Today, we inspect a rare sight in the skies of War Thunder - the infamous XP-55 Ascender. This strange looking aircraft, which seems as if it was intentionally inverted by its designers for some strange reason, comes with a few flight characteristics that are very distinct - and not necessarily in a good way. Still, to the aircraft connoisseur, this machine holds some fine potential and can, together with its favorable and deserved matchmaking, do wonders - especially in vertical maneuvers.
What do you think of this strange bird, the XP-55? Share your opinions in the comments and be sure to leave some most likely much needed advise to your fellow Ascender pilots, if you do command one!
