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.

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