Yak-9k with omgwtfbbq APHE, dropping tanks in the dozen every match, isn’t exactly 12.3 BR.
Its makes playing tanks impossible at low BRs up to early cold war stuff. Wounder if its even real, never heard any rl WW2 stories about this. Almost every BR bracket is somehow dominated by russia. Air, Ground, Naval.
8.0-8.7 is known to be full of lightly armoured tanks.
Big surprise.
Even so, that br range is littered with radar SPAA, a prop should not be doing well there unless the SPAA are blind, deaf and have their hands removed.
It’s far from consistent, you’re better off just using a bomb.
Any competent plane at 6.7 wouldn’t have issues taking out a yak-9k either
I lost so many Tigers and Panthers to Aphe oneshots from Yak-9k that I stopped playing. Add SPAA tanks to this as well. The worst part is also that Yak default belt contains APHE as well…with slightly reduced efficienty you can massacre tanks without raising spawn point costs. You can spawn this thing two times.
With bombs you can one-tap multiple targets in one go with a larger damage radius.
That’s an issue regarding gaijin’s completely terrible sp system for aircraft, not exclusive the the yak-9k.
It used to be so much worse with separate spawn point pools for strike aircraft and fighters regardless of loadout.
That actually used to benefit the US more than anything
People play the game, people play 6.0 against Russia, people know. It’s widely known that Yak-9k is completely op, it’s not a hot take than I’m just stating this very day.
