He uses 50% non-linear setting in elevator BTW. Good for shooting but not good for stall-fighting. He was not very good in a 1 vs. 1 championship BTW probably because of this.

Not making any accusations, just relating my experience which is contrary to the above.
In my experience in fighting Mr X, he uses stall fighting almost exclusively to escape defensive situations.
If you get on his tail with similar E, he will begin by using mild rollrate maneuvers to try to bleed speed from the opponent on his tail, then escalates to full horizontal scissors, culminating in semi-vertical scissor stall fight technique in attempts to get opponent to stall out in nose high attitude.
Mr X definitely does head shoot a lot. I was the recipient twice on Sunday, once completely my fault, when I was dragged and bagged by Mr X and another of his wingmen. (or maybe not a wingman, perhaps Mr X just took advantage of a situation where I was too focused) 2nd after we had extended fight, and lost sight for a brief second, he got behind for a second and shot.
So far haven't killed him yet, although that is more my fault than his, had several opportunities when my shooting wasn't up to par, or when so close my convergence was going either side of his cockpit. Certainly put bullets into him. He isn't invulnerable although he will rarely give you an easy shot. Especially as for example in the Dunkirk setup on the ATAG server, where the E-1/E-3's are the class of the available aircraft. I was flying a Rotol Hurricane 87 octane in my fights with him, would have done better in a Spitfire IA.
