Did HTC say they'll make a Yak-9 standard (Yak-9D or M)?

Pyro commented that it'd be easy to build, since it could use the same exteriors as the Yak-9T.

However, the recent news concerning Ki-84 shows that HTC has new standards now. Probably during the next 12~24 month period all of the AH planes will be updated to that standard - thus, no go for the Yak-9M. The Yaks will get new exteriors and interiors too!

i wish for a Yak with more ammo and not be a 37mm gun version

The more common Yak 9D had its cockpit further forward than the Yak 9 T and Yak 9 M.

However adding the M would be very easy IMO and upgrading it when the Yaks are up graded would be equally easy.

Given both present Yaks are ENY 30 what would the M be ...40?..35?

What is difference between 9U and 9M?
Why is not Yak-3?

9u = monster

9m = 9t with 20mm

The 9m could stand in for the 9D.

Thx info Wotan!
9T is useless, it would be nice.
how many 20mm cannons does it have? 1 or 2?

Don't ever ask for a yak3

Can you imagine the La7 whines but ten time louder ?

armement of the 9m is (if I'm not mistaken) 1*12.7 + 1*20...

I want a Yak9UT ! (perked)

1*37mm + 2*20 mm

alltho great in performence, the yak3 is held back by his gun package, which is really weak in 1944-45 standard

Its just like the current Yak9U guns which are pretty good considetring their light nature.

Yak3 was very manuverable, but underpowered, thus it would probably be a spitv clone. Able to out turn, but not chase anything.

I thought the 3 was a later variant than the 9 and was faster than the La7. Isn't that what was used in the Korean war?

Beware there as 2 yak3

The late version is powered by a VK-105PF 1260 HP for about 2100kg far from being underpowered

That would be the Yak9 P

GRUNHERZ · « **Reply #13 on:** September 27, 2004, 11:56:55 AM »

Yak9U is faster than Yak3 and in Korea they used Yak9P which is basically a slightly modified Yak9U..

The Yak-3 is a LOT better than a Spit V. The VK-105 engined Yak-3 that was in service in 1943 to the end of the war had a maximum level speed at SL of 352 mph, maximum level speed at altitude 407 mph and an initial climb rate of 4265 fpm.

The VK-107 engined variant that was too late to see active service in the war had a maximum level speed of 447 mph.
