Do not underestimate the "paper" statistics of this plane. It is one of my XP-54 Goose killer planes. The Goose is good in a dive BUT not climbing. My XP-50 has climb rate of 438 ft/s and the Goose is 326 ft/s so the XP-50 can outclimb a Goose and leave it in the dust and actually BnZ a Goose. Most human Goose players want to try to chase another human to kill them and that is their downfall since they think their plane is superior and tend to think the XP-50 is an easy kill. My equipment on the XP-50 is: Uprated Engine, Boost Injection System, Gunsite and GOA. I also Fly with a 13 point pilot. Hope this helps anyone else who flies this plane (IGN: Thorondar)
The info is appreciated! Do you have issues with the engines being knocked out?
@@PostalMonkey I want to say no, Im looking at my consumables and do not have engine restart equipped. If I did I would change one of my 2 engine consumables with an engine restart. All my equipment is Ultimate but not max calibrated and I went for speed build: Cruise Speed is 369, Boost speed is 465 which again will leave the Goose in the dust and Max Dive Speed is 497 (My Goose is 559 Max Dive Speed) . It was built to counter the Goose. (IGN: Thorondar)
i have never played this game before, though i have played other wargaming games but i mainly play war thunder and in war thunder the xp-50 is completely broken
Oh? I've played it some more in WoWp and it's actually a pretty good airframe balanced by weak (for it's tier) guns. Not OP but has been fun.
Good information. Is this the new computer?
Thanks! And yes it is. Still needing some tweaks but I'm loving the upgrade
I was the mindless spitfire in that close game haha
Nah dude, not mindless, just too focused on what was in front 😁
This event made me buy back my F7F and got me to try Japanese heavies.
I put my Ki-102 to good use for Parts 1 and 2 of the "Battle of the Philippine Sea" 4 day extended weekend missions.
Is there an absolute "best" Japanese heavy?
Most people would say the Ki-102
Do people generally not like sniper cannons or something?
@@brianhenderson9124 they typically do not. Not sure if it's the range difference (ile understanding damage dealt at different levels) or the RNG but typically most people's faves have similar guns types on the ar
Definitely can see the design elements of it that Grumman eventually put into the F7F. I decided not to buy it because of its low firepower for a tier 6.
This plane reminds me of the F5F quite a bit actually now that I think about it. I can picture the step by step process from F5F to XP-50 to F7F
@@PostalMonkey Another Grumman aircraft. Makes sense!
@@PostalMonkey The F5F Skyrocket came out first In real life (in game came out after the XP-50), the military did not like the initial design and required changes that then developed into the XP-50.(IGN Thorondar)
@@keithbranon9397 thanks for the info!
I did a direct comparison of the XP-50 to my tier V F5F and it has 2 points less of maneuverability than the F5F (41 vs. 43 at stock config.). Since I got the F5F from an earlier mission grind this year, flew it a few times, hated it, and never used it again I have to concur that the XP-50 is also a dud plane.
Since Wg is all about extremes, Wg has the extremely bad habit of making way too many crappy planes for this game. Top off tier VI with the extremely way too op XP-54 and there is < 0 reason to part with even the 50% discount of 1800 gold for this hunk of junk. Even leaving it mothballed in the Arizona desert to eventually rust out the XP-50 is just another disappointing example of how Wg takes a great looking flying shooter game and foobars it with the extremes of imbalance.
Reading the Wiki on the XP-50, Wg should have cancelled this plane. Even the engines were no good.
