What's with the Yak?

[Reaper90]

I've been loving the Yak9U. Despite all the fun I was having, I was getting swiss-chessed by everything while in the P38, and can't seem to get a handle on the strengths ans weaknesses of some of the other fighters. The YAK9U seems to have the perfect combination of characteristics for my tastes.... and great visibility out of the cockpit to boot. I'm still working on my shot, so the lack of rounds for the guns is tough (I've rtb bingo ammo quite often, a couple of times last night had a bogey lined up right on the nose at less than 200 to pull the trigger and have nothing happen!!).

I've found, right now, it's the only plane my inferior skillz can furball in and not get murderized right away.

And if it can get me back to base trailing smoke with oil all over the windscreen, one aileron, no rudder, and half an elevator like it did once last night, that's my kinda bird!

Hey reaper!

Along with E management it's a great buff hunter and has a far better armored radiator than the 190's/152 rides.

In the Yak, the re-arm pad is your best friend!  The lack of taters & gas is made up by how it handles.

It also has a far better fuel burn rate at high altitude (again, a great buff hunter) than it does at low altitudes.


Good luck!

The flavor of the day.....If someone gets a few kills in a squad then all of a sudden it snowballs to the arena it eventually levels itself out,if someone gets 4 kills from their chute maybe everyone should bail out!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone else noticed an unusual Yak emergence?

All i see is the ground or the tower by getting killed by yaks (and nikies and all others )
