes like: [[Fw 190 (Family)|Fw 190]]s, [[F4U (Family)|F-4 Corsairs,]] [[Bf 109 (Family)|Bf 109s]], ground attack planes and any bomber that comes near the ground. It excels at high speeds. However it isn't a classic boom-and-zoom aircraft because you shouldn't fly too high after attack. The guns reach maximum efficiency when firing in bursts. Try to avoid long bursts, a burst should not exceed 5-6 bullets. You should replace the climbing with flying away in a more or less straight line. Don't attack unless you can fly away at a high airspeed (at least 500 km/h or 269 knots).
