The YAK-130 is to good at 9,7

i know i said “guided” kinda forgot that manual existed and the fact that i have never rlly thought of manuals as a guided ornament, and i want to apologise for my mistake

Sure why not, are you ready to give it 2 x R73’s and flare / Chaff pods on that same time?
Ps. A4’s exists in 9.3 but community whines only about soviets when they get something similiar

oh yeah right. but can be hard to use it some time due to the lack of speed.

no worrys, after all i dont mind to add other options for the others.

no people bitch about the a4s as well, just that they fly like a brick, and have a limited capacity of 2 (sure the israeli one has more, but that means playing israel, which no one actually does so you rarely see them, hence why theyre not bitch about as often)

however the yak130 had twice the payload of the a4, and has a flight model where most jets will actually have to try to take one down, unlike an a4 where at its current br pretty much everything can curb stomp the thing.

i mean if you guys want to give the yak130 the other stuff its missing for a br increase i would support that 100%, because that means one less cancerous plane i gotta deal with at 9.7

I just keep it funny, when people pointed out those A4’s long ago.
“it is just TV seeker” and you could use mclos missiles on tv seeker also.
not to mention those were even lower back in day.

But hey, soviets gets a plane what is manouverable, and got 1 or 2 bombs more, doesnt have CM’s, or A2A missiles on loadout on same BR (9.3) God what crying started.
And nowhere to see how people told to counter A4’s. Just take a plane and drop em with that.
Suddenly all who defended A4’s were opposing YAK.
So it doesnt apply on “russian bias glasses”

Yak 130 is a vastly better platform than the A4E, every SAM in the BR can be outrolled besides the strela, 9Bs are practically a waste of a hardpoint against anyone with eyes.
And in a2a it can compete with pretty much every plane it faces outside of the ariete/f5 and all aspect AAM slingers, while the A4E early pretty much falls flat if any plane looks at it.

9Bs are practically a need of a hardpoint against anyone with no flares at that br

There are quite few all aspect slingers on 8.3-10.3 on ground games.
Yeah, barrelroll is only defence in it.
Gun on a2a dogfights is utterly shit on 130, burns all ammo in seconds, and has horrible ballistic, not to mention that 23mm soviet gun is a joke against ground, even 20mm works better.

Yeah, preflaring is not viable option either on A4’s , since what would you use 60cm’s at all.

9B is better that none a2s missiles on those br’s.
Heck even german 91 is quite fun on ground games, when people dont have flares, and they dont keep eye so much against missiles vs air games.

But yeah I try to understand, russian bias right

Tthe majority of ground strikers either have flares(alpha jet, su25k, a4), are maneuverable enough to outpull the 9b(sabres, mig15/19), or fast enough to simply outrun it(f4c, f104/5, mig21).

9.7: Su25k, Alpha Jet TH, Su22SM3
10.3: A10A early, MiG21bis, AV8S
10.7: A10A late, AJS37, Hawk 200
Not that many. Most have to sacrifice a large portion of ground strike ability to carry all aspect.

rolling/outmanuevering SAMs is generally the only option available to all strike aircraft regardless if they have CMs or not, even at top tier CAS is doing sparrow rolls, minranging, and multipathing.

Except the airframe is very good for dogfighting, it can hold its ground against most fighters unlike other strike aircraft which explode when a fighter looks at it.

The majority of plane guns are ineffective against ground targets, even guns like those on the A10/Mig27 are only good at killing light skinned or open top vehicles like scout tanks or SPAA.

30mm’s bites like a charm, even againts a4’s, abrams or T series.
Same goes on alphajets 27mm mauser
At least on chinese F6C , since I keep it on 10.3 lineup with me.
20mm’s on ground belts usually rips trough engine deck quite easily putting em on fire, but that 23mm just seems to bounce more vs 20mm’s

exactly, and now go look on 8.3 game, when you get to be on top tier in A4, no AA can actually touch you , and if soviets are on game, just take 60flares, and preflaring before run. Only what can do something is type 93 on contrast lock.

works also on 9.3 , and trying to lure ir’s on deck.

You dont see those in A4! unless you really want to place it on 9.7 lineup , but you do face em on 130

Plane spawn rate /use rate charts anyone?

i dont think any of these should be there brs 10.0 in GRB minimum for all of them

Sure, as long as SPAA goes up by the same amount.

some spaas should go up IM LOOKING AT YOU STRELA tho most gun SPAA like ZSU shulka are some missile spaas should go up

Yeah exactly.

Main US but been playing UK 10.7 and grinding their 11+ and gotta say… kinda hate both those planes equally. I see the Yak more though. Not by much, but I do see them more.

Meanwhile Ayit at 10.0.

With improved A-4 engines. 2 Walleyes 3 mavericks oh and 2 Shrikes now.

Sounds familiar defending :D ?
