But how hard would it be to take the 9t and make a 9m?

Quote

Yak-9M

The Yak-9M was an amalgamation of the wing and armament of the Yak-9D and the fuselage of the Yak-9T, meaning that it differered from the Yak-9D only in that it had the cockpit 40cm further back. It was produced at Factory 153 which was already making the other two variants. Other differences include a better wing surface material (after Stalin told Yakovlev pilots were afraid to fly his earlier designs after the wings stripped at high speed), canopy emergency jettison mechanism, shorter antenna wire and automatic radiator control.

With 4239 Yak-9M built, it was the most common Yak-9 variant during the war.

That's a pretty good idea. I've planned to add a 9 or 9D at some point, but moving the cockpit is a pain and I didn't think about this option. It's about the same as a 9D so it could be used as that for events.

Y'know, I think that idea is great and I think Yak-9T is almost like Yak-9M. Like this:

F4U-1A is nearly the same as F4U-1 is, but Big modification were therefore made and Birdcage was abandoned in favour of a tear drop canopy which, apart from improving visibility, placed the pilot's seat about 6 inches higher.

P-38J-15 would be ez, Yak-3, Yak-9M, Hurricane IIA, Fw 190A-7, there are a bunch that would be fairly ez to put in. Just varients of existing types.

Ju88C-6?

...as for the Yak-9D PLEASE, yes, we need a Yak that has something like a "standard" nose armament ie 20 or 23 mm.

Is it not possible to place more optional pods oder mods
to the planes ?

Example the many modifications of the german planes.
Nothing must be changed only the pods options must be
expanded.

There are many options like the R-variants and/or U-variants.
I think all other countries have modifications of the exsisting
planes we have in AH to bring in AH2.

It is only an idea. But it would help i think before we have other
planes to come in AH2.

Doesn't the yak-9u have 2 .50s and a 20mm?

Yep, but the Yak9U is a late war monster, similar performance to the Yak3.

We need a mid war "regular" Yak9.

So it can go unused like all the other early to mid war planes?

The 9M is a 9D except that it uses the 9T fuselage. The only other change would be the nose cannon (seemed an easier fix then moving the cockpit and redoing the C of G). It could be used in any event / ct set up that called for the 9D.

In fact in the Kurland setup we have 9Ts subbing for the 9M.

An FM tweak and redo the wing fuel tanks and you get a 9M.

The Yak 3 would need to be a whole new model.

All the other suggested "easy fixes" in this thread added all together ends up being real time diverted away from other things.

unused? Look around bud. MA is a second rate playground. The SEA and CT would kill for a bolstered planeset. Time to get out of the kiddie pool

Back on topic: Excellent thread

Batz what site did u use to find all this information on the yak.Pryo so u mean u r goign 2 add anothe diferent model of the yak the the 9m or the 9d or yak3?

Batz · « **Reply #14 on:** May 03, 2004, 03:00:42 PM »

Again the yak 3 would require a new model, there’s no need for the yak 3 because the 9u is as good. The yak 3 came from the yak 1 line, the yak 9 from the yak 7.

The wings are the most obvious difference.

The 9m is basically a 9D with a 9T fuselage. They have the same wing. We have a 9T. To make a 9M would require a gun adjustment and the wing fuel tank tweak (IIRC they were larger then the 9Ts and the fill cap and gauges were different). Nothing really cosmetic except the tip of the gun barrel.

HT has said no "new planes" until Ah2 is released. I assume that would include any new plane based on existing planes that would require cosmetic work.

Pyro hasn’t even said that the 9m is otw any time soon. I am sure they have other priorities atm. He has said the 9M was “a good idea” and would be “easier” then redoing the cockpit placement for a 9D.
