Yak9k is no doubt absolutely broken and probably should have it’s br adjusted (not 6.0, that’s ridiculous) or aphe removed.
However if you’re wanting to cripple its flight performance and have the recoil cause structural damage because it’s more realistic, then we should also have features such as 90% of king tigers break down after 50m and can’t be repaired… because realism is best right?
How is the FM of the yak 9s any better than the competition? Spitfires basically outperform them at every br… not sure how the FM of the yak 9ut comes even close to the LF mk9… or the yak 9p’s fm with the the mk 5c, seafire mk3 or bf 109 G2… or the 3.0s yak 9s with the mk2a.
The yaks with an actual good FM are the yak 3s.
Ye. I mean AP solids are quite dangerous to use in closer ranges since if the ammo does go boom then you might also get killed by the exploding enemy, since most of the time it’s not a crew kill unlike APHE. TBH, I like APCBC better since they are more like a solid shot that thinks it’s a APHE round.
IDK what FM is, but to be honest the YaK-9 does way better than the G2, since the Yak-9 has a better turn rate and a UFO flight model. The Spitfires probably can kill Yaks but it’s unlikely that there is one in GRB, since it’s half Stukas and half Yak’s in low tier.
You can just outclimb them with the g2, FM isnt only turn rate, and btw you can outrate the 9p, it is literally the worse yak 9 at turning.
LOL. Then what about limited fuel? And what about mud? I mean, yeah, I guess it’s too harsh on the Yak-9 to cause DMG, but I think the recoil should eat up the speed/maneuverability, since it’s a russian UFO that uses laser beams to hunt down tigers.
I went over this in another thread, but the Hs 129 has incredibly poor flight performance, and the P-39/P-63 cannon has low velocity, much less penetration, and is solid shot. The 9K is the ONLY single engine fighter with a relatively large, accurate cannon with APHE.
Yak-9K retains its CAS potential without impacting its flight performance. It can use its excellent roll-rate to force advantageous positions or force overshoots, defeat its opponent then go right back to CASing.
Now let’s take one of the best CAS platforms, the F4U-4.
Load her up with bombs and HVAR. Suddenly, she goes from an amazing dogfighter to something awfully mediocre. For it to regain its capabilities, it must ditch its payload (and thus be restricted to strafing with .50 cals) or fight at a serious disadvantage.
Consider how much difference taking 15 minute vs 30 minute fuel makes (from completely empty to 100%, F4U-4 has 636 kg fuel). Bombs and HVARs are heavier than that (1252 kg for 4 HVar, 2 1 ton bombs). The plane as a whole, dry and clean, comes up at 4697. Its CAS-set up almost makes up 1/4 or 1/5 of its mass depending on fuel load.
The Yak-9K has optimal CAS loadout even at its lightest and at its heaviest alike.
And also, rate isn’t the only thing for dogfighting. Roll rate also exists - see my above post comparing roll rate between F4U-4, Bf109F4, MkXIV, F6F-5 (graphs says -3, idk why) and Yak-9K. All aircraft are in clean configuration, 30 minute fuel. Of them, only the Yak-9K retains full CAS capability at that configuration and it has the best roll rate out of all.
Climb/SEP definitely matters, but …
It’s pretty competetive too.
Especially if we again consider that its CAS loadout is same as A2A loadout, while everything else must add hundreds of kgs of excess mass to achieve similar outcomes
Im anwering to his claims where he claims that all yak 9s should have their br review becuase they FM is “exellent”. i wasnt just talking just about the 9k but all of the others, sure the 9k should probably go up in GRB but this is not the case for all yak9s.
6.0 is a bit high but 5.3 for sure.
No aircraft in the game can do this.
I get 3 ground frags in the F6F.
Yak already has a higher spawn point cost than the F6F as well.
did bro not see the video i posted?
A video of someone showing off their skill against a team with less skill is not evidence.
Cross-analysis is evidence, and the F6F is 3.3.
AU-1 is 5.7 with 6 frags of bombs equipped before the 20mm.
F4U-7 is 6.0 with 3 bombs and 6 SNEB pods… oh and 20mm.
The Su-6 is 4.7 with 23mm and 2x bombs.
IL-10 5.0.
The German A10 firing better rounds is 5.0 [One of the Me 410s].
Superior to vastly superior options as CAS, and all are cheaper to spawn… except the Me410, that’s as expensive.
Experimentally
If it was produced in any number there would be more information on it or even some actual rounds.
The cannon was tested after WW2 on the Su-8, yet no one has ever discovered an NS-45 APHE shell.
Only APCR and HEFI-T.
All of those planes you tested except the f6 beats the 9k any day. No matter the pilot experience.
Can you pick the actual best loadouts for these planes and not whatever trash this is. An maybe also like relevant planes, unlike the su6 and me410
So the duck beats the yaK-9? nice
That is the best loadout and consider the Yak-9 it doesn’t even need a loadout man.
How about no?
Please do not talk about things you have no idea about.
