This has to be the best stock piston engine fighter in CFS3. Fast, powerful and it just looks good Wink

The Hawker Tempest MkV. First of the Tempest line to enter RAF service.

Fighter sweep. Looking for trouble behind enemy lines. Is it just me or do those drop tanks and pylons look like they belong to a P-47?

Fast and low. Time to ditch my "P-47" tanks and shoot up some trains.

All that damage with just 20mm cannon fire.

A convoy. I just love strafing a nice juicy convoy Grin

Practice run. How on Earth did I miss all those trucks ???

A tad low this time me thinks Wink

Notice how I was able to deposit my wingtip in the back of that truck Grin

Enough truck bashing, air to air in part 2.

Nice, very nice...

Did you shoot the train or drop the droptanks on it (and yes, they do look like the P47 type tanks)?

Roger, the trick to low flying is to come back home with all the bits still glued on Wink

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

I shot the train and the shed and some other stuff but I will try drop tank bombing next time. Size of those things they will most likely nuke the whole train yard Wink

Mark old pal, I thought the trick was to fly down the column on a knife edge and take them all out with the wingtip Wink

I had to make a very messy belly landing thanks to that truck Sad

I know the feeling in the last pic there. I was once buzzing a level crossing in the 1% Corsair when I left my wingtip on the front of a passing train. Grin
