Updated Yak-9U and -9T
« on: July 16, 2013, 11:09:59 AM »



Does the Yak-9T being an early example potentially change its performance at all?

Pyro, have the Yak flight models been tweaked or redone?

VK105PF was used throughout its life. I am not aware of any other performance upgrades throughout its production cycle.

I think HTC have missed a cheap trick re the M & DD variants.

Nice work on the 3D and skins. Obviously we are all waiting to see cockpit comparisons with the 3.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

it would seem logical.
Is there any real difference in cockpit design and setup?

Thought the same thing.  :headscratch: Maybe another variant to be added?

Nice! :)

Great job on the skins again Greebo!


Does the Yak-9T being an early example potentially change its performance at all?

I doubt that the climb/speed -performance will change. I think it's just that Greebo decided to pick an early production example for the default skin. There was much less changes done to the Yak-9T during its production than Yak-7B's for example.

The screenshots are titled "Yak-9T" instead of "Yak-9". I wonder if it will have any new load out options or if there perhaps are more variants coming. Considering the historical importance of the Yak-line, it would be quite a shame not to have Shvak-20 armed Yak-9.
