That was the valve releasing pressure. In a fashion guaranteed to cause outrage.

I cannot verify the source, but I do believe the 3 cannon yak3p did see brief service against the Japanese in August of 1945.

Gordon & Khazonov state that none of them (596 built) saw combat.......... seems that some early production variants were tested on Oct-Nov 45.

Decided to take the Yak3 for a few sorties before work this evening and wow  :O
In 4 sorties I got 14 kills(stats page says 13?) and died once!
My one death was because I ran into someone while trying to get enough rounds into them to kill them before I pulled up :bhead

I felt like I could do nothing wrong with it.

I just wish it had more ammo/better hitting power
and maybe it is just me but it doesn't feel very stable, when trying to pull lead for the shot the nose seemed like it was bouncing around.

Cool video their Pipz <S> .
@Mitchell , I don't have the bouncing problem but can't seem to get the nose up far enough for a shot sometimes . That and just when the fighting get's good , no ammo , err.
