I'm so flying that Yak!!!!

[titanic3]

quit talkin out yer bazinga.

I've one set of He-111 in the MA since it came out. I've seen maybe 20 Ki-43 (and that's being lenient) in the MA since it came out. I've seen maybe 50 Me-410s since it came out, and I've seen maybe 10 P40s since they were reworked (not counting the day right after where everyone was trying them out), same with the C202/205s.

inb4 Lusche post usage stats. Which pales in comparison to the usual MA planes, 109s, Spits, 190s, P51, Ki84 and P38s.

Yak usage will also pale compared to spits, 51s and 38...  If you take these planes as a yardstick to measure on, almost all planes left for addition will "see no usage", just as almost all other planes that are already in game.

you'll know that the Yak 3 has a 120 round centerline cannon and twin 50's with 170rpg and this will limit its MA usage

K4 has 65 rounds, doesn't stop people from using it. I'll fly it as long as its competitive, which on paper it looks like it is.

I am weeping at my desk.  Co-workers staring...   Thank you HTC!  Beautiful.  Simply beautiful.

well on the paper the yak has ~ the same firing time than a spit 16, so we'll see how it turns out.

the way i shoot, the yaks are good for 1/2 a fight and i need to rtb.

I find it funny that when everything else was being introduced over a Yak, this would be to page 5 already with complaints.  Now that the Yak 3 and 7B are actually being introduced, the usual complainer's are quite silent.



Also, VERY NICE.   I'll fly them.

Thank god they added the Yak-7 as well, or this update would have been delayed for nothing.

kind of surprised/disappointed to not see the Yak 1 on this list but then again you'd think they'd update the Yak 9s too. Maybe we'll see more next week

they want me back
давайте, товарищи...

Yeah, 65 rounds where one will usually kill a fighter. Only fighters I've ever had to hit more than twice: P-47, F6F, 190F-8.

Used properly (and not JUST conservatively), you should run out of fuel before you run out of ammo.

[Gman]

Can somebody here or in the A and V forum post about these variants, their strengths and weaknesses etc?  Sort of a run down on armaments, speeds, turn radius/rates, etc of all the new Yaks coming, and how they compare to the current 2 Yaks?

It's quite possible that they will go with what we see, but I'm going to guess that they will be tossing up one more set of pictures for something else.

Do not fully comprehend. Yak-3 what so special about it? Its nothing more than an inferior Yak-9U
