It's just you. The Yak turns well, climbs like a rocket, has a great gun package, and goes FAST. Are you sure that you don't suck? It does take a lot more practice to fly well than it does a Spit, or it does to pick in a P-51.
is it me or is the yak9u one of the worst performing of the late war planes compared to the other late war planes.

Spit 16's are the yak's biggest threat, as it does everything the Yak does.
Anaxogoras hit the nail right on the head. in my origonal post i thought i made it clear i was speaking of
comparitive performance to other late war planes also while others feel that lack of wep is a plus i feel that
no wep is a severe limitation(acceleration) as is lack of combat flaps. been flying yak for at least a year and i could make a list of its limitations. have read widewings articles on yak and my impressions agree with his(low speed handling) i fly it only because of its excellent views and level speed. as far as other qualities a
capable fighter should have i feel it falls way short(once again compared to other late war fighters). there is a reason for everything and there is a reason and a reason why you see so few of them at least in the DA.

Wep is on full time, don't have to worry about it running out.Also, when I flew it in the MA a while back, I felt that it was a well performing plane. Also, that gun package? Very dangerous to be shot at by, but really teaches ammo conservation.
that very dangerous gun package takes a while to line up for a kill. since the ammo load is so weak i usuallyPlease explain how this is a weakness.
get nailed just lining up a shot(cant just pray and spray). another yak weakness.

It's not the yak's weakness, it's the pilots weakness.

2 20mm's and a 37mm and you'd have a bird worse than the yak9t.
How would a Yak-9U with 2x20mm and 1x37mm be worse than the Yak-9T? It's safe to say it would still outperform it in every way, despite the extra weight.
Especially when I'm within 200 when pulling the trigger. Imagine buff hunting with that Yakenstein?!
Question, what exactly do you think the difference is between the 9U and the 9T?
Adding a pair of 20mm's instead of the mg's would just make that difference worse.

To be perfectly honest, the only plane I fear when I'm in a Yak is another Yak :)
in my opinion the yak has other major drawbacks other than low ammo load:
1-lack of combat flaps
2-lack of wep
3-gunnery skills have to be exceptional to consistently get killls.
I agree.
I use my custom gunsight. If you do not use it in Yak-9U you will get no sight in the film. Just install the one below if you want to see a gunsight.

2 versions of film first uncompressed, about 6Mb, second is compressed(RAR), about 3Mb:

in my opinion the yak has other major drawbacks other than low ammo load:i take it you don't fly anything but u.s. aircraft...and late war stuff at that. a yak flown by someone good can out maneuver and shoot you down easily...don't underestimate it.

2-lack of wep

re: gunsight "invalid file" Is it me or is that link broken? I'm interested in that gunsight..can you direct me to where I can find it?
No, the plane you should really fear is a lone Yak 9T :t:salute

Hi Orbitson and friends.
There was a problem with the file, hereīs another link for download.
It's a ZIP file with 2 files, the sight itself and a [ .MIL ] file. Extract and save both to your Aces High, [ sights ] folder:

Hope this helps.
