Best method for using tempest mk v vickers p
So i usually rush and die fast so I was wondering what method other people use so i dont die so quickly. And I usually die because i stick to a pill box because my first 2 shots go right through the pill box so i end up crashing. Ive stopped doing that but i still get killed fast my other fighters when i rush. What method do you guys prefer to use when flying the tempest mk v vickers p

stay low but for you getting spotted by fighters nothing you can do you are draining the tickets making them start to lose so they are going to make sure you don't cause that.

If you are flying in AB, then fly fighters first at the start of the match and then when the tanks are closer to spawn, spawn your Tempest and start attacking tanks. It won't always be more safer but better than doing so at the start of a match.

Vickers P most honorabru british plane. Bomber hunt, then ram when you get attacked!
Low and flat, also attack medium tanks, best from behind, as opportunity from the sides, never frontal.

Use the Vickers P only as first plane if there are spots with tanks that are a bit off the furball action and you may have a chance of wreaking some havoc going more or less unnoticed, else bring it in as 2nd or 3rd plane, try to avoid other planes.

I got it spaded but it's still a plane I don't like to fly, bombs are just so much easier to take out tanks & pillboxes with...

If you are in RB then remember you're in a Tempest, meaning it is super fast for the low battle rating the Vickers P has. The trouble is you'll usually be cutting grass while enemy fighters will be at an altitude advantage, so you could always try turn and evade until they lose energy then steam away from them. I'm pretty sure there's not many planes faster at that br.

I find hitting pillboxes is more reliable if you approach from a steeper angle; if you approach quite shallow then that's when the shots tend to go straight through.

I didn't have much fun spading the plane since I noticed a pattern of the allied team losing with anywhere from 6 to 10 enemies still alive; I'm not sure what causes this but it might be to do with the matchmaker not taking in to account the type of plane that the players are in, meaning sometimes it can stack loads of attackers and bombers against a team of pure fighters.
