Chasing behind German superiority in speed, the British created one of the swiftest Allied interceptors of the war. The Tempest was a lethal gun platform - Stable as a rock and armed with a broadside of weaponry. Initially a ground-attack maurauder, later interdictions targeted Jet fighters and 'Doodlebug' bombs.

Man I love this plane, and in real life as well!
@Weaverfish As many as you want, i have already build up mine, i can provide you with schematics if you as well.
@Mainblocks sure dude, could you throw up the design you have in mind unlisted and I'll work something out. How many parts do you want it limited to?
@Weaverfish As usual, neat. ^^
Btw, is that possible if you can make the Type 2 Gunsight ? But only the reticule. I can't manage to do it properly.
@Weaverfish what's next
So what’s next?
@weaverfish
@Weaverfish Aha, Still amazing though.
@Othawne There was a bunch of different gunsights used by the Brits, I want to show them all off.
Most beautiful aircraft in the world.
At least in my opinion.
Also i thought the Tempest had the K-14 Gyro gun-sight?
I also suggest turning your graphics up too.
You need to give the exteriors of your aircraft more detail! The measurements, curves, and accuracy are very precise, but that’s where it ends! There are no minor details on the exterior of your aeroplanes at all! Or very few to say the most. Try giving your aeroplanes livery features such as roundles and trim, and add aerials and lights and proper 3D wings. I know you can do this, because it is very hard to build as precise as this! You can do it!
@STlegacyAircraft Download the overload mod, it's a must for anyone interested in designing on simpleplanes.
@Weaverfish
How do you get the wings and stabilizers into such a smooth shape with the default parts? I can only adjust the size of wings/panels by only a certain length :\
@Weaverfish
Brilliant as always!
@RemakePlanes That's a really cool idea, I might have to go back and redo the tantei myself sometime. Seems like latewar the japs really did retrofit them with strange music, although just 1 cannon.
Amazing as always.
Ох, какая красота, ты уже видал мой миг 15?)
@CRJ900Pilot
Using Overload mod, go to control surface 1, edit MaxDeflectionDegree to between 0-180, default is 35
@MI
A hinge, plus a small circle rotator to bring them back 15ish degrees. edit the speed values so they work together as one.
@CeeToTheZee
Adding exterior cockpit struts would mean +50 parts to get them right, and even then they'd clash with the interior. I prefer a simple glass clipping.@CRJ900Pilot
absolutely tremendous interior, but you rarely add detail to the exterior of the cockpit, why is that?
Noice
Looks good but is it good? I think I might like it. ;)
Same@Scottydoestuff
I downloaded it when the unfinished version was still up
Check this one out:http://www.world-war-2-planes.com/images/tempestflying_550.jpg It’s my personal favourite Tempest picture @Weaverfish
@Mustang51 You got me! The only difference visually is shorter cannons and thinner wings, but if I find a better colourised tempest img I'll replace it.
