a bunch of yaks but which ones?

[Citabria]

there is only one family of late war frontline fighters still very undermodelled graphically and forlorn. the formidable yak family.

heres my wishlist of christmas yaks.

yak1 (razorback)
yak1b (bubble canopy)

yak9d (long range)
yak9t (37mm)

yak9u/yak9ut (definitive version of the yak, aparently several armament options could possibly be incorporated into the yak9u with the yak9ut... 23mm, 37mm etc)

yak3 (smaller lighter with same engine as yak9u possibly a perk plane) mid 1944 intro

более Яковлева истребители!

Shouldn't we get at least one Yak-7 as well?

Wow, you way off:)

Yak-3P produced from April 1945 until mid-1946, armed with 3 × 20 mm Berezin B-20 cannon with 120 rounds for the middle cannon and 130 rpg for the side weapons. The three-cannon armament with full ammunition load was actually 11 kg (24 lb) lighter than that of a standard Yak-3, and the one-second burst mass of 3.52 kg (7.74 lb) was greater than that of most contemporary fighters. Starting in August 1945, all Yak-3 were produced in the Yak-3P configuration with a total of 596 built.

You could make the case it was built during War time, but didn't see combat action.

Why would you perk a Yak-3?

Wow, you way off:)

That's what relying on machine translation yields, I suppose.

The yak7b would be sweet and possibly a mig3 to help fill out the early war planeset.

Jak-3 ~ a little better turning 109F. Is the 109F a perk plane?  
Otherwise, yesss, +1 from me, along with the Tu-2 or Pe-2
The razorback jak-1 would be especially sweet.

Whilst agreeing whole heartedly with the general wish  however the GPW Yak 3 of 1944 had the earlier V105PF engine rather than the later V107 of the Yak 9U.

The Yak3 (v107) saw no service in the GPW and (despite considerable research here) no records can be found of any active in the Manchurian campaign of August 1945.

We already have the Yak-9U and T.

Yak-1 and Yak-7 would be the best use of our time if you want Russian fighter. Yak-3 would be highly simmilar to the Yak-9U in preformance.

If only for this reason

and it seems the yak 3 will sustain a tighter radius turn and accelerate better (than the 9U) from slow to medium speeds.

I love the yak, but taht cockpit setup is seriously terrible, tough to aim.

Anyone know what the reason for that square in the middle is for? Structural reinforcment? Additional armor glass, (like the big sheet in the P-38G's cocpit)? asthetic choice by the designer?

[Citabria]

when the 3d model is redone id suspect the view would be closer to that of the la5/7.

also the yak3 had no front windscreen armor just a clear view. another reason to want the yak3.
