YAK-3 from 4.3 to 4.7-5.0
simply out does all other at br its a jack of all trades only thing that beats it in a turn fight are japanese planes and spitfires but you can just out energy them. your SHVAK 20mm is one of the hardest hitting 20mms and the 12.7s are some of the best 12.7 DPS wise
it also has a high climbrate and really good speed

are you forgetting the 163 is superior to it?
It’s not worthy of 7.7. The thing physically can’t turn past 800kph, it has 90 rounds of ammo (45 per gun, albeit the guns are very nice and hit quite hard) and has a total of 2 mins of fuel.
It’s too good for 6.7 definitely, but anything past 7.3 is going to kill it.
me163 has same problem as its on EC maps
You don’t get EC maps in ARB? (at least around 5.7-7.7)
And I would imagine that a plane with that limited fuel would be a pain in sim.
agreed many yaks need to go up in fact put them at 6.0 if my tiger can get FUKED by now not even being able to climb small hills (which it already struggles to do on 20-25 degree inclines even tho irl it could do 35) then the yaks can all get FUKED too
sorry not EC but these are like 9.0 maps big maps
YAK-1B 3.7
same reason as yak-3 out does out perform basically everything near it gets same good shvaks and good 12.7s and has a insane power to weight for its br
me163 should get an air spawn or something

YAK-1 same reason at 2.7 is criminal as how good it is high damage 12.7 and 20mm good FM and good power to weight its a demon at low tier against P40s and 109s high straight line speed definetly 3.0 to 3.3
but then it can’t show off the dolly gear :(
you could still choose to spawn on the ground or when you go back to base it will put them back on once you refuel and reload
Fair.
I’m not completely opposed to them getting an airspawn, but the 163s are a pain to fight against and it appears they are a pain to use as well…
but if they move that thing up in 7.7 it would be more better for that 7.3 or 6.7 bracket.
ya it sucks for both parties sadly
2 minutes of fuel that will last 20 because reasons.
if gaijin made more modes like defense of Berlin, Moscow, Rome, etc etc or something like that then things with low fuel could yk be useful and used how they were meant to be used as defense fighters and plus it would allow for a bombing game mode so bombers could be useful
sorry no. That’s like saying “Move the Spitfire LF MK9 up because it ruins the 5.7 bracket”.
There will always be meta aircraft.
very much a stretch, and it severely limits the plane’s performance going that low on throttle.
However, fuel consumption for the rocket planes needs to seriously be looked at.
