Gaijin, what the hell were you thinking giving Russian 45mm Prop Aircraft APHE belts?

Not just that, it also retains the speed it has much better, and can turn much tighter. Enemies will have less time to get into cover after a failed pass and its nose authority makes that much less likely.

You could do a SEP chart for both, it’d be mostly accurate.

Or you chose not to provide any other evidence… which makes you… biased

I only agree the Su-8 floats like a boat, others I have flown aren’t that bad. They’re no fighter with a 3 sec turn time, but still extremely viable

Like I don’t own XA-38 Grizzly (125 battles played, can be checked in game without any issue so come on with this trolling).

Just becaues You have played only 3 games in Yak-9UT and 2 games in Yak-9K doesn’t mean that other peoples are as biased as You are (54 games in XA-38).

I have been / seen many people get shot down by the pulk. And it’s cannon has more pen with same he filler no?

So you’re saying a 2000 lb or 4000 lb bomb on a planes is less effective?

This is simply Russian hate at this point. I can do a short dive and nuke tanks with 500 or 1000 lb bombs, something even bigger is ridicules.
Thus you are again arguing in bad faith.

Of course it is.

If you are so experienced, like I said earlier, you should be more effective with the bigger armament carrying aircraft.

Considering you showed an ideal match in the yak, let’s see one for what you consider a worse aircraft

Comedy gold

If You know that I’m experienced then also You should understand that I know which aircraft is better ;).

That is just how things are. Big bombs are carried by slow and big aircrafts with small anti-air capability in small numbers. Of course a 45mm gun is more effective. Saying otherwise is just pure bias.

So the weaker armed plane is the more effective one eh? Well, all of history disagrees with you.

My A2D and A-1H which are heavy strike aircraft disagree with you. Once the bombs are off (or jettisoned if in combat) they’re not that bad at all.

They are just as bad, if not worse. At least the Su8 can climb, the Hs 129 can’t.

Ki-109 presents a much bigger and clumsier target.

XA-38 is barely better and still a free kill to any fighter.

262 A-1/U-4 is much higher BR than all of these.

Russian hate is when people call out an obviously undertiered overpowered plane with a fictional APHE shell

Weaker armed plane? 45mm with 29 shells allow me to destroy 29 targets at the ground while Your bomb allows You to at best destroy 16, simple math.

Couldn’t care less about Your experience, as long as You don’t have 7 K/D in them.

“Why won’t the people I’m arguing with prove my point for me? They clearly must be biased”

Why can’t you perform this experiment? You have both aircraft, but you’re so certain in your own opinion you won’t even test it? An opinion you’re apparently basing off 2 battles in stock aircraft? I doubt you’ve even unlocked the full APHE belt yet, let alone the gun accuracy mod. And there’s no way you’ve gotten the 45mm on the 9UT, so those battles can be excluded.

You are in no way qualified to pass judgement on them.

This is called a one way street ^ and is why you are very biased.

Oh look: my very “ineffective” a-2D, which I was being engaged my enemy CAS and SPAA and I still got 5 kills wow.


I’d love to see someone get 29 kills all 1 shot. (Showing your bias again)

Also, bombs have a good chance of multi kills. 45mms do not.
Unless a Tiger II brings full Ammo and is next to an aa

You don’t carry 29 bombs. We’ve already done the math in this thread, you just keep denying it.

Sigh… blissful ignorance.

Oh yes let’s just void all but Russian vehicles.

Tell me you’re anti-Russia without telling me.

What’s strange is I’m getting 4-6 kills a life minimum in my A-2D, but it’s got bombs, so it’s no OP. Now imagine I could get 4 kills per 4k bomb. If I was that lucky, and got one per phone drop, I’d have 14 kills per life.
Still pretty good for 5 kills in a worst case scenario, but that’s bombs in a heavy strike fighter. Not OP clearly.

You mean You have bombed 3 people and one of them could be killed by 20mm?

Really proving the point here.

The thing is it can happen. With bombs It can’t.

And what does it change?

So You have at least 4 K/D in A-2D?

Oh it is ~2.86, nothing near 4 You were saying.

Just a casual game for the start of the day ;)

To be clear, this is a “whataboutism”. The existance of an OP vehicle does not disprove the existance of another unrelated one. Not that I’m saying the A2D is OP, it’s debatable, and off topic for this threat.

I’ll ask again because you dodged the question. What makes you qualified to judge the Yak-9K when you have exactly 2 games in it?

I was referring to my games today, not overall. I haven’t played the A-2D as much as you I’m sure, it’s a new vehicle to me, and getting used to any vehicles takes some games. Well get it up in kd don’t you worry ;)
