Yak can as it can eaisly deal with air and ground.
I can destroy Tiger II H with one ammo while others have to use bombs/rockets for it. I can maintain good anti air capability while others have to get rid of bombs/rockets to do the same.

congrats, you’re new. You seem to stuggle using props an early jets, I suggest getting better. Also please stop using the colour rating of statshark, it really is meaningless. More telling is that you are negative in most of those planes which you seem to ignore. So feel free to reply again once you actually play cas and then have a basis of what is good or broken or not. I am really not going to waste my time further arguing with someone who doesn’t play cas and gets a kill in rb 50% of the time they spawn.
I do quite fine in most props once spaded against the average sim lobby. I struggle against squads. In RB, I do worse because I hate the controls there.
Early missile jets I suck in. Early gunfighter jets don’t exist as far as sim MM is concerned (il-28 hunt or bust)

Here, yak-9k - terrible dogfighter, can’t keep up in turns, cannot pull lead, cannot reverse anything…

Now, some planes perform far better in sim than in RB.
Let’s look at RB pilots:
Also, yak-9M and not Yak-9K but…
Given that both have Klimov VK-105PF as their engine and this is their masses and spans:
Their performance is pretty close depending on fuel load taken. 9M has its center of mass shifted slightly further back so it does turn slightly better
If we accept this then wouldn’t you know it,
the yak roll rate permits Tea-rex to force one-circle and control position through superior pursuit curves.

Todays is 4.3-5.3 day in air sim. Yak-9K is absolute bottom feeder.
Enemy team had a Ki-84 Ko that amassed a 10+ kill streak, as one would expect of a Ki-84. I have foolishly tried to save my team’s mustang from it, and it accounted for one of my deaths
My deaths were:
- Me-264 who shot me after I shot its wing off
- Ki-84
- A6M5 third-party after killing a Bf109G10
- In the clip: I get kamikazed by another zero after the bf109G10 goes down.
Checking on statshark:
The bf109G10 I killed before the clip has 955 hours in a fighter
The Ki-84 2332
The Bf109G10 I rolled with 4572
BF109 from the clip:
Suffice to say, I fought people who know how to fly.
Suffice to say, this is the first time I fly yak-9K in ASB and don’t even have expert crew.
Suffice to say, this pseudo-duel that got third-partied was done in a yak-9K that lost half its tailplane and such had reduced elevator authority and increased slip.
Could the Bf109 done better? Certainly, could have went back into a climb but they saw a seriously wounded, crippled prey whose tail got blown up. Surely such can’t turn with them, can it?
Roll rate is king.

I’ve killed the Tiger 2 with the Kikka’s guns that are seen at lower BRs.
That’s a skilled shot and nothing more.
Well I can do it all the time when I see Tiger II H, same with Ferdinand, Jagdpanther etc, not to mention T34 and others
If You belive that this 45mm gun is balanced then no one can help You

It requires skill to use, and you are clearly skilled.
Skill? You mean being able to hit the big vehicle?
Lmao

Lining up a vehicle and holding down the trigger to sent 4-5 45mm rounds with little to no dispersion is certainly one tough job.
The biggest issue is actually aiming carefully to have ammo for 10 kills instead of just 5.

One is enough most of the time

If you want to keep making idiotic braindead statements like these, make sure that you are replying to something I said with regards to another of your idiotic statements. I understand english is hard for you.
Okay, so it should fight jets because it can destroy tanks?
