One of the aspects of the Tempest that make it so great is the 2,450 hp, Napier Sabre IIB H-24 liquid-cooled sleeve-valve piston engine. Propellers were a 4-bladed de Havilland Hydromatic. The Tempest's Quad 20mm Auto-Cannons make short work of EVERYTHING!
I went to a Veteran Affairs meeting and YOU were mentioned. Your info about planes, armament and flight, even from today's stuff, is spot on. From a full bird Colonel to. Even the military learns from gamers.
lol wow thats really cool. Thank you for sharing that little story, always cool to hear little things like that. Thank you to that Colonel too really kind of him to mention the channel.
The Tempest was the chief destroyer of the V1 buzz bombs in late 1944. One of the few aircraft that could actually catch one in level flight, its big gun battery helped the pilots stay clear of the V1's detonating after being hit.
If that were possible, it'd be amazing to see GS do a scramble and intercept type of mission chasing those things. Idk if IL-2 or DCS have V1's, though.
@@bradlovell3884IL-2 definitely does. I was doing a mission today "Diver intercept" or something like that. Chasing V1s in spitfires. Trick was to stay high and patrol then dive on them. Quick few blasts and peel off to dodge the shrapnel.
@@bradlovell3884 Hear hear, a V-1 intercept mission would be great watching! What do any of the flight sims have the detail required to try what RAF pilots did, tumbling the V-1 out of control with the wingtips? Absolute legends, tough act to follow in simulation or reality.
@@bradlovell3884 classic IL-2 (1946 and previous) had mission where you should intercept V1 and make legendary historical trick: stay at same level as V1, at same speed and then turn over V1's wing by your own wing like a little tip. The case is let a gyroscope inside V1 to fail and let that rocket dive and crash.
always great to hear father and son are spending time together, honored a little bit of it is watching these videos. I appreciate your support much love, and please say Hi to your son for me, all the best.
Agreed! One reason I subbed long ago was that with GS every other word wasn't an expletive. Some TH-camrs curse so much it's monotonous. GS uses the time to actually say something meaningful rather then trying to sound hip.
@@truthseeker9454 ya I noticed very early on in the channel guys are watching these with their kids (because of comments like this) so I made an effort to make sure the language wouldn't be an issue.
Man I love the Tempest, never gets the credit it deserves, laminar flow wings, a reliable Sabre engine and 4 hispanos. I love the Spitfire and Mustang but the Tempest is just a beast!
I mean calling the Napier sabre a reliable engine is doing a bit of heavy lifting it had nowhere near the fit and finish of merlin or griffons especially pre 44. In fact the reliability is why tempest MK2 used a Centaurus and MK3 used a griffon.
@@NatanielMalanowski even when the sleeve issues were fixed there were problems with consistency across each 6 cylinder block. Also tempest V didn't get the sabre V until later the series 1 tempest V got sabre mkII B.
This is my favorite plane, from a begginers point of view, i find it pretty easy to fly, quite forgiving of my lack of skill, and on the rare occasion i can hit anything it just turns the target to confetti. Great content mate, even got the whole crew on my boat looking forward to their daily dogfight.
During the Battle of Britain, RAF pilots were always warned that, aside from "the Hun in the sun”, never to follow a hit enemy aircraft down, as you'll be joining him sharpish. Best kills I've seen in "IL-2". Most of mine just lose wings, either one or both, or flat spin to their death. Never had one explode, as engines do in "Rise of Flight". Great video - going to start a Tempest career.
I’ve been watching your channel for a WHILE now and you genuinely never fail to deliver amazing stuff, I love your content and I seriously hope you hit 700K super soon, you absolutely deserve it. (Idk how you haven’t hit 1 Million yet bruh you’re so underrated 😭😭) Much love ❤️
Thank u man I really appreciate your support, subs like yourself give me the motivation to keep the content flowing. I appreciate you thank you again and Happy New Year.
Holy Crap on a Cracker! What an aircraft. LOVE your videos keep it up. Introduced my dad (RIP) to this sort of PC fun in the mid 80's. He hooked up his PC to a his massive stereo system and I'd come home and here him flying in Battle of Brittain and later Battle Over Europe (90's). But wow.... the genre has come so far with titles like DCS. I wish he could have experienced this. So much enjoyment just watching you and listening to how much fun you have. Thanks for doing this.
This video made my 2025, and it ain’t the new year yet. Superb. “Folded” being a new term to use in flying as well is brilliant. Keep up the good videos and happy new year mate.
Assuming you're thinking of the soviet 20mm's, they used less explosives inside of their rounds so a lot of the time it's just like shooting a larger machine gun rather than a cannon.
@@juliancain6128 Yes, and like germany they had special explosive filled shells developed Hispanos had both HE and Semi-AP which are basically APHE^2 Germany had the Mineshot, which are basically HE^3 sacrificing shell wall thickness for max HE filler
Read a few pilot biographies who flew the Tempest - they reckoned it was the best allied fighter below 20,000 feet. I recall one incident where an RAF pilot was bounced by a P47 who mistook him for a German...He dodged the fire and then proceeded to get on the tail of the P47 and fired either side of it and stuck to him for some time. The P47 couldn't do a thing and the pilot was terrified.
I'm up for any recommendation for books...so hope you can reply with some Tempest ones?......I'd recommend 'The Most Dangerous Enemy' by Stephen Bungay on the Battle of Britain as its a totally opposite view to most BOB books on how close the battle was...very fascinating read...'Malta Spitfire' by George Beurling is a very good combat book...I've always got a WW2 warbird book on the go...
Primary difference in Tempest vs typhoon was wing being much thinner and a different profile and having the spitfire style rounded rear surface which gave it very good stall characteristics.... So not only did the Tempest have a new wing but also bigger propeller and longer rear fuselage and bigger vertical tail surfaces... So the Tempest was not only a fast boom n zoom fighter but it was a very capable dogfighter as well
Did you miss the part where I said the spitfire style rounded trailing edge makes it good in the stall this also gives it good dogfighting characteristics because the depth of cord and good stall characteristics means it has a fairly low wing loading thus is it a good dogfighter @@killkesscmbn
Yeah, Spitfires and Mustangs and FWs- the Tempest gets my vote for the baddest-looking fighter of WWII. One significant difference from the Typhoon was a thinner (lower drag) laminar-flow wing.
While I personally have more of an affinity with modern/near future stuff, I do immensely enjoy WW-1 and WW-2 video's aswell. I am just glad that you are uploading video's on a regular basis!
Not sure on the fictional aspect. It did read like an autobiography, with maybe too much focus on the author. I believed the parts about the sheer terror of continuous ground attack missions in the Typhoon.
Finally a Tempest IL2 video! I was always curious what you thought of it and it was a treat watching you fold every enemy aircraft in sight. The tempest is hands down my favorite fighter in IL2 because of the raw peformance and firepower while being very forgiving to fly. Your videos are what got me into DCS and IL2, now I have hundreds of hours in each and still can't get enough. 🤘
Man, I was just thinking today how I need to break out "IL-2" in VR again. I used to play it regularly, and the Tempest was always my jam. Definitely one of the best VR experiences around. Probably time to fire it up again. Thanks for the motivation.
Keep doing more of the lesser known planes!!! We all love the mustangs, spitfires, amd 109s, but show more love to the less known aircraft!!! Love the content can't wait to watch more!!!!
Absolutely love the WWII stuff!! I also like your videos combining aircraft from various timeframes. For example, love to see what a single A10 would do against the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor. What ifs are fun!!
I didn't know much about the airplanes of WW2 but each time I thought you showcased the coolest one, you bring out something even better. After you videos I go and read up on as much as I can about these incredible machines. Also the way they fought in these times, just a huge ball of planes zipping each and every way is so much more chaotic than the surgical precision of modern air to air combat. That chaos definitely makes it more entertaining.
Your knowledge about even the smallest detail about these planes is truly astonishing. And it's not just modern combat aircraft but everything within the last hundred years. Thank you for the great content once again!
I've noticed your gun skill really improving a lot the more you're doing WW2 stuff. Love to see it, keep it up you're becoming more and more of a beast every day.
With a 32 cylinder 3,000 HP engine, 4 x Hispano 20mm. cannons with 120 rounds each and a maximum power dive speed of 657 MPH, the Hawker Tempest V was the very best of the British prop fighters, even eclipsing the Rolls Royce Griffon powered Spitfires.
I love these videos. The IL-2 stuff is a welcome variety in content. I enjoy the almost "simcade" damage physics compared to the seemingly under-performing DCS WW2 bullets and damage. Keep up the good content!
thank you soo much for IL-2 based content- bringing aircraft not in DCS and showing your skill at disassembling aircraft- and add a shout out to IL_2 for their damage model
Yay Tempest content! I used to love reading novels about WW2 as a child, and one that really stuck with me was about a Tempest squadron fighting over Holland and Germany. It was called something creative like "Tempest Squadron".
Back in the day when I flew MS WW2 dogfight CD I always flew the Tempest. Shooting down ME110's. JU88's and HE111's was so much fun. Then going after trains and Tigers with rockets was again excellent fun. The hard part was intercepting the V-1 Doodlebugs. Getting along side and flipping them was harder than you think. Great video GS!!
A growling Sidewinder - Amazing what a little disc of spark-eroded copper will do. . . . . . . . The Tempest wing was very different to the Typhoon and had a lot to do with performance.

Great content mate, even got the whole crew on my boat looking forward to their daily dogfight.
It was like this in MS Combat Flight Sim too back in the day.
I've loved the Tempest ever since reading Pierre Clostermann's "The Big Show" when I was a kid. 😎
I just finished The Big Show Audiobook last week. Harrowing what they went through even with the best equipment.
Im in same boat.
I remember reading the same book some 30+ years ago, a great book.

appreciate you brother, just trying to make some fun for people watching.

They sometimes had Mk XIV Spits flying high altitude top cover for them. A deadly combo.
Deadly indeed.

Gorgeous plane. Tempest 2 is my favourite (which had an amazing Centaurus engine and no protruding underside radiator). Great vid.
He 111 made my jaw drop... And then again during replay. Tempest the Mighty!
The last time I was this early, the tails were still falling off the Typhoons.
Some know their history..
All ironed out with the Tempest as well as the issues with the Napier Sabre engine which in my opinion was the pinnacle of WW2 aero engines
I understood that Reference!
@@nobbytart27Tempest was a beast

I love the Tempest in IL-2, not just because it is an incredible aircraft but one of the liveries in the sim bears my surname.
The scoop on the Tempest always reminded me of the Falcon. Very recognizable. Such a dope gunfighter.

Thin and laminar flow airfoil doesn't make a very good platform for Dogfighting...
Its entire surface was also much better finished. Particularly the rivets, to be as smooth as possible.
Certainly better than the Typhoon, although the engine still had its problems until the Sabre V - too late for WWII.
Did you miss the part where I said the spitfire style rounded trailing edge makes it good in the stall this also gives it good dogfighting characteristics because the depth of cord and good stall characteristics means it has a fairly low wing loading thus is it a good dogfighter @@killkesscmbn
The Tempest is my fav british WWII plane. An actual beast.
Only early typhoons had three bladed props, the tempests main performance advantage came from its wing.
More WW2 please! Loving every bit of it, also 3pt landings on spot brother.
Yeah, Spitfires and Mustangs and FWs- the Tempest gets my vote for the baddest-looking fighter of WWII. One significant difference from the Typhoon was a thinner (lower drag) laminar-flow wing.

I had no idea the Tempest even existed until today. Thanks for making this video. What a beast of an airplane!!
GS proving that variable wing sweep technology existed in the battlefields of WWII by constantly changing his enemies' wing sweep to 0°
Pierre Clostermann - RAF Ace made most of his kills on Tempest :-) I've read his book : The Great Circus. So its nice to see Tempest in Action !
Great book! Read it a long time ago.
It's a great work of fiction....
But it is great...
Not sure on the fictional aspect. It did read like an autobiography, with maybe too much focus on the author. I believed the parts about the sheer terror of continuous ground attack missions in the Typhoon.
Tempest propeller blades were also longer than the Typhoon's. Hence the long landing gear to give the massive prop ground clearance.
The main difference was a completely new thin wing.
@richa8308 Agreed, same difference between the Hurricane and Spitfire. The Wing root was so much thinner.

You bullied those Bf-110s silly with that Tempest. One of my favorite RAF fighter aircraft. Those stubby rapid firing 20mm cannons are devastating.
It seems to me that the Hawker Tempest is the A-10 of WWII. Great job, keep up the great work.

Keep up the WWII stuff plz. Very enjoyable.
Thank you for the Tempest content! By far my favorite in IL-2, although I'm warming up to the FW-190 Dora. :)
Always fun to watch. Keep up the WWII - any chance we could go the the Pacific?
A growling Sidewinder - Amazing what a little disc of spark-eroded copper will do. . . . . . . .
The Tempest wing was very different to the Typhoon and had a lot to do with performance.
The WWII fights are really awesome. It'd be interesting to do a couple more one-on-one dogfights in DCS using only aircraft from the 1935-1945 period.
Really enjoying the WW2 stuff! Always fun to see the variety
Love the ww2 content lately
