Ehhhh…
I’ll just write this down just for you.
For a loooong time on this forum, me and others who advocate for tank only gamemode argue with cas abusers. People for TO posts a lot of arguments, while cas abusers do not have anything to say, and their strongest argument is “just spawn spaa” or “just spawn a plane bro”.
So, going here, seeing people complaining about plane, i simply post “just spawn spaa” comment. Do you get the irony here now?
The fuse sensitivity is ridiculous indeed. Bottom fused shells need serious decceleration for it work. No way 1mm of srmor decceerates this shell in a significsnt fashion. And yeah, the explosive power of this shell…
Tried 50mm recently in Poomer.
Shot a guy in the turret. 1 out of 3 crew ded, gun breech yellow. He shoots me I die. Basically 50mm does not kill things in 1-shot unless very lucky and it doesn’t even kill everyone in the turret o if shot from the side.
Meanwhile Yak-9k casually 1-shot my crew in a goddamn Churchill MK VII 10s after I spawned and no, ammo did not explode. If shot in the turret - sometimes hull crew survives. Sometimes.
I prefer blowing Tiger II H/Tiger II P/Jagdtiger/Ferdinand/Jagdpanther with 1 tap
Funnily enough, the Yak9k can one shot most SPAA. So unless it flies in a straight line at them it’ll likely destroy the SPAA. At best it’ll be a trade.
@Hudler “People have brought it even higher, to the 8~ range.” means BR8. Not tier 8. The ~ stands for ± some points.
Glad you edited it and cleared out the confusion.
Kinda sad that you had to crash out so much about it, but still, we reached consensus
So if you know what the M1919A1 is, it’s a M24 hull open-top with two 40mm Bofors. No way APHE oneshots that, right? I mean, there simply is no way APHE has that much explosives? Wrong. There was 5 Russkie planes in the sky, with around 3 being Yak-9Ks. I spawned SPAA and knocked out an La-5 and a YaK-3 that critically killed 90% of my crew. Then A YaK-9K head-on me, I killed him and got killed by hime one-tap. And No-way some German/US/every non-Russian nation player mains SPAA, 'cause only Russkie SPAAs have HE rounds for their 14.5mm. That’s a joke too, considering how a 14.5mm roof mount from a ISU one-tapped my Vought.
Yes, I know the difference between B.R. and Rank. Thank you tho. It’s that he just said ~8 which doesn’t, tell if it is BR or Rank. I assumed 8.0 'cause who the hell brings a 4.0 plane in a 12.0 match? Of course there are exceptions like me bringing my 6.0 German lineup to 11.0 and still get assists.
Yak 9K@ BR 4.7
→ Damage: Nukes the entire turret crew
→ Plane: Nimble small figther
Ta-152 C3 @BR 6.3
→ Damage: non existing
→ Plane: Garbage with a turning radius of a bomber
Conclusion: No RusSiaN bIaS
Just had a nice match, did 3 kills with T-34-85 to later spawn Yak-9K to gather enough SP for nuke. I have died in Yak-9K only because after spawning a nuke, the AI system crashed it into the ground. When I was flying nuke plane, I have noticed that enemy have spawned one too, so I engaged in a fight with it. Later I have dropped a nuke and ended the game.
12 Frags w/the Jak-9K? Holy!
What tank is that
Gunship moment.
Loks like T29 or 34.
LOL. Can’t wait to finish US 5.3(Naval+Army+Air) to move on to USSR as part of my chally!
at least other cannon CAS have a mediocre flight performance or poor pen (P-39, P-63) the yak-9k can still dogfight , I mean sure the 45mm may be hard to hit planes with but
A- you still have your 50cal with API.
B-A little practice with your 45mil goes a long way.
C- I feel like people may be too used to the power of the Shvak 20mil cannon.
Because they gave it an absolutely busted round, that performs way better than it should compared to other similar rounds. Then gave the Yak 9k a very generous flight performance, as in it flies better than some other Yak’s which don’t have the giant cannon.
Oh, they also made the cannon super accurate, and firing it has zero impact on the plane. When IRL the entire plane came apart and the pilots would get knocked around to the point of getting concussions when shooting. Oh, and the accuracy was so horrible, it wasn’t even worth fielding.
a thing made of wood + soviet manufacture + 45mm cannon don’t mix well
Very balanced.
