XP-50, Good or Bad?
I just recived a 30% discount item for the XP-50, and I was wondering if it is worth buying. Is it good? Bad? Pros? Cons?

All i know from facing it is that it climbs amazingly well and is pretty damn fast. Its kilometers above us every match.

Its a great spaceship for climbing up to 12km very quickly. I wish it had more ammo for its canons.

It can hardly turn, its a boom and zoom type of plane. It does very well at climbing and goes very fast. But is very slow to turn

Keep it in the low BRs and try not to turn fight and its a seal clubber because of its cannons in the nose and good ammo supply for cannons .

There is only 60 shells for each of its canons. Thats enough for 2-3 kills only.
Thats why i usually have to use only its 0.50s for shooting down japanese planes.

Thats why very short bursts give a lot of knock down , its comes to the gun sight pretty good and I see a lot of guys do very well with them , I did ok myself for awhile just I like to change my line ups around so its now sitting on the bench , got to watch your 6 its very vulnerable from behind but it sure packs some punch .

Yes, go for the XP50, it's worth it.

Well, for starters, I mostly play AB, but I disagree.

I can't tell you how many times I got kills just turnfigthing with it- against P51s, BF109's, FW's.... Im not sure, maybe I was just facing people who really didn't know what they were doing, or the plane itself is really that good. Or, you know, it's because of AB flight model.

I honestly don't know, since turnfighting with XP50 is usualy my "last stand, my last move to try to survive", but mostly, it gets me out of trouble just fine. With some kills under my belt to spice it up.

In any case- an awesome plane in my opinion.
