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?
9K to 5.0-5.3 in GRB sounds fine to me as a test run.

Hard to against SPAA but easier to against Tanks, sacrifice some firepower in air battle, sounds fair
Honestly whats confused me is how these Yaks have been in the game basically since beta, and were never really relevant before, but suddenly they have popped up and become meta for GRB.
I dont remember seeing any changes or buffs to them recently, why have they suddenly flooded the ~4.0-6.0 GRB range?
(They definitely need a nerf, all of them need serious BR revisions, the Yak3s especially are full blown UFOs)
They gave them APHE shells.
Suddenly what was fine with HVAP (kill tanks, be impotent vs planes - engine block can kill, but delayed) or HEFI (one tap planes, be impotent vs tanks) became able to one-tap tanks and planes (fuze sensitivity is weak versus wings, but if you land a hit on the engine block the target disintigrates) alike.

What’s funny is that APCR is simply worse than the 37mm AP.
Remove the filler from the APHE and a 45mm solid shot is almost as effective, other flat angles.
It’s incredible how Gaijin gives APCR such bad penetration performance that the entire point of APCR is negated.
What’s also funny is that 37mm AP also has more penetration than even 45mm APHE, while the document, which shows testing of the 45mm APHE, shows it to penetrate armor the 37mm AP-T can’t.
The NS-37 could also fire the same APCR shell as the ZSU-37, and that APCR also outperforms the 45mm APCR from the NS-45 in the game.
