YaK-9K: Remove it's APHE belt or move it up to 5.7 in GRB

It does have a distinct GRB and ARB BR.

3.7 in AAB, 4.0 in ARB, 4.3 in ASB

For ground,

– AAB, 4.7 GRB, 4.7 GSB

F4U-4 could prolly do with getting bumped tho.

It being at 4.3 is awfully criminal. It should share its ASB BR of 5.3 for GRB imo with its insane payload and dogfight capability as well.

Well its Gaijin. They are the only ones which may know the reasons.

Personally I blame that algorithm which is responsible for BR changes. It looks painfuly slow to trigger changes even when some are rather obvious.

Funny how this is claimed but completely ignorance of a time where germany with Tiger/Panther at 5.3. Everything is Russian this Russian that. But never on gaijin for giving more shit about low tier. You people are literally the reason why stuff take so long to be solved

Both arent even close of levels of overperforming of that thing.

What???

Back when both of them were 5.3 ? When everything else at it BR are either mid or just not on par to the Panther D/Tiger 1H ? Brub really expect a chode T34 or an M4 to fight against way undertiered vehicle. Yeah sure , average. More reason to why stuff are not gonna get fixed because Russian biased.

As a sov main I can agree it is too op (tho I do not use cas). The amount of frustration when playing other nations againsts the sovs and getting my tank deleted out of nowhere is insurmountable.

Move to 5.7 or reduce flight characteristics, keep aphe and INCREASE its DISPERSION.

It needs to be uptiered, it’s UFO FM corrected, lose the APHE as there’s no documentation that it ever actually flew with it loaded AND increase shot dispersion for the belts it does actually use.

When the Tiger 1H was 5.3 a lot of stuff stayed in low BRs aswell. IS-1 and Jumbo 75 for example. And they are far from be undertiered. And Panther D is 5.3 a is just a good tank,i never experimented any kind pf problem when i face it.
So yeah, they are not comparable. Please stop with these silly comparisions.

Yeah…It has no prob carrying 2 100lbs bombs. I killed bf109 Ks in that thing WITH the BOMBS still attached.

So much that every 1 out of 4-5 hits really hit. EVEN so, it has 30 shots so if 1 shot kills a tank than no prob it gets 6 kills still.

IMO T-34-85’s not bad against Panthers. And the KV’s do nice facing panzer IVs. I understand ur frustration, but i doubt gaijin listens to us anyways.

And the Jumbo used to be 4.7.

this thing must already be the CAS with the best stats of all the game, it is also difficult to deal with for the AA because it has the maneuverability of a UFO, all the community agrees that this horrible thing needs some kind of nerf but gaijin seems to be ignoring the issue, nothing strange about this russian cope simulator, if this plane was in the japanese tree it would be 7.0.

The Yak-9K is problematic as-is and does need a fix…but that is likely delayed by the top tier fixation and the incessant whining about people howling “Soviets this, Russians that” instead of “this is broken and it’s fix it!

You’ll find that if there was a German vehicle like the Yak-9K around, many of the people complaining now (especially citing bias) would be adoring it and insisting all was well. They’re not coming forward because it’s a balance issue…

Personal attacks i love it ahahaha.

I stop playing in 2018/19 and i returned to the game in Feb. so looks like you are a bit confused.

It won’t work because its potent enough at 6.7 and since it’s a super prop it rivals the Me262 Narwhal in every way

Decompress them, and the entire 5.0 to 8.0 br range. 8.0 tanks should not face ww2 heavies with chemical rounds

Totally agree. rank 3 to 5 is brutally compresed but looks like Gaijijn is to focused in top tier do a decompresion in mid ranks.
