Now, some planes perform far better in sim than in RB.
Let’s look at RB pilots:
Also, yak-9M and not Yak-9K but…
Given that both have Klimov VK-105PF as their engine and this is their masses and spans:
Their performance is pretty close depending on fuel load taken. 9M has its center of mass shifted slightly further back so it does turn slightly better
If we accept this then wouldn’t you know it,
the yak roll rate permits Tea-rex to force one-circle and control position through superior pursuit curves.
Todays is 4.3-5.3 day in air sim. Yak-9K is absolute bottom feeder.
Enemy team had a Ki-84 Ko that amassed a 10+ kill streak, as one would expect of a Ki-84. I have foolishly tried to save my team’s mustang from it, and it accounted for one of my deaths
My deaths were:
Me-264 who shot me after I shot its wing off
Ki-84
A6M5 third-party after killing a Bf109G10
In the clip: I get kamikazed by another zero after the bf109G10 goes down.
Checking on statshark:
The bf109G10 I killed before the clip has 955 hours in a fighter
The Ki-84 2332
The Bf109G10 I rolled with 4572
BF109 from the clip:
Suffice to say, I fought people who know how to fly.
Suffice to say, this is the first time I fly yak-9K in ASB and don’t even have expert crew.
Suffice to say, this pseudo-duel that got third-partied was done in a yak-9K that lost half its tailplane and such had reduced elevator authority and increased slip.
Could the Bf109 done better? Certainly, could have went back into a climb but they saw a seriously wounded, crippled prey whose tail got blown up. Surely such can’t turn with them, can it?
If you want to keep making idiotic braindead statements like these, make sure that you are replying to something I said with regards to another of your idiotic statements. I understand english is hard for you.
Honestly whats confused me is how these Yaks have been in the game basically since beta, and were never really relevant before, but suddenly they have popped up and become meta for GRB.
I dont remember seeing any changes or buffs to them recently, why have they suddenly flooded the ~4.0-6.0 GRB range?
(They definitely need a nerf, all of them need serious BR revisions, the Yak3s especially are full blown UFOs)
