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.
HE bullets hits almost as hard as 20mm. API is great too, but HE will.wreck your plane in a few hits.
APHE in the NS-45 gun is modelled as HE so yeah it gonna kill planes too.
I’m talking about 12,7mm MG. It’s excellent.
The 12.7mm UBS machine gun is well known as easily the best HMG for aircraft in the game, it has excellent fire rate, velocity and damage for a single MG.

man russia air just got the best 7.7, best 12.7, best 20, best +37 gun now.
and some people still try to keep the their cannons at their place, like dude, you still got 2 of the best things in that list
Translating this to normal language:
“I want everything that i don’t play to be nerfed”
moving up yak-9K to 5.7 is not a solution… Im using it at 5.7 and it kills everything… you can easily dive on ground targets and go defensive if enemy planes will try to attack you. Removing APHE will make it useless… I dont know, when I play germany I simply use ostwinds or G10 to counter it but it is annoyin as hell thats for sure when you need to face it and super fun when you’re using it… WT in essence

Yeah I know I meant that the 12,7mm MG is GOOD plus the 45mm APHE is modelled as HE but with a lot of pen meaning that it’s also good at one-tapping planes.

Just let the YaK-9K have HVAP like it did IRL so that it can STILL pen tanks but also require skill + many hits like other big gun planes.

Is here any reasonable way for you to insult me?
Do you have anything sensible to say that is not ad hominem?
Do i really live in your head rent free?
EDIT: Yeah, thats what i thought
