Im wondering with Yak fever growing how many non-Yakkers will now become Yakkers now that the 3 is shortly to be here.

I suspect the Yak-3 will win over much of the 20 eny+ crowd. Those of us who get incredibly bored flying 51's, Spit 16s, LA7s, and other brain dead low eny aircraft. One thing the Yak-9 needed was a little bit of turn to make it even better. Just like the 9 I expect the 3 to always have at least one trait that can be exploited against any adversary.

I expect the Yak-3 will become my main ride. Dudes I so wish it was here already.

No, the ENY 20+ crowd is looking for perk farmers, or a challenge. And I highly doubt many will make the Yak their main ride, simply due to a lack of flexibility. It will dogfight like crazy within a 2 sector radius, and not much else.

Even after 6+ years, I don't have a "main" ride, unless you just want to use the plane I have the highest number of sorties in.
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.
