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.
I’ll just leave this here.
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
Spitfire IX LF is a good counter to the Yak-3U.
It just depends on your playstyle as to which one you’ll prefer.
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
When will this thing hit 6.0 already?

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
3U outperforms VK-107 at every alt except 3000-5000m and doesn’t overheat like mad. In most situations, 3U is the better plane.

decided to spade this thing right now just because of this post and man does this thing feel like a ufo. does not lose speed whatsoever below 4k
How often do you see ta 152s (h1, the c3 is mid) dying. If only the average german knew about its flaps
The trick is to climb and become untouchable at high altitude.
Alternatively the enemy ground pounds and you end the game without firing a single round 😄
One time me and two other P-51 Hs tried to go after a Ta 152 H when he was space climbing but we basically couldn’t get him before the match was over.
There is not a single plane in Warthunder that the P-51D-30 threatens. the damn sakeen can beat it in a dogfight.

cue my post “spitfires are basically unmatched” or something like that
