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.

It feels very much like a Corsair to me, that big heavy nose which you have to 'haul' around in a turn. Also its not totally stable as a gun platform, the nose wobbles for me quite a bit, I presume because the engine is so heavy as with the Corsair.

However the 'instability' not as critical as with the corsair with 50 cals, because a couple of 20mm Hispano hits can damage an enemy good, whereas the Corsair needs more than a 'passing shot' with the 50's to get the enemy down.

IL2 in my opinon does a good job of modelling hte big heavy radial in the Corsair and the massive Sabre engine in the Tempest. You can really 'feel' the weight in the nose as you haul them around. They are certainly not as nice feeling as a very much lighter 109E/F/G2, SPitfire IX or La5FN for example. Its a bit like a Sports Car built for corners, compared to a Dragster with massive engine made for straight lines.
