It’s more like a flying Lvkv 40 SPAA with a lot less ammo and a little less penetration but the ability to attack super weak top armor, and a lot lower BR.
Which is massive.

Yup.
Yeah. What I was tryna say was that the YaK-9 isn’t supposed to be this OP. Like then it becomes GOD not realistic. I know, I would complain about the crappy transmission and engine for German Tanks IF THEY ZOOMED INTO BATTLE AT 95 KM/H.
It’s Balanced Dawg, This is Gaijin Balance, this has happend to Vehicles already but this time there OP

Post more insults, show me more how you don’t have any sensible thing to say so you resort to ad hominem
It’s not like you are resorting to the highest quality of arguments other than the standard Gaijin’s hypocrisy on their ‘balacing’ environment.
Keep flagging me, It only shows the current resemblance.

Nevermind bombs are more effective, let’s just go ahead and odd strange nerfs like the engine breaking…
Should we do the same to tanks? Your abrams filter gets clogged after 1 minute of being in the desert?
Also, you’ve skipped quite the list of vehicles whom have large caliber APHE guns. The USA has one, and so does Japan, and likely more that I cannot recall as of right yet
Me: carries 18x 500lb bombs on my A1-H
The Grizzly is a jack of all trades to be honest. Has 75mm APHE M61, which is rather affective.
It’s twin engine with a very good air defense, and it flies similarly to an AD-4 in my opinion.
E.G : KH38T which isn’t even proven to exist but still ruins toptier anyway
They are not:
- With bombs You are not able to fly as well as without them. Yak doesn’t have that problem.
- Bombs are much harder to drop from large distances while it is easier to aim the 45mm
- Bombs are known for buggy damage model, 45mm is not
And many more. There is no plane in the game that gives You same capabilities with the bombs or other kind of weapons like Yak-9 with 45mm.
And are known for being easy to kill with other air units. It was already discussed in this topic

And become an easier target than even a biplane because of how incredibly fat you become with 18x 500lb bombs. How many times does it have to be discussed that the Yak-9K doesn’t suffer from bomb load, can shoot from further away and is nimble enough to keep dodging SPAA fire altogether? Get yourself a 3-4-man squad, all spawn in a Yak-9K, coordinate your attacks and watch how you can destroy the whole enemy team while even the enemy SPAAs can’t do much, but get strafed from other sides until the enemy is forced to bring out a CAP plane and the game straight up turns into a low-altitude air battle.

Key thing is maneuverability.
Yak-9 can dogfight Bf109Fs and Gs.
Duck is never gonna dogfight a hellcat and win (outside of special circumstances like already damaged, distracted and whatnot)
Multi-role capable fighters are far more potent than dedicated CAS or CAP.
(F4U-4, Hellcat, F4U-4B as well could probably do with BR bumps in GRB as a consequence. All 3 make for excellent fighters, although hellcat has conditions that it cannot fulfil while CASing due to needing at least 1-2km altitude to do its magic spirals and rolls)
Yak-9K is special in that its CAS/CAP do not negatively hinder the other because it isn’t extra mass, it isn’t extra drag and you don’t need to jettison it. It’s also nose-mounted, so convergence is not an issue (might be a me thing, but 300m convergence is what I like for 50 cals and hispanos which is kinda bad for ground-strike, while I find long-range convergences suitable for groundstrike bad for quick air kills)

Nothing to UT?
Bruh.
Nope, alas. Only prop tier aircraft that got moved in GRB in fact (from the times I play GRB these days, I also feel most american planes could also use a bump tbf).
