About this aircraft
The Yak-38 offers a rare playstyle, as it can be used both as a plane and helicopter through hovering! It can’t compete with the best fighters in regards to agility, but it does excel in attacking ground targets. It can accelerate quickly, can equip a wide range of weapons and features a ballistic computer to help aim guns and rockets.
I think is sort of a balance thing at the same time is frustrating, some how VTOL airplanes overheats more faster than other planes, which is easier target for missiles.
In counterparts those are somewhat more versatile and accelerates much faster which is good for striker airplanes like Harrier and Yak-38, at least on my opinion, it’s a good plane for simulator battles.
