Title: Yak 3
Post by: FireDrgn on January 22, 2010, 11:32:55 AM
Nuff said.... :devil


Does any one know if the yak 3 would be a complete new plane model or can it be done like the p47m?

Yak 9

And uhhh, gotta say no. More insignificant than the Pe-8.

Yak 3 entered service 1944, so it is a late war bird.  More or less signifigant than a PE-8?  Who knows, who cares?  Let's have both! :aok

Yak-3 indeed looks different than a Yak-9, but looks very similar to the 9U (no 'chin' oil cooler).  However, the Yak-3 has slightly better forward visibility, and a smaller airframe.  So there is no doubt that it would require a new 3d model.

Slower than the Yak-9U.  The Yak-3 is nothing special.

I've got enough information on the Yak-3 to snap the main spar on a Pe-8.  Most of it is in Russian, though.

This isn't...

Experimental prop...doesn't count...  :neener:


Might be slower than the Yak9 but it could maneuver very well and at lower alt it was formidable...until it got hit.

If you remember the list. I think the Yak 3 has a chance of making it before the other yaks.... I would settle for the g55  tho. :devil

I have flown a newly manifactured yak 3 with an Allison 1710.  IT was a dream to fly, hard to start when it was hot, and hard to see out of on Takeoff and on Final, but it was fun to fly.

   After meeting the new fighter during the mighty Kursk battle in the summer of 1943 the Luftwaffe recognized it had met its match.  Indeed by 1944 a general directive had gone out to Luftwaffe units on the Eastern Front to "avoid combat below 5000m with Yakovlev fighters lacking an oil cooler under the nose"!  To show what the Yak - 3 could do when bravely handled, despite it's armament- which was trivial compared with that of the German fighters- on 14 July 1944 a force of 18 met 30 Luftwaffe fighters and destroyed 15 for the loss of one Yak - 3.  Small wonder that, offered all available Soviet, British, or American fighters, the Normandie-Niemen Group changed from the Yak - 9 to the Yak - 3 and scored the last 99 of their 273 victories on these machines.   :airplane:
