Has the XP-55 been nerfed?

@Loofah

Yeah it can pull amazing reversals

Hell yeah. It’s always fun to be able to reverse yaks and even spits sometimes. I’ve never been able to do it against a Japanese aircraft though 😂

@Loofah

US teams at 4.3-6.0 range are absolutely dogpoop

Yeah, that’s probably the worst part of the XP-55 and it’s not even part of it 😂

@Loofah

this plane has a lot of aces up its sleeve.

Yeah

@Loofah

But I can agree - wing damage usually makes its flight performance damn bad

Yeah. Also even just a rock to the rudder or aileron will really screw up your time flying.

@Loofah

although recently I scored a crit and 2.“hits” with Wyvern’s quad 20mm and guy stayed around for a bit before rtb and repairing and I was plenty surprised he was able to shrug this damage off. I guess I just landed some SAPI/APT :)

Yeah maybe, but the wyvern is pretty tanky sometimes.

I mean, I was the Wyvern guy and I though I gave XP-55 guy a decent clobbering. It turned out I needed round 2 of that after he returned to the battlefield to finally make him properly ded. Damage models can be surprising at times :)

Ohhh, I understand it to be that the wyvern was the one taking the hits. Well I’m surprised that the XP-55 took that many hits and stayed in the fight…

Definitely
