So, what’s up with the recoil and the instructor on this good plane?
And what would that be? That it’s under BRed but that teams still lose so it’s fine where it is?
How would it even affect statistics?
Not everyone has it or used it, just because they play Russia.
But yeah at 5.0 it’s losing its effectiveness. Especially when a P-47 with full bombs is cheaper to spawn, can kill a bunch of tanks and start to kill planes or strafe SPAAs.
There’s already the Yak-9UT at 5.7 which has 5.7 performances, or at least is more even to other fighters at 5.7.

My conclusion is that you have lingering hallucinations and see things that don’t exist

Russian fanboys pretending the Yaks 9 K and U arent ovetrpowered are so funny.

You are talking to someone who’d decrease the BR of virtually every Russian vehicle in game, and increase the BR of every other nation. You are wasting your breath.

USA & German fanbois pretending bombs arent more effective are very hilarious
Check out this list:
Well, the planes could have easily shot you down.
It’s more about being able to effectively kill ground targets.
You could have killed the same targets with a fighter/bomber.
This thing just outperform similar planes with much higher BRs. If this proganda with wings is 5.0 Do-335 B2 should be 4.7 .

An AD-1 or F4U could have killed the same targets.
Just bomb tanks, shoot down planes and kill squishy light targets with 20mm cannons.
If it continues to outperform others it will go up in BR.
Take another 5.0 like FW-109 D13 or F8 and try do the same. Yes both 5.0 as propaganda with wings aka Yak-9.

Yes, I’ve seen that list. Where you want to uptier the Luchs of all things. Which nobody plays, for good reason.

The 5.0 Fw 190s are 5.0 because of their flight performance.
And the F-8 is overtired for ground battles because it doesn’t get an airspawn in GRB and no one uses it as a ground attack plane in ARB.
The Yak-9K is a fighter that can kill ground targets but with the flight performance of a 3.7 plane.
So you are comparing apples with oranges here.
The Yak-9U at 4.7 has light years better fighter flight performance.
So the only good think about the Yak-9K is the excellent ground killing ability with okayish AA performance.
Any 4.7/5.0 fighter is going to stop a Yak-9K from ground pounding and/or shoot it down.
A more appropriate comparison would be Soviet 5.0 strike planes like the IL-10 and SU-6,
Which clearly don’t have the same ground killing potential in GRB.
It’s a malleable list. Nothing is concrete, I’m open to debate and factual conversations
As you have said there is no recoil in full real controls where there is no instructor. I tested it myself. You can shoot all the shells or untill gun jams and sight is not noving at all.
With far less ease, and being far more vulnerable.

Nah, they are all better fighters than the Yak-9K. Faster, better power to weight, 20mm cannons with lots of ammo.
He shot down 3 planes and his last three kills were all light targets that you could kill even more easily with 20mm cannons.
Which leaves a Skink, a Jumbo and a Colliope that you can easily kill with bombs. Lastly the CA Lorraine can be disabled with 20mm cannons from the top.
Only when the sky is clear the Yak-9K has an advantage in killing more ground targets, due to the large ammo pool.
Yes… this definitely describes the AD-1 or bomb/rocket laden F4U…

They get their performance once they dropped bombs.
If there’s a fighter nearby any of them is an easy kill. So it makes practically no difference.
The Yak-9K can probably go up in BR. Like I said, it basically outperforms strike aircraft like the IL-10 completely.
I mean I was never against the idea that it should be 5.7, where it’s completely outclassed as a fighter.
Even though I would question it whether a Yak-9K is better than having a plane with three 2000lb bombs that can easily kill mulitple targets, by just going for cap, with a single drop.
Unless you spam your shots, you won’t easily kill multiple tanks in a single pass with the 9K. Which then against forces you to RTB earlier.
