it's time we discuss the Yak3
« on: August 18, 2018, 02:03:19 PM »
the yak3 needs to be perked, with an ENY value of 5 or 10- and if you ask why then you either fly it or never flown against it, a lot of players say-(mostly victims) say it is greatly over modeled- I'm just voicing a lot of complaints about the yak3-
shoot me down and burn me up-just saying.

The Yak-3 has short legs and a light armament with very limited ammunition. It's not the fastest ride around either. If you perk the Yak-3 then you'd have to perk a whole lot of other stuff (K4, D9, 51D, 47M etc).

I've never had an issue in dealing with Yak-3s. IMHO the 9U is a superior ride, and the 9T is better for base defense in that it can deal with armour (I managed to pop my first T-34 turret last night, made 1hurless very grumpy)

The perk system is a way for HTC to introduce some interesting but otherwise unbalancing planes on a limited basis but the benefits go deeper than that. Perk planes (and vehicles) would be things like Me 262s, Ta 152s, Tempests, B-29s, Ar 234s, Tiger IIs, etc. These are interesting rides but would be very unbalancing if they were available on an unlimited basis.

Now tell me why you would like to perk the Yak-3 before the P-51D, for example:

It should definitely be a 5 eny right with the La7 and spit16.

Non perked just because of the ammo.

This plane can climb straight up beyond belief.

It can take at least 3 20mm right to the plane with little to no damage.

It's very small which makes it extremely hard to hit when you do try to shoot it. It's only weakness is long range and Ammo, which is hardly a weekness since it is a 20mm.

(Image removed from quote.)

Look at the K/D for the 190D compared to the P51. You can see how the 190D has single handedly made the fights a lot more boring in the MA because its an E flying type of plane that can extend from almost any plane at any alt.

It also has 500 cannons.

The P51 also climbs slower, has 50cals that don't do enough damage, is slow on the deck, slow excelaration and means you have to be a lot more patient regaining your alt before entering the fight.

IMO, the 190D is better suited for the MA from a fighter perspective than the P51. And I think the 190D is a big reason for the lack or slow down of fights in the MA. Run. Pick. run. Makes the 190D boring to engage. So it should be like an 7-8 eny if you ask me.

The P-51D can carry enough ords to knock down a hangar or go a long way towards sinking a carrier. The 190D can't. That extra capability seems to be included in ENY determination (which IMO it should); compare the F4U-1D which has a lower ENY than the -1A which is better at A to A combat.

I see no reason to perk any of these planes, though.
