Author Topic: Yak Drivers Raise your Hands (Read 846 times)

Ok, we have the luftwaffe contingent, we have the Pony drivers, the Chog dweebs, and the Nancy Boy Spit Drivers.

But how many of you out there actually fly the Yak as your dedicated plane?

I do, and I love it.

But I see very few Yak's in the arena, and I was curious how many of you consider yourself "Yak'sters"

So if you like to fly Yaks, and actually fly them consistently, raise your hand and join the sacred brotherhood of the Yak.

I fly the Yak pretty much along with the La-5. I would guess maybe half my fighter sorties are with one of those.

Yep I'm a Yak dweeb (or Tiffi) the only plane that fit me perfect like a glove !

To bad the only encounter we got verm was when I was doing my 1st flight in the 190A5 for about 3 month(and I don't like it

)

only a 1/2 hand-raise here because i fly other planes in the set as well but i love to fly the yak!

that cannon is killer under d<300, just hard to get in that close for long - if you do only takes about 4-5 rounds to annihilate any enemy - it takes good gunnery to survive in the yak but that is what makes it a fun ride-

Yak-man here, but for the perk points, I'd rather fly my 109G2.

I fly mainly Yak but sometimes La5. Trying to learn the F6F so I can fly off the carrier though , but so far just doing so-so in it.

Started flying the Yak about 2 months ago.
Now, it's my main ride.

I have Yak phases.

Yup, Yak for me too, as long as I don't intend to do any damage to ground targets when I'll take the Typhoon instead. My gunnery is bag though, part of my reason for flying the Yak is to try and improve it.

I'll tell you this much, those VVS GIAP guys fly the La5 and the Yak, and they smoke people.

If I see the GIAP in the buffer and La5s low, I watch my runs carefully.

Santa, I fly them all, always have, always will!

Incidently, my best K/D ratio is in none other than the P51D...gee, I wonder why?

I fly the Yak almost exclusively now.

I find no problems getting in close (d300 or less) and shooting, the yak's performance seems to be geared just towards that

. I also like the fact that only a pony can run me down.. and if it does it sure as hell will have to bleed a lot of E to catch me in those long turn fights

*raises both hands* ALL HAIL the YAK!
