How to kill a Yak-3 - 100% guaranteed!

Well, mostly guaranteed.

I usually dive at high speed and either dive at high speed and they either break off at some point or break their plane.

Make sure it’s not a yak9 which can out dive a pony without losing parts.

True. I was thinking Yak3 for some reason.

I cannot hit yaks or LA’s they so freakin tiny and my eyes are old as F!!!

Out turn it in the vertical and put a 30mm in it's cockpit...

Ask Hotshot..he had such an experience in his yak last night..

Here's a P51D with altitude and speed advantage getting gapped in a dive by a yak9.

Fw-190 A series can out-dive all other planes, even the ME 262 if you manage to get to terminal speed. Getting there is the hard problem, other out-accelerate it.

You need to use trim up to only to keep wings on though, when pulling up. I think 620mph was the fastest I survived, but It was more than 10 years ago so my memory is a bit hazy.

I'm not sure about the ME 163. The F6F was probably the closest in dive speed if I remember it correctly, but it hardly managed to roll at high speed.


I wish the Fw190-A9 could materialize in AH, with its TS engine, about 900-1000 were built.

I absolutely cannot hit a Yak or an LA! Like I’ve never hit one. Ever!

And they have ENDLESS E!

I think 620mph was the fastest I survived,

I seem to recall getting 608mph in a D9. Not sure if that number still holds.

With a .45 in a chute.

They make depleted uranium rounds for 1911s?

[AKKuya]

Only if you ask nicely.
