Before reading my post, I think you all need to see this. I believe however your day has been, this will surely entertain you.
OK, let’s begin.
Wyvern S4 has completely ruined ARB at this BR. with air spawn, outrageous acceleration, climb rate and top speed, wyvern is stronger than and air superiority fighter up to 5.0. it can either kill ground targets and empty the ticket bar in less than 4 minutes (especially in maps like Tunisia), or enter the fight above all fighters, bombers or strike aircraft–in a word, everything else in this game. In addition, wyvern has more firepower than anything else at this br. 4 hispano V cannon-- with 1200 rounds? seriously?
So, what is wyvern S4 not capable of? well, as long as you play ARB this br, you know wyvern loses all its speed in a second in dogfight. Despite that, it can still gain speed in a second, which can usually compensate for this draw back.
Should wyvern S4 be moved to a higher br? This question has been discussed about before, on tjis forum. Well, the answer is no. BR change cannot solve the problem. As long as wyvern being faster than any prop plane and spawn in the air, this plane will always be extremely biased (unless it is moved to 6.0, same br as AD-2).

what is the wyvern not capable of? Turning. you can beat an aggressive wyvern by not going in a straight line.
Also the Wyvern isn’t anywhere near the cancer it was when botting was a major problem. and after base bombing rewards got nerfed its not as valuable to use to grind SL anymore, when I’m short I use the SAAF lightning to base bomb and then dogfight as the SL rewards are near double

Absolutely agree, I own it and don’t play it anymore. It’s stupid that the thing gets an air spawn. All it does is screw over everyone in the game.
Screws the bombers on your own team
Screws the ground attackers on your own team
Screws the enemy with ticket bleed
Screws the enemy bombers if they go high
It’s a selfish aircraft to play and is pay to win. If you play it and just bomb a base then get a kill or two you are contributing to everyones misery.
If the air spawn was removed it would be ok.

I think I’m just salty that this and the xp-50 get air spawns and KI-87 doesn’t.
The XP-50 would be well balanced if it didn’t have an airspawn. It’s only OP because of it’s airspawn.

Sure, when Su-6 loses its air spawn.
Can I have a turbo piston engine on Su-6?
Or let’s just make it easy. move wyvern S4 to 5.0, where it used to be.
Right now there are at least 3 aircraft at or below 4.3 as fast as the Wyvern at 1000 meters altitude.
P-51D/J-26 at 4.0: At least 5kph faster. In 4 nations as unlockable vehicles: Sweden, China, USA, and Israel.
P-51C at 3.7: At least 5kph faster. In 5 tech trees: Sweden, France, China, Japan, and USA.
P-63C at 4.0: 10kph slower. In France, USA.
Typhoon Mk1b at 4.3: 5kph slower. Unlockable in Britain.
Honorable mention:
VB-1002: ~20kph slower.
La-7 at 4.7: 5+ kph faster.
Do 335 A-1 at 4.3: 20kph slower.
And of course all these aircraft are faster than Wyvern at and above 3000 meters altitude.
Wyvern is the size of a B25 bomber without the survivability of one or any of the other listed aircraft.
Wyverns are free kills what is everyone talking about?
They seem annoying at first but after 3 games they are like bombers free easy kills. BF109s and FW190s are faster even at BR3.0 Americans at BR2.7 and spitfires faster at the same BR. Just another pointless nerf making an aircraft non competitive like most nerfs. In all honesty the only reason I could see people playing it is to grind and catch bad players off guard who are used to a 4min of climbing so they zone out. It isn’t as big as a B25 but dam close and a lot bigger than most other aircraft. A yellow engine turns them into a flying brick taking approx 150kph off their top speed.
I get the feeling most people complaining are bomber grinders.

Facts. A single 7.7mm API-T to one of the two massive engines is more than enough to cause a never ending fire. I actually stopped playing RB with the XP-50 for this reason, a majority of players are smart enough to just avoid you in outer space, and as soon as you get into a dog fight or boom 'n zoom all it takes is a single HE or incendiary round to hit your engine, and you are as good as gone.
Im actually quite disappointed in myself for believing all the hype around the XP-50, with the way some players talk about it, it made it seem like it was some unstoppable force.
