The Yak-3 has no business being over 10 ENY.  Very forgiving and easy to fly, great performance and suspiciously durable for it's size and weight.

By far the biggest problem with the Yak3 is its durability. It regularly soaks up as much damage as a B17.

Does it need a perk? I don’t think so. Noobs have to have something to be competitive in.

So, why the Yak-3 and not the -9?  What am I missing?

Most prevalent,I guess? I do find myself questioning the Damage Model with ALL YAKS. Have trouble locking the down...like Wing Shooting Dove with a Kiddie Bow using the Plunger Tip Arrows :furious

The Yak-3 has a far superior climb rate below 15K and turns better. The Yak-9's advantage in speed is not significant until over 13K.

So the Yak-9 is basically a Russian P-51...sorta.

The 9u has longer legs, is faster, and can reach a higher terminal speed. The 3 climbs better and has a “marginal advantage in turn.

Here are some links to give an idea of how durable the wood construction of VVS fighters was and still is.

And yet the Mosquito, which uses similar but superior materials in a superior design, in AH loses enormous parts quite readily.  :headscratch:
