About this aircraft

  • On October 15th, 1944, German anti-aircraft guns shot down a Tempest MK V near Munster. The pilot bailed out and was captured, but the aircraft was repaired and went for testing. In the game, this aircraft boasts excellent flight characteristics, impressive maneuverability, four 20 mm Hispano cannons and of course premium bonuses!

Just a reminder Britain with the second smallest tree of the top 5 still doesn’t have a single captured vehicle.

I don’t suggest purchasing this. Unlike the British version, it does not get 150 octane fuel which is a huge performance boost, but it’s still at the same BR (5.7).

Germany is getting an entire line of Swiss and Argentine vehicles. And yet they still have lineups full of captured vehicles. Curious.

I already have it, what a waste of time this event is.

What do sub-trees have to do with it? Britain has SA and India. And a lot of the captured stuff in Germany isn’t available outside of ludicrously overpriced moments like this.

slap in the face for the designers putting the celebratory aircraft in the german tree.

Also britain is the smallest of the main nations with ZERO captured vehicles

No.

No bombs.
Constant uptiers.
Yak-3 will absolutely roflstomp you in a dogfight. I think F4U4B can win that too. And probably F8F. Ki-84 for sure. La-9 probably. F2G probably, but it outperforms you horribly too.
The armanent is OK, but British 20mm have the worst belts in the business, closely followed by Germany.
Can still encounter BI.
I wouldn’t take it over Do-335B2, that’s for sure.
