I see some truth in what you say, it confirms by my experience. At speeds, say between 200-350kph, I didn’t beat the XP50 in maneuvering, that would be consistent with what you’re saying. I’ll take your observations to heart, and first of all try to maintain a higher speed in a duel with the XP50. And if I get into a fight with XP50 at higher altitudes above 5000km, or if I just meet them that high and see them coming after me, I’ll try to get them lower.
It’s a little more complicated than that, but yes. Again, can you post a server replay of you getting shot down by an XP-50?
Now I don’t know which one it is, you rather watch this replay (my last battle yesterday) and tell me if I played it well, if I have a good handle on the Ki-44, or if I’m a noob and just got lucky. At the end of the battle 1v2 duel (my Ki-44 vs P-51+La-5).
