Final Round of the plane vote

[Karnak]

I read it had the same engine but was a lot smaller and lighter. Other people said there would be little difference too. Am I reading up on the wrong aircraft?

This one I thought:-

The post war Yak-3 had the VK-107 like the Yak-9U.  The wartime Yak-3 had a VK-105 like the Yak-9T.  It pretty much matches the Yak-9U's performance on the less powerful engine due to its lower weight and smaller dimensions, but it doesn't gain much maneuverability from the weight savings either as its wing loading is pretty close to the Yak-9U's.

Youre wrong, Shida.

I may well be, I've only given it the once over lightly when I found out the Meteor was out.

the 30mph reverse madness on the ki wont appear on this aircraft.

If you're saying the flaps are incorrectly modelled on Aces High's Ki-84 then you are correct, but not in the direction you mean.

Also 30 m.p.h. is pushing it a little in my experience.

[PanosGR]

Whew!

There's some sense in this world after all...

+1

[Debrody]

Haha never said that.
I said, that the ki has fowler ones what gives it the ability to do that wicked reversal.
None of the planes with normal flaps can do nearly the same, so possily the Jak couldnt do it either.
Btw Bruv has a film about me and him. I did some real slow reversals there, would be curious about the speeds i did then. Forgot to switch my film on...  : (

Captain1ma, no offense meant to you, but just for general public FYI: You can pretty much rule out anything that page says as reliable. It makes a large number or errors. If it lists Mk108s as weapons options it's iffy, if it says DB603Gs it's just totally untrustworthy. It's just full of lots of mistakes.

The effort was appreciated, though.

I really know nothing about the Yak 3 but I'm not satisfied with the mismatch with what I'm being told here and what I'm reading about it. What about this story regarding 109 pilots being told not to engage a Yak with no oil cooler under 10,000 metres, or the combat reports suggesting a Luftwaffe spanking?

[vafiii]

As Steven Tyler says, "yak yak yak yak yak Ow!"

[Nr_RaVeN]

The sim needs more Russian aircraft period.....

Why a yak when we have... no migs... no laggs...  no I 153s..   

 in-spite of that I hope for the Yak3 over the other choices.

[kilz]

the ME 410 reminds me of the BF110

i am voting for the Yak3

[lyric1]

WOOOOTTT!!! Eat it jet jockies  

voting Yak in hopes that we get the 9U and 9T remodeled with it.  

[mthrockmor]

For the officianados...

Wasn't there a Me-410 version with mid-section mounted cannons that fired upward at a 60 degree angle so they could shoot down bombers from below?

Boo
