Its only my personal opinion. Would be happy getting it tho.
Btw for Krusty: i get any jak in 2 turns in my g6. They turn noticably worse than the 109. The jak3 was a bit different in this role.

One thing against the Jak.
Its russian and the russki kommunists ruined my country, killed my greatfather, and brought the other one to the gulag for 10 years.

Btw. is it just me or it really looks like an la with a piston engine?

Germany with the Russians and Slovakia. Attacked my country in 1939

England and the USA, they have betrayed their allies at Yalta in 1945 ...
well! from today ...

I don't think it will ever be a "common" plane to see, but I'm sure the Yak's usage will jump up some once it is updated (Yak-3 or not).

I am thinking it is going to be a low eny plane based off of performance and war record. Looks like 5 to 10 for me.

I concur Dirt.  It will definitely be a contender in the LW main as far as performance goes.

please tell me if that is an actual WW2 skin :pray :pray :pray

Sorry its not............  those colours were were out of use (on Yaks)  by late 43. So you would find them on Yak9T's, Yak9D's, Yak1's and Yak7's

This however...............



or this



Would be more accurate IMO.

The nose spinner depicts the colours latterly chosen by the Normandie Niemen. The Lightening strike denotes that the ac flew as part of 303IAD. It was 303IAD that mostly controlled the skies above "The Battle" Operation Bagration and the subsequent capture of the Niemen between Minsk and the Baltic.

Bagration brought about the complete and utter collapse of the Whermachts Army Group Central and occurred about the same time that a (by comparison) minor incursion was made by Western Allies into Normandy.

Did anyone notice how the russians center the gunsight?

Gunsight Centering Mark on Prop.


Anyone ever seen pictures of russian fighters with a mark on the back of the prop that didn't really make sense? Be interesting to see that. Possibly an historic art feature Waffel could use for our russian fighters.

No more so than the Yak-9, and they aren't too common. IMO, its mostly because the Yak doesn't offer extermes of preformance in any one area.

It can do a bit of everything with reasonable preformance, but that leaves it vulnerable to any plane on the extreme end of the spectrum.

109K and 190D will BnZ/slash attack this thing to death, or will try to entice him into a looping match, which they know they have an edge in.

Spits and Niki's will out turn it, and tear it to shreads.

P-47's and P-51's will dive on it from 10k.


IMO, its vulnerable to extremes in preformance, which is why it is relativly rare. The same can be said of the C205, the La-5, etc. Both are deadly aircraft when they get even 1/2 a chance, but they don't usually see that chance against an equal opponent in a high preformance aircraft.

I voted for the Yak

The Yakovlev Yak-3 (Russian: Як-3)

Yakety yak (don't talk back)





Quote
The Yakovlev Yak-3 (Russian language: Як-3) was a World War II Soviet fighter aircraft. Robust and easy to maintain,
 
it was much liked by pilots and ground crew alike.[1] It was one of the smallest and lightest major combat fighters fielded by
 
any combatant during the war, and its high power-to-weight ratio gave it excellent performance.[2] It proved a formidable
 
dogfighter. Marcel Albert, the official top-scoring World War II French ace, who flew the Yak in USSR with the Normandie-Niémen Group,
 
considered it a superior aircraft to the P-51D Mustang and the Supermarine Spitfire.
