Didn't you know?

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
