Seriously tho guys, the Tempest isnt what I would call an 'easy flier' when compared to, for example, the Me109F4, The La5 or the Spifire IX.
Well having twice their weight I'm not terribly suprised however in-game it most certainly isn't far from them and still handles better than "only" 1 - 1,5ton lighter planes, no wonder the nose wobbles when the plane if flying like a feather...although it's 5 tons heavy

I found playing online servers that most popular planes Fw 190 D-9 is much more faster at full throttle altitude then it should.
You are correct D9 '44 is some 20-25kmh too fast at best alt.
But if you want to talk about popular and too fast, P51D is another example where at it's best alt also reaches 728kmh instead of 705kmh, so it's kinda "tit for tat" situation in that regards...
IRL Tempest outperformed FW190A because it was faster, climbed better, dived better and zoomed better, just like in-game although IRL Tempest didn't have any turn advantage over FW190A, in-game it can turn with late high power 109's down to like 240kmh, no problem while it can declass any FW without problems...
I wonder why Closterman said to his squaddies not to turn with 109's below 300MPH(482,8kmh), he and the others must have been really crappy pilots comparing to il2 aces...
I wonder what would happen if FW's could do that to Spitfires or Lavochkins ROFL - poor Oleg
