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

Isn’t the He112A-0 kinda similar to the Yak-9K? It’s got a Pz2 gun, APHE, and UFO flight as well at a lower BR, but we all complaib about the Yak

Not even close, neither in terms of explosive filler, nor pen, nor anything else.

That’s 1.7 so of course it is. My point is it’s not just the Yak-9K that’s op at the BR, but by that logic you might as well never add fighters with big guns

This, is one of the weirdest and most absurd arguments ever.

Youve summed me up :)

Except that’s not APHE. It’s just an AP round with incendiary filler, so it has a higher chance of setting fires when hitting modules that can be set on fire, but it does not explode.

It is OP
When i say you cant counter it cause too much SPAA pressure,you cant…its simple as that,remove the APHE belt or remove the insane post pen damage

Its not the Pz II gun, its not APHE and its just 20mm, with mediocre penetration, tho due to ok-ish flight performance, at a low br where there isnt much armor in general.

The c-3604 is also quite good at 2.7, on a down tier is quite a menace.

Do you even know what your saying? It 100% is a Panzer 2 gun. Do research before you say things like this

For real? Yeah, i did my research. Its not. It originates from the same development, but its not the same.
This is my article btw. (it currently has also an update, that is not yet published. Reworking also the MG C/30 L, because after i got access to more documents, it goes even deeper, tho left it rather simple there.)

It has pretty bad flight performance and is only effective against low tier tanks.

It’s not comparable to the Yak-9K that started at 3.7 and then become the destroyer of worlds.

It’s a modified FlaK 30. So it’s a panzer 2 gun

Its not. Its not even a Flak 30, its based on the gun the Flak 30 is based on, but beyond the same mechanism type its different. It had a longer barrel and higher pressure ammo. It had a mount for the drum and different connectors, made for engine mounting.

Ok I need to do my research lmao

Then what gonna save USSR WWII BR win rate? That is good, but not too much, 9K/9UT almost the only thing we can expect to against other nations’ CAS, What rest of things does the USSR have? TU2? Il10?They are not as efficient as Alies CAS

They should correct recoil because right now recoil is too low or non existant. Recoil can easily be tested in full real controls.

Well, there is recoil that slows the plane but the plane stays perfectly stable while flying.

Which is certainly not what the stories about even the NS-37 in the Yak-9T tell.

Great take. I’ve love to see that one

Horrible idea.

This is one of the best CAS aircraft. There is also the Pe-8.
