YakU sortie (8 mb.)

While it is not very good sortie by any standards, and involves more luck, vulching and enemy mistakes, than good flying or gunning, I saw people asking how to fly multikill sorties, so decided to post film. May be some people will find it educational.

P.S. If link will not work, wait a bit, uploading file now.

Excellent flying Fariz!

There is a vast underground society here that frowns on posts exclaiming the virtues of the Yak.

Your walking on thin ice here Fariz..

To put it another way, I'm glad I'm not you right about now...

A word to the wise...

Just trying to help..

sounds like they should stay underground with the other chuds. the yak is good plane, far underestimated in the ma and i like that. its not that it turns well, its the massive acceleration that pulls it around the corner. exellent visability and good firepower make it a plane that you dont want to twist it up with at low alt. when i first started playing AH that was my favorite plane because it is so hard to stall due to the acceleration. beginers to the game should all fly the yak for a while. it is simple and true like all good things.

Yakolev Yak 9U is a re-badge version of the Lavochkin La-5 (or 7 i think) if you fly it carefully. Yak 9 has supperior slow turn rate than that of La-5/7.

i only fly the one with 30 or so cannon rnds, the late model yak. the yak is good plane.

Yep, Yakolev Yak-9s (especially the Yak-9T) are good and it can be deadly (with the T model) if a pilot uses "slash" attack techniques similar to the Lavochkin La-7.

bring in the yak3!

much deadlier then the Yak9

the yak9u is better performing plane the the yak3 look up the numbers. The yak 9t is not a later version of the 9u. That would be the 9ut. In the case of the Yak 3 it would be yak 3t

You see the "u" in the yak-9u is the key. "Uluchshenny"

The yak 3 evolved from the yak 1

The yak 9 series evolved from the yak 7

both the yak 3 and yak 9u retained the Klimov M-105PF engine.

The yak 9t was first refinement of the Yak-9. "T" stood for "Tyazhelowooruzheny / Heavily Armed", fitted with an NS-37 37 millimeter cannon firing through the propeller spinner. I believe the 9t is made mostly of wood.

In ah we need the yak 1, yak 7 and the yak 9 before the yak 3.

Some coments.

Yak3 and Yak9u are really close, thought Yak3 is more manuerable and climb rate is better.

Yak3T were still in prototypes when war ended. Never used frontline.

T is not "Tyazhelowooruzheny". What are your sources? All soviet sources I have says that T stands for "Tankovy", as it was initially designed as antitank attacker, thus the 37mm gun.

Both Yak9U and Yak3 used VK105PF2. Actually VK105PF was used at Yak9s. I think M105PF stands for "modificzirovany" (modified), but have not see such marking before.

Many Yak9U were build with VK-107À. They were faster and heavier than VK105PF2 planes. I still not sure which one we have in AH, but according to weight of plane and speed we probably have VK-107A one.

Umm the 37mm wasnt an at gun. Tony Williams has stated this before. It sertainly strafed light armored and soft vehicles butit was used a2a to mostly AFAIK.

Even the 37mm of the stuka with its tungsten core had a hard time killing tanks. Thats like saying the Mk 108 was only to kill bombers. Its just not correct.

The yak 9u had was better above 4000 meters and was faster at those alts. Thats one of the reasons yaks 9us were flying over berlin and yak 3s we following the front line.

IMHO the yak 9u (except for post war yaks) was the best. I dont think we will get a Yak 9 / Yak 3 because WBS has umm.

Some sources refer to it as just "Tyazhely" (heavy) and the k was "Krupnokaliberny"

* The first refinement of the Yak-9 was the "Yak-9T", where "T" stood for "Tyazhelowooruzheny / Heavily Armed", fitted with an NS-37 37 millimeter cannon firing through the propeller spinner instead of the ShVAK 20 millimeter cannon. The variant went through evaluation in early 1943 and was in field service by the spring of that year. It proved very popular, with 2,748 built.

To accommodate the cannon, the cockpit was moved 40 centimeters (1.3 feet) towards the rear. While some sources claim that the Yak-9T was designed as a close-support aircraft, it appears that the fit of the NS-37 cannon was mainly to correct the inadequate firepower that had dogged the Yak-series fighters, and the Yak-9T was primarily used for air combat. The USSR had a better machine for close support, the heavily armored Ilyushin Il-2 Shturmovik.

I am sure Tony has better sources then I do.

Start a thread in the A $ V forum titled "NS-37 - 37 millimeter cannon" I am sure Tony will be along to answer the question.
