Im sorry but to claim that Hail is "highly usable" can only mean 2 things: 1. you've never flown a tempest 2. you've never seen how "highly useable" void is

Ok you just downgraded Hail from "highly useable" to "worthwile". But I can't even agree with you on that if I need cargo space for cap boosters.
We could discuss for days how much the ~15s to change ammo nerfs your damage per minute or how much you hit when you arrive with +1000m/s at the target with 50% tracking penalty. But lets not, it's all been written before...

Let's not argue semantics. I'll call it awesome rainbowcolored death spewing out of guns if it makes you feel better, the bottom line on Hail is that it's extremely useful.
Maybe I'm just really awesome, but when getting a 36% damage bonus on an ammotype I build the ship around it and not just load it into my old vanilla dualrep 'pest. I've already mentioned it last post - you will be screwed in your dualrep Tempest, but then that isn't exactly a great setup in the first place.
And I'm not sure how exactly you're overshooting targets. That's what experience flying the damn thing is for, handle your inertia and come to a full stop within 14k (or let them enter 10k with minimal closing velocity in the case of Megathrons - ie let them catch you moving away). The damage lost from the ammo switch is in the worst cases about 8 seconds worth (you can't really be shooting while locking), in a hypothetical situation where you jump through an unscouted gate solo and encounter a battleship.
In every other situation I have Barrage or EMP loaded for travel, and Hail for BS engagements which tend to be predictable in both timing, types and ranges even while flying solo - nullifying the speed penalty almost entirely.
Now we found your problem, you're awesome and most people aren't. Now if you ever happen to stumble upon an awesome mega, domi, raven, phoon pilot be sure to have a multi or two on your tempest.
