You misunderstood me, I meant that I don’t see enough to make low tier “impossible to play due to how many there are”.
Yak-9k is annoying to encounter sure, but once you actually spawn proper counters it’s a non-issue. (Just like every CAS plane)
Again, try playing Russia yourself for once
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.
Unlike bombs…which arent as deadly as well.
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
What I see at 6.0, is mainly german teams being rekt by Russia and their yak-9ks everywhere, every time.
It one shot every each of them vehicle, easily
Prove it?
Using more than YouTube shorts from untrustworthy creators?
I don’t care if you don’t believe me you know
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.
A singular person stating something 10000 times doesn’t make it a cold take.
Funny, considering my experiences at 5.7-6.7 did not result in any issues with the yak-9k.
Especially not at 8.3-8.7.
I literally free aced the turm 3 within the timespan that the yak-9k has been at 5.0 in grb, I should know what that br range is like
You could check Thunderskill or Statshark. Last time I did it Yak-9k had ground frags per battle in RB of almost 3. Its considerably more than other capable strike fighters (like P-47 with 3 bombs and rockets etc etc).
Statistics from march 2026
Do you photoshop your results? Cause its this for the last month. Still very op average kill rate. Also the winrate, fits the picture. They stomp german ground teams.
Anybody stomps german ground teams, they are brainde*d
German ground teams suck, they consistently have the worst winrates at most brs despite having great lineups (6.7 is a great example)
Go on statshark and try it yourself.
I also do not trust thunder skill, iirc it is opt-in or something and has a tendency to inflate stats
Indeed thunder skill doesnt like to display proper stats
Just tried it and it looks like you need to sign in to see vehicle statistics?
Nah, I’m not doing that thank you very much
56% winrate.
Do you understand why ? Because it dominates at its BR and further
Im pretty sure that winrate is more due to other vehicles rather than the plane itself. Other vehicles can affect the yak-9k’s winrate too, since it’s used in a lineup of tanks
There’s more to that br range than just the plane
I also consider winrate more or less irrelevant.
It’s easily inflated or changed because of overall teams, just look at Germany being terrible despite having the best 6.7 lineup. The vehicles aren’t to blame here.
Look at KD and KS, those are much more relevant
Again, stop saying one particular nation has braindead players, because it literally has no sense at all.
You can’t say “germans are stupid, americans are stupid, russians are clever, chinese are clever => and that’s why Germany and Usa have ban winrates, while Russia and China have good winrates”.
It’s more than a shortcut, and not very clever. The real explanation behind that => Russia has good vehicles (artificially/shadow buffed as well), NATO has bad vehicles (nerfed-to-the-ground and shadow nerfed as well).
If NATO doesn’t perform, it’s not because we’re all braindead idiots, it’s because we have bad stuff, that’s all
Its true though.
Germany has one of if not the best 6.7 lineups in the game
Yet the winrate is one of the worst?
The vehicles are not to blame

It’s because the russian counterparts are just better. It’s all about relative performance.
Hot take → germany suffers at 6.0 and 6.7, their vehicles are easily killable, on the contrary of russian heavy tanks, for example (same thing happens at top tier btw, thus the bad german winrates there).
Also, cannot say as soon as you play a specific nation, you either turn completely braindead, or completely smart. It has like, no sense at all. Most people play Russia AND Germany at the same time. You’re telling be when they play Germany, they turn stupid, but when they play Russia, they turn smart ? Ridiculous, it’s the same person behind the monitor man
it just a known fact ppl that play germany, only do so bcs TIGER INVINCIBLE and dont know how to actualy play the game
