Both the pics look great, the Tiffie and the Tempest were great tank busters, anything soft-skinned would feel the 20mm and the tanks had 500 pound bombs or AP rockets

Nice pics. Yeah, if it wasn't for that light in the background of the second pic, it would've been a lot better.

Actually, the Tiffie could hardly hit the broad side of a barn door with rockets. Something like a 0.5% chance of hitting what was aimed at. Most of the time they carried the 60lb HE warhead.

The Tempests with 2TAF were used mostly as fighters.

Tempests were never fitted with rocket launchers during WWII.

You are correct that they were never used in WW2 but they were able to carry them and were used after the war.

Tempest Mk. V was tested and cleared to carry 8 zero length 60 lb ground attack rockets. But it was never used operationally during the war. After the war, when used on Mk. IIs, the rockets were often mounted on zero length hooks. The rails spoiled the aerodynamics of the wing.
