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

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.


Thanks to Forum Moderators for his job !!!

Whatever helps you cope man, even if you need to insult me for it.

Im not insulting you, im just saying the true. When semeone defend a extremly broken vehicle is basically for 2 resons.
1- Is biased with that nation and just want his favourite nation op at any cost.
2- Is extremly bad player and need this kind of broken vehicles for feel skill.
And looks like you have both.

As per my previous post:

It would be advised for you to understand, that your projections =/= truth

As far as i know, yak9k is not a german plane

Define “bad player” and define “skill”.

Course not. It’s a vehicle under Gaijin’s chosen nation, after all.

They either will never do anything about it or they will do something about it 1-2 years down the line after the fact. Let’s not forget that the Yak FMs are still overperforming, after all.

A player which does not have the skills comparable to others around it or the chosen sample size, since if we take a “good” inside juanito’s friend group and we take the veteran at the game juanito’s friend will come out as a bad player

In this case knowledge about the game and it’s mechanics and the ability to use them while in a match.

this mounts to a bad player having to use a vehicle that does not complement in a healthy way to the matches it gets in, due in this case, a super low skill ceiling even compared with others of it’s kind.
the yak-9k already has the advantage of being at it’s core a single engine fighter + having the yak prop incredible energy generation, retention, agility and small size. this puts it on the lead of other cannon CAS since getting detected by an SPAA/CAP means the yak-9k can just pull from the ground attack with it’s nimble and small frame.
the second problem is the APHE belt, 45mm APHE with great pen and one shoting ability since the other only plane with APHE is the HS-129 with it’s 75mm cannon pulled from the Pz IV, but that thing can barely fly let alone evade an enemy plane.
Other planes either get HVAP or AP-T
the yak-9K can be balanced, removing the questionable APHE means that players now using HVAP can exploit the Yak-9K’s flightmodel and use those precise shots to modules, placing in that jack of all trades role
A great tank buster with the ability to turn and defend it’s own from enemy planes

Gaijin refuse to rise up the Yak-9K instead or nerf the playe from any penetration.

What does it have with being “rich”?

It is a prop plane, low on B.R. and anyone can get it

I mean rich by the Yak-9K is silver maker as non premium plane. The plane has the damage like premium planes. I see these things in set up with 2 verhicles and 1 Yak-9K. Imagine this was premium verhicle people would in cry in forum about broken plane.

I’ve been on the receiving end of the Yak-9K my fair share of times. It never crossed my mind that it requires a nerf. It’s more motivation to make sure you have SPAA in your lineup.

Spaa is not enough because you need fighters to deal against this shit plane.

Why ? It’s only weapon is guns not even bombs you don’t need to be super accurate to shoot it down if it flying straight towards you.
