yes? i have been destroy them all the time, the problem is that they have a really thick roof (40mm is kinda too much).
You either say that they have thick roof or that You destroyed them because one contradicts the other.

It’s kinda pointless to reply to @Flanker_Thunder but here I go:
The Hs 129 is big, slow, underpowered and has two engines, which it needs to stay airborne.
The Yak-9K is much faster, nimbler, smaller and has only one engine as target.
In the Hs 129 you get one or two passes over the battlefield until you’re so slow that any vehicle starts to become a danger by just shooting rounds in your general direction.
God forbid there’s a .50cal GMC around.
Speed and climb rate not only make it more difficult to get hit but you can also react much quicker to what is happening and get more opportunities to attack.
An SPAA is shooting at a friendly?
You can quickly reverse your turn and swoop in.
A Hs 129 can‘t react like that because it’s slow and accelerates slowly.
It’s also an easier target since it can’t make diving attacks like a Yak-9K can, which can stay fast and outside SPAA effective range until it spots a target to engage.

how can it be contradictory that i say they have thick roof but i have destroyed them?
i didn’t say “they have an unpenetrable roof”, please read what i’m writing.
that only applies to Alvis.

not really.
while having a weaker cannon that needs careful aiming to actually destroy a target, and u’re limited to hit roofs.
ok?
while having a better cannon that can one shot everything from the side, not limited to dive over it’s targets and hit the roof.
while being way more tanky and having, as i already said like 4 times, a better cannon that outranges the NS-45 by a huge margine.
Because what that has to do with the discussion then if Yak-9K can strill destroy them with ease?

what i mean is that it’s harder to destroy german tanks due to their thicker roof with 40mm of armor.
NS-45 has 59mm at 10m, 48mm at 500m and 40mm at 500m 30º. that means u must almost dive 90º over a Tiger II/Jagdtiger to actually pen it’s roof, and since it’s a huge target it makes it difficult to one shot.
It is really not when using russian 45mm.
I think that is more of a skill issue on Your side.

You can look up my stats in Yak-9K and Yak-9UT done only in GRB.

4.8 for u with 230 battles vs. 2.8 for me with 32 battles.
we aren’t too far from each other if at least we keep in mind u played it for more time.
the last time u played Yak-9K u actually ended up doing worse than me in more matches.
and i just played Yak-9K to farm SL wagers cuz i needed some money to buy the Mi-24A.
Why are the pfp different
statshark’s bug then, my bad.
still way more matches than me, so it’s a bit reasonable that u have better K/D after playing with it much longer than me.
I don’t really know.
It is rather normal that pepoples K/D gets more stable and lower after more games than other way around,

and tbh, i didn’t play the Yak-9K since i unlocked it years ago when i was researching planes in the USSR TT.
i have improved quite a lot since the last time i played with it and that’s why my stats are still somehow trash with it, i didn’t touch it for a long time.
The only thing better about the BK 75 is the penetration.
The NS-45 has better RoF and ammo capacity.
Not to mention it’s on a much better airframe.
The advantage of killing tanks from the side or even the front is negated by being only able to do these kinds of attacks. And you are much more vulnerable while doing so.
The Hs 129 can be shot down by 1.0 planes and 1.0/1.3 SPAA, simply because it’s so slow and killing one engine or damaging both is enough to bring it down.
As well as tanks just using their coax MGs.
The massive buff to explosive ammo also didn’t help the Hs 129 in the surviability deptartment.
So they are simple not comparable in combat effectiveness, at their current BRs.

now u want to discuss that or what?
You know what?
I’m too tired for discussing things with people who are talking total nonsense from the beginning and even admit that.
