The yak9u is an incredible plane. If anything, it's ENY value needs to be lowered. Under 8k it's a nightmare. It can turn better than an la7, it can zoom climb as well as a G10, out-accelerates a G10, and outguns it. Basically, the 9U is the low-alt E-fighter's dream. The 9T on the other hand is garbage...

And Chris, you left out the 109F. I'm considering switching from G10's to F's, despite the obvious disadvantage I'll be giving myself

It's ENY value is too low.

The LA7 and Mustang should have an ENY value of 10... I personally don't think the Spit14 should be perked, since it's just a spit-shaped mustang. The dora should be perked, and the 152 de-perked. I think the Typhoon's ENY value is a bit too high (22 or 24, I believe?).. it should be in the neighbourhood of 15. The thing is the ultimate fighter in AH.

Give us the later-war stuka with 20mm and I'll gladly attack bases (I know it's unrelated, but hey

)

Yep, the 9U had a massively impressive 1.287 K/D ratio last tour (for comparison, the A5 had 1.597) and it was responsible for a mighty 2.7% of kills. What a monster.

And for the record, it's less heavily armed than the G10, 12.7mm mgs versus 13mm, and no 30mm option.

Methinks its ENY value is about right. That A5 on the other hand. . .

Yak9U doesn't outgun G10..
1 shvak + 1 vvs 50cal VS 2 131s + 1 151 if not 3.
MA furball is 75% at least mid-low E fighting, so 9U is excellent there, whereas 9T isn't.

on stats, D30 is the best 47 yet the "newbies" kill its stats.

uhhh the yak9U has 2x 12.7 MM in the cowl with its cannon in the nose.

even so, the G10's armament outclasses the yak's.

OK if ENY is such a big deal - then HT should have it float the same as the perk multiplier. Cept this would be based on usage as a whole like they say and not by a countries numbers.

Seems fair: If the La7 and Spit9 continue to dominate in numbers on a daily basis - then its kill value increases, thus more people will hunt them down for perks - and in the same breath, if he lands 5, he might get .5 perkies

my 2 cents

oops
the vvs 50 cal is harder hit than the US 50? and the shvak is stronger than the 151?

-ammo- · « **Reply #23 on:** February 05, 2003, 08:32:35 AM »

Evidently a certain model of the vvs 12.7 mm did produce a higher energy projectile than the browning 50, however I don't know the numbers, and I am not certain if the yak9U employed those guns.

shvak stronger than the mg151? I don't know. Both of them perform quite adequately.

moot · « **Reply #24 on:** February 05, 2003, 11:58:38 AM »

then there's still the question of 9U and G10 (151hub and no gondolas) compared firepower.

Innominate · « **Reply #25 on:** February 05, 2003, 12:03:39 PM »

The shvak is quite similar to the mg151, perhaps with a better trajectory.

the 12.7 MG's on the yak are far better than the 13mms on the 109g10. The 13mm MG's are quite weak in my experience.

Just by the look of em I'd say you are right (#5 and #3, yes?)

thanks.
