I found my ride after many years~ YAK rules~
« on: November 05, 2013, 01:58:11 PM »
After many years of playing this game and staying out of fighters because I never really got the hang of it I've finally found the YAK.  It turns good, has good power with no WEP, climbs good and flys well IMO.  For me it works great and suits me but may not be for everyone.  Any thoughts or opinions on the YAK ?

Small, hard to hit, very maneuverable, tough, big guns but few rounds. Best way to kill them from a P47 perspective is tag team or BnZ.

Been working my way through learning the Yak 9T this tour.  Liking it alot.  Found that staying fast and getting close when firing helps alot.  37mm=BOOM.

The Yak has always been my favorite little fighter. Small, nimble, and when it comes to learning to fight, the small number of rounds actually teaches you accuracy.

For a plywood plane. Over armored. B17's and jugs go down easier with 20 mil then Yaks do
