statshark’s bug then, my bad.
still way more matches than me, so it’s a bit reasonable that u have better K/D after playing with it much longer than me.
I don’t really know.
It is rather normal that pepoples K/D gets more stable and lower after more games than other way around,

and tbh, i didn’t play the Yak-9K since i unlocked it years ago when i was researching planes in the USSR TT.
i have improved quite a lot since the last time i played with it and that’s why my stats are still somehow trash with it, i didn’t touch it for a long time.
The only thing better about the BK 75 is the penetration.
The NS-45 has better RoF and ammo capacity.
Not to mention it’s on a much better airframe.
The advantage of killing tanks from the side or even the front is negated by being only able to do these kinds of attacks. And you are much more vulnerable while doing so.
The Hs 129 can be shot down by 1.0 planes and 1.0/1.3 SPAA, simply because it’s so slow and killing one engine or damaging both is enough to bring it down.
As well as tanks just using their coax MGs.
The massive buff to explosive ammo also didn’t help the Hs 129 in the surviability deptartment.
So they are simple not comparable in combat effectiveness, at their current BRs.

now u want to discuss that or what?
You know what?
I’m too tired for discussing things with people who are talking total nonsense from the beginning and even admit that.

that’s called skill issue.
it’s normal around the vast majority of the comunity.
i think it’s better to admit something than lying and negating everything.

😂😂
Well, sometimes I’m also suprised when he says something that actually makes sense.

almost as if he like to trigger people and doesn’t actually believe in all the stuff that leaves his mouth
coming back to topic
It’s a yak airframe, a small, nimble and fast single engine airframe, that already separates it from 90% of cannon CAS, EXCEPT the cobra family. But unlike them Yak-9K recieves aphe taken from the best reserve tank cannon and ACTUAL PEN.
Yak-9K can attack from any fuckin angle, specially from directly above and NUKE the crew, some cannon cas usually stick to settin you on fire 3 times or killin 1-2 crewmates at the time.
The reports about the piss poor accuracy of the Ns-45 cannon while being used on the yak-9k airframe are skipped, which was one of the main reason the yak-9k never saw production.
yak-9k has:
above average FM, for even some fighters
above average firerate compared to other cannon CAS
Ns-45’s placement means it will never create kickback that will move the yak’s nose, will only slow it down, and yaks have an above average low speed control and acceleration.
FULL (fictional) aphe belt
The low ammo count is not a downside when you only need to sneak 1 round into a turret to nuke it, and the firerate will assure one of those will make it.
They keep comparing it to germany’s hs-129 B-3, basically ignoring the fact IT IS LOCKED to low altitude, low speed sideshots with a small window of time to fire due to piss poor firerate.
They never come across their mind the actual closest competitor is the italian F.C.20 Bis and followed by the Ki-45 Otsu, But they are not even rank II so they don’t care about it, they still lose on recoil issues and firerate and of course climbrate, which means they are limited in attack runs.
The solutions is bye bye aphe belt and bye bye accurate fire.

Also you can swap to cockpit view if you want a gunsight and know how to use soviet ones.
Just in every possible way Gaijin just Glaze Russia. YAK -9 gun was crap, rounds were unreliable and risk of causing oil leaks and damage to the airframe - In game accurate sniper cannon
German high calibre guns, slower rate of fire, more dispersion a general pain to use. German high calibre guns proven track record- in game well pretty mid
If you can’t beat them, join them.
I personally own a 6.0 lineup with some super OP vehicles; like the KV-220, T-V, T-34-85 45’,T-34-85 Partisan, T-34-85E, BTR-ZD, Tu-2S-59 and as a bonus I also carr the Yak-9UT which is even MORE broken than the K variant as it’s much more agile in my opinion and also carries a 20mm as a secondary weapon alongside with the 45mm. Despite when just unlocking it your only able to use the 37mm it’s still super easy to mod the thing in GRB. I personally have quite a high KDR in it. I think around 4 in 300 something games to be exact. Honestly at BR’s 6.0 to 7.0 basically no one uses these planes and I deeply suggest playing around those BR. But yeah at this point BRs at around 5.0 to 5.7 is a death sentence since your 100% going to meet one of the brain dead players.
Or berate the playerbase for voting on unrealistic APHE changes and instead make APHE act as it should universally :)

That won’t help against top attack APHE that will just make a cone through the top of your armor. Yak-9K and UT just need to lose the APHE or have it arbitrary changed down to SAP.
Top attack anything and you’re already finished regardless
Ki-45 Otsu actually uses a tank gun, hand-loaded by the rear gunner. Rate of fire, penetration, HE filler are all pretty bad. It’s a fun challenge to make work!
Meanwhile a 9K can oneshot even something as large and armored as a Ho-Ri easily with a side shot.

There is a clip of a 9K killing a battleship on this forum somewhere. I just cannot find it and am regretting not saving it when I first saw it.
