YAK-3 and all copys plus YAK-3U plus SPITFIRE LF MK-9 are killing props they have amazing performance and decent to OP guns depending on which ones your on about and HAVE NOT BEEN ADJUSTED IN BR FOR YEARS its making props unplayable for other nations one match the entire enemy team was YAK-3Us my team got curb stomped with no chance to win
they need a br raise in RB to at least 6.3
do you agree the YAK-3 all countries LF MK-9 and YAK3U should be raised
you can explain why you picked other down here
Conveniently doesnt mention american super props that have been undertiered for 10 years by now
yak 3 pulls energy out of its backside like theres no tomorrow so 10000% move those things up or maybe gaijin could stop with their stalinium flight models for once.
I get that you arent a big britain fan but the LF mkIX being singled out is a little misguided when the mk14 and mk18 exist. no mention of american stuff, I’ll assume is because their players SUCK so are free kills most the time until a single M20 bullet turns your damage model to dust.
One of the benefits of the fake USSR and USA LF mkIX models (not certain the Israeli one is legit either) is that we get to see what the actual average player does with it.
The LF mkIX feels relatively balanced from my own playing of them and stats seem to show its about that too. hispanos are good when they hit but youre outgunned most of the time (.50 cal belts for the spitfires suck as you dont get incendiary belts). You rely on people trying to turnfight just like how the zero is, just fly away or be at a decent altitude and you win. o
Very obvious outlier in the stats with the USSR stats which are absolutely ridiculous in the thing, that is EXTREME tryhard player stats (Its really weird how sweaty USSR air players are, considering the other two major nations air players are pretty poor quality). USSR sweats also help prove american planes are pretty good out of USA main hands lol
Stats dont really back this up as they get ignored by everyone once stock grind is over but the mk14 (and lesser extent the mk18) feel far superior to the LF mkIX as it turns just as well while being faster and having more power at altitude (far more valuable than most realise) I would honestly move them to 6.0 from it.
The only reason i have more matches in the LF mkIX nowadays is because they get american 500lb bombs when the mk14 gets GP500lb bombs, British bombs are about as effective as throwing a soggy showercap at the enemy.
Idk about Yaks or spitfires, but P-51H-5-NA and P-38L aren’t on that list for some reason
51H needs to be 6.7 no need for it to be 6.3
Air forces, so realistic, arcade, and simulator air.
Spitfire LF Mk9 is a 5.0 prop at 5.7 because of its climb rate.
Yak-3 is the BR it is because of how strong/weak it is.
I can think of a few stronger vehicles, many are not stronger in 1v1s, but are stronger in air battles.
Yak-3U at 5.7 however… no, I can think of BF-109K4 easily. Probably more vehicles stronger than it.
also if i remember correctly its the lightest one too cause later marks have reinforced airframes
also first mark IX is 4.3 not 5.0 now
its actually better than the other marks as its a insane high alt dogfighter
i see them all the time at 20K FT plus way before anyone can reach them your a better dogfighter too cause off being a earlier model
out of the 3 of them at 5.7 the MK9 has highest climb rate
31.8 m/s MK IX
24.5 m/s MK XIVe
23.3 m/s MK XVIIIe
also the MK IX has least amount of fuel capacity giving it better performance in a turn
MK IX 3.07 T
MK XIVe 3.4T
MK XVIIIe 3.43T
also it has lowest wing loading
MK IX 150 KG/M
MK XIVe 167 KG/M
MK XVIIIe 168 KG/M
they all carry the same armament too
MK XIVe 1,340 HP 100% 1850HP WEP
MK XVIIIe 1,340 HP 100% 1,890HP WEP
MK IX 1,330 HP 100% 1,700HP WEP
MK IX
100%
1,330 ÷ 3.07 = 433 HP/t
WEP
1,700 ÷ 3.07 = 554 HP/t
MK XIVe
100%
1,340 ÷ 3.40 = 394 HP/t
WEP
1,850 ÷ 3.40 = 544 HP/t
MK XVIIIe
100%
1,340 ÷ 3.43 = 391 HP/t
WEP
1,890 ÷ 3.43 = 551 HP/t
the MKIX has best power to wait at 100% only at wep does the MKXVIII perform better
The LF Mk9 has an incredibly capable flight model, but not an unreasonable one. It just uniquely suits the BR in question and the general gameplay of the ARB.
The Hispanos are good, but limited in ammo, I personally dont like the TT version with 2x 50 Cals but instead favour the Premium with 4x 303s. Which… dont do a lot of damage, but seem just a little more consistant in what damage they do do.
Increasing its BR would mean it would face jets, Constantly. That would kill it and its not as good as the Griffon Spitfires already at said higher BRs. 6.0, maybe, with moving other stuff up. But 6.3. Might as well delete it from the game
something needs to be done as its quite unfair being a 4.7 facing it as it outperforms everyone in a downtier and can hold its own fairly well in up tier
props need a decompression these guys have been this range near unplayable
Highest climb rate, but is the slowest in a straight line
to be fair no one plays a spit fire for speed most dogfights are lowspeed anyways wont really matter
No, but if you get in over your head, you can dive and run away, then there isnt much the Spitfire can really do about it.
90% of my kills are because someone was stupid enough to try and turn fight me
yeah you can do that but then what same arguement is used for the YAK-3U as it has a low wing rip speed you can run but youll never be able to beat it if he plays right unless you 2v1 it
Most of the soviet aircraft have BRs from when their 20mm were really really bad. They are now some of the best, BRs were never corrected
props need more BR space they need to raise br cap to raise up jets
Yeah, they do, but I dont think the LF Mk9 would be at that different a BR to the things it is already at the same BR with
the weaker 5.7s stay behind while strongest 5.7s move up .3
