The Yak-3U is excruciatingly overpowered and it insults the entirety of the 4.7-6.7 br bracket

Ever heard of playing chicken?

Being bait is not a threat. A 335B can’t do shit unless the 3U flies into his guns.

Have you seen some of the stupid people who fly in this game XD

15

Also I count anything that can annihilate an aircraft with one squeeze of the trigger a thread. A very BIG one…

16

Again, simply don’t fly into their guns and there is no way a 335 (any 335) can get guns on a 3U and hit.

That’s not saying much. By that measure, the few times I’ve killed Su25s and A10s in props mean they’re a threat - they’re not

What r u smoking brother, have you ever dog-fight-ed or even been in close range of 108? If even one Minengeshoß hits you, your back to the hangar, that’s why I love it.

I’ve been on both ends of the MK108 and it is hilariously easy to dodge. Sure it’s great if you hit, but it’s a bigger IF for that one than pretty much any 20mm.

Okay, well you think what you think is a threat and I’ll think what I think is a threat and all will be happy :)

i did, and these flying the yak3u just keep pitching up onto people flying 890kmh and still managing to catch up because as a russian plane it doesn’t care about energy differentials, and as a yak3u, it cares even less about it. Yak3u is pretty much untouchable. 680kmh on the deck, two of the hardest hitting guns in the entire game (as a whole, harder than defa and harder than ho155) and very good high speed handling. I’ve reversed spitfires and sea furies in it constantly.

Just drag it up to 4000 meters and watch it asphyxiate. They are only scary when you play down at their area.

23

I’ll just leave this here.

24

what you think i haven’t played the Yak 3U? I know damm well what its strengths and weaknesses are. and mid altitude performance is not one of them

25

Spitfire IX LF is a good counter to the Yak-3U.

It just depends on your playstyle as to which one you’ll prefer.

26

The problem with every Yak in the game: unrealistic energy retention. They can turn-fight horizontally and not lose energy. Not to mention they can pull 20G turns with no damage.

that and the disgusting low altitude performance, you can chase down p51h5s that are too braindead to climb

3U slams all of these except the similarly undertiered and overpowered LF mk9. Like, D30? Really?

P.108A meta???

It’s honestly an ok plane, I played it a few times, didn’t like it, never went back. HOWEVER, the YAK-3 VK-107 on the other hand. WHAT IN THE FLIPPERDOODLE IS IT DOING AT 5.7
