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

According to russian fanboys is just a skill issue…

Wow, it’s almost like a hyper agile Soviet UFO with a laser accurate Russian bias bomb launcher in its nose is an entirely separate issue from a large sluggish ground attack plane which trades all A2A capability for A2G capability.

Man, CAS haters are all the same.

SPAA is worthless against well-played CAS.

Is this actually true? Can you provide evidence?

That Tiger had the same fate as my Panther A did.

Ah ahahahahah. Average Russian mains not wanting nerfs. Like man how? Unless someone like me who actually mains SPAA they ain’t gonna shoot nothing down? (I use the twin 40mm Bofors on the M1919A1 and got 3 Russian planes down, one being a yaK-9K). ANd one or two good SPAA ain’t gonna kill 5 YaKs in the sky. Plus, they APHE SOMEHOW oneshots open-topped SPAAs too. At 3KM range.

Jagd27, ask Hudler to show us WHAT NON-RUSSIAN broken planes there are. Answer: NONE

Yes, i know. That is true.

It’s just what cas abusers say if anybody on this forum says something about cas.

I feel sorry for you. Best wishes.

BR 8.0 is still a long way from tier 8.

There are plenty. Depending on what BRs are we talking about.

To claim things like F6F, F4U or AD4 aren’t busted is insanity

Also Hudler

F6F-5 is Ok, not busted mate. F4U’s mid, AD-4 is good but also does not have 45mm APHE.

Mate u said “Just spawn AA” and also “that’s what CAS abusers say blah blah blah”.

Ehhhh…

I’ll just write this down just for you.

For a loooong time on this forum, me and others who advocate for tank only gamemode argue with cas abusers. People for TO posts a lot of arguments, while cas abusers do not have anything to say, and their strongest argument is “just spawn spaa” or “just spawn a plane bro”.

So, going here, seeing people complaining about plane, i simply post “just spawn spaa” comment. Do you get the irony here now?

The fuse sensitivity is ridiculous indeed. Bottom fused shells need serious decceleration for it work. No way 1mm of srmor decceerates this shell in a significsnt fashion. And yeah, the explosive power of this shell…

Tried 50mm recently in Poomer.
Shot a guy in the turret. 1 out of 3 crew ded, gun breech yellow. He shoots me I die. Basically 50mm does not kill things in 1-shot unless very lucky and it doesn’t even kill everyone in the turret o if shot from the side.

Meanwhile Yak-9k casually 1-shot my crew in a goddamn Churchill MK VII 10s after I spawned and no, ammo did not explode. If shot in the turret - sometimes hull crew survives. Sometimes.

Yak-9 K /UT 45 mm vs German 50mm.

I prefer blowing Tiger II H/Tiger II P/Jagdtiger/Ferdinand/Jagdpanther with 1 tap

Funnily enough, the Yak9k can one shot most SPAA. So unless it flies in a straight line at them it’ll likely destroy the SPAA. At best it’ll be a trade.

@Hudler “People have brought it even higher, to the 8~ range.” means BR8. Not tier 8. The ~ stands for ± some points.

Glad you edited it and cleared out the confusion.

Kinda sad that you had to crash out so much about it, but still, we reached consensus

So if you know what the M1919A1 is, it’s a M24 hull open-top with two 40mm Bofors. No way APHE oneshots that, right? I mean, there simply is no way APHE has that much explosives? Wrong. There was 5 Russkie planes in the sky, with around 3 being Yak-9Ks. I spawned SPAA and knocked out an La-5 and a YaK-3 that critically killed 90% of my crew. Then A YaK-9K head-on me, I killed him and got killed by hime one-tap. And No-way some German/US/every non-Russian nation player mains SPAA, 'cause only Russkie SPAAs have HE rounds for their 14.5mm. That’s a joke too, considering how a 14.5mm roof mount from a ISU one-tapped my Vought.
