Gosh!! since I started playing with all planes for ““fun”” I just noticed a lot of planes that are so high BRed, planes that cannot perform well and are sitting at high BR and I’m getting tired of this, this is not “fun”.

What is a YaK-23 doing at 8.7? is higher even than MiG-15bis. That thing is too way slow to face uptier planes since 11 of 10 battles (Feels like it) are uptier, that thing only got 2xNR-23 which has a slow muzzle, poor ammo rounds, no airbreaks and worst of it in turning at medium speed it goes wobbly, at high speed is a brick, at slow speed is “decent”, it fails to be sitting at 8.7.

YaK-23 should be 7.7 or at least 8.0

I forgot to add, no combat flaps either…

I do agree that it’s a bit overtiered but not to put it at 7.7, it is a very potent turnfighter and if you use it on the deck and lure poeple after you you can do well.

Granted that it doesnt deserve 8.7 though, I’d say 8.3 or 8.0 would be a good br for them.

The yak30 D is pretty similar, a bit quicker and turns a bit less but still a decent fighter, way better than the yak 23.
