The Tempest Fleet Issue (TFI) improves on the standard Tempest in pretty much every way: smaller sig radius, more EHP and fitting, and a slightly faster base speed. The most important upgrade is the extra low slot which allows the TFI to fit a good armor tank. This makes the TFI a popular choice for armor brawling doctrines in lowsec.
Minmatar Battleship to V is very helpful, as the hull bonuses amount to a 2x increase in damage at Battleship V.

After the 2022 Uprising Expansion changed the Muninn's role from a long range artillery platform to a missile platform, the TFI quickly took the Muninn's place as the high-alpha weapon of choice for fleet warfare in the bloc fights of nullsec. With 1400mm artillery and a thick armor tank, the TFI can attain extremely high alpha at longer ranges then the Muninn was capable of while also sporting relatively high speed for a battleship. Unlike the Muninn, the TFI is armor tanked, allowing it to be used alongside more traditional fleet vessels such as Apocalypse Navy Issues, Paladins, and Megathrons.
