Didn’t you know that the Yak was the best prop aircraft ever made?
Did you not know that it could do everything every other aircraft could do better and more?
Shame on you for not knowing, it was really, really good I promise.
What an absolute joke this vehicle is and honestly ruins air battles - 13 years later and it is still as op as it was since the beginning.
Feel free to disagree - just be aware that you would be talking rubbish.
I absolutely HATE this aircraft.
Another long-running example of Russian vehicles with ridiculous parameters - or lack thereof in some instances. It is genuinely pathetic.
You are absolutely right sir.
yak 3u was specifically tailored to arb meta 100 years ago
Yaks stiffen incredibly at high speeds and can’t really dive well. I honestly rather fly 109 F-4 or F4U-4 to Yak-3 because with the F-4/F4U-4 I can dive down without ripping and the plane still controls like a sane thing.
Granted, I imagine markers and third person view + mouse aim remove a lot of the issues yaks have. Plus, they nerf their opposition through instructor limits.
Not my vids:
109 F-4 vs Yak-3. A match-up decided by playerskill rather than raw performance domination.
thats indeed the biggest problem
in sim idk about yaks but in ARB the yak3 is one of the best(maybe even the best) fighters you can play at 4.3/4.0
Same thing in Sim. Yak-3 is among the best picks for it’s BR while the Eremin’s Yak-3 on even lower BR is just pure silly.
Yak-1 is fair for it’s BR, it’s comparable to a Zero and it’s horrible survivability paired with good maneuverability and bad engine performance.
Yak-7B has horrible maneuverability paired with bad top speed and engine.
Yak-9 is Yak-7B but with improved maneuverability and engine.
Yak-9T is Yak-9 but with anti-tank cannon.
Yak-3 is a very very very good aircraft but still there’s some aircraft that can win against it.
Yak-3P is Yak-3 but absurdly better in any aspect, maybe the hardest Yak to fight against but there’s still many planes at 5.0 that can face it.
Yak-3U is Yak-3P with better engine and more drag due to the engine’s shape, basically P-51 in steroids.
Yak-15 is amazing due to the BR, jet engine, light weight, maneuverability and armament. however, it only has 1 23mm cannon which is hard to aim sometimes and it isn’t that common in ARB, and is still out-turned by props which have better acceleration and maneuverability.
Yak-23…well nobody uses it, MiG-15bis exists lmao.
Yak-30D x2 nobody uses it.
Yak-38M is Harrier but heavier and worse in all aspects, it gets out-rated by anything at 9.3.
Yak-141…well nobody uses it too, MiG-29 exists and Su-27 is also ur first option to grind ur first rank 8 russian jet.
