I'm just wondering if we could fire ratos when already in 450mph at 25k...

We're getting the most crappy version, which is typical anymore when it comes to the VVS in AH, the Yak-9T.

Notice that it has the chin mounted radiator, which is indicative of the Yak-9D and previous versions, and the protruding cannon barrel in the hub. Hence, the Yak-9T.

Funked, you notice the Ta152 factual errors in the SimHQ story too?

No I just skimmed it Verm.  I have a feeling they got the screenshots last night and put that article up as quickly as possible in order to scoop the other sites.

No, but guided by the influence of C-Stoff fumes, they might try to return to the field and capture it for the "Forces of BOOM!"

Dou you have the preformance of the Yak9T ?(I'm at work cannot check ...)
I was really happy to see a Yak 9UT but since it's a Yak9T and my memory is flawed ...

Yak9 is my most feared aircraft followed by the LA5.

They do anything better and we have the same top speed on deck.

I agree Frenchy.  Been flying the Yak-9 alot this tour.  The one plane it doesn't really have any problems with is the P-47 (down low).  It was definately more challenging with an F4u-1D vs P-47 low.

The only real advantage the 47 has is a higher dive speed.

Yak-9T is basically a Yak-9D less 150kg of fuel, and the NS-37, of course.  The cockpit was relocated a little over 15 inches(0.4m) back to make room for the cannon.  This shifted CoG slightly to the rear, benefiting pitch-up maneuvers.  Top speed was 371mph at 4000m, climb rate of 5.5min. to 5000m.  Incidently, a one second burst mass from the -9T exceeded a Fw 190A-8 by 1.09 times.  As for performance characteristics, the -9T was at its best from 3000m, down.

Verm

What are the factual errors you refer to regarding the Ta152?

I didn't write the piece. It sounds OK to me...I can't see anything that jumps right off the page at me.
