I think this will make it so we better learn how to fly it. :rock

this part makes perfect sense!
Check the position and altitude control valve gasoline. Altitude control lever must be in a position fully to himself, petrol tap lever in a position completely on my own.

yak3 was one of the most iconic planes of the war, it should definitely be included in this game before the glocester meteor which was nothing but a side show.
That is like the russian equivalent of this game asking if the p47 is relevant.

Hmmm, interesting to say the least.

my puter comes with a super dooper translate button.
I hope we get the Yak3 . It'll be fun fly i bet

Yak-3 wasn't really "iconic". Entered the show too late, and was too similar to another plane for it to be quite "iconic".

Right, forgot about those.

I suspect they have already started work on the next aircraft. IIRC, the B-29 didn't come too long after the poll considering how long it must have taken to model,

I gotta say it... Screw the Yak, I want my beaufighter! :aok
All the Best...

I keep voting Yak 3 purely for nostalgic reasons. It was one of my favourite rides in Fighter Ace. Amazing E retention, good mid-alt speed and a HUGE rudder that would flip you in mid air. We also had a squaddie who owns one (USMC_YakAce), so they carry a significance for our crew.

sorry, was wiping the drool off my keyboard.
hoping we get the yak this time around!
-
I'd prefer the Yak over the Me 410 because it seems likely HTC would update the whole Yak line at the same time. Maybe give us a Yak 1 to go with the 3, 9U and 9T. The Yak 1 would be very useful from an early Eastern Front scenario POV.
-
As I've said before......the Yak-3 is the illegitimate love child of the Yak-9 and Spit IX. I need it!

Ideally the Yak1 (105P) of 40/41 and the Yak1 (105PF) of 42/43 the latter sometimes refered to as the Yak1b the former sometimes equipped with both rocket rails or bomb racks.
However the Yak most present during the battle of Kursk was the Yak7B

+1 voted yak needs the update
-
Yak-7 of some sort would be nice too. Remember, the Yak is to the VVS what the Spitfire is to the RAF and the Bf109 is the Luftwaffe and coverage of the type should be similar.

My PC translates automatically I forget that at times when I am looking at foreign sites. Sorry.
-
I really like the look of the yak-3 but with again the light ammo load what would make it anymore appealing than the yak-9? I'll give her a go if added but wont like most be my main ride.
-
Me-410.... Just saying :bolt:.
-
Yak-3 will be a blast to fly. Cant wait! :O
-
Why wasn't there an option of "Just make 'em both already!" :bhead
I voted for the Yak.

Ill log in right now to vote Yak already
darn hope that powered hub gets here soon! my addiction is itching!

Guys, yak will be a slightly more manuverable, slightly better climbing Yak-9

I dont know if it is a histroical scheme.
But I want it. :rock
-
I have flown both the Yak-3 and the P-51 in real life. I personally like the Yak better. Mind you the Yak I flew had an Allison in it, and the gear was a pain in the butt, but I did like it better than the P-51. I also never got above about 10000 feet where the 51 really shined, and the Yak was built for. I will be voting for the Yak.
-

I don't know about the yellow on the tail, but it seems pretty standard fare. Even the tail isn't out of ordinary, I just don't know if the markings are historical or just made up.
It's nothing we don't see already, by the way. If you flew the Yaks much you'd notice that :P

If those pictures Krusty posted are not a reason to vote yak I don't know what is? Hitech needs to lock Waffle in a room for a few weeks and perform his 3d magic on the whole yak line up, the latest 3D models are ridiculously good can't wait to see how the Yaks turn out.
-
It will have the same speed and cannon load as a yak9u, will turn 10% tighter than a 109G6, and have a fuel duration in the 27-28 minute range based on 2x fuel burn in the MAs.
IMO it's one of those that really doesn't fill much of a need. Nice, yes. Rounds out the planeset a bit, yet. Will it see much use? No more so than the sporadic Yak9U use we already see. Honestly, how often do you see a Yak in-game?
-
Used to see them fairly regularly. I always enjoyed seeing them, not too hot in the verticle preformance :airplane:.
-
Now that you mention it... I do recall they used to have a minor presence, but a noticable one. Over a year back. Then they kind of fell out of favor. I suppose that's just the whimsy of the LWA environment? All rides wax and wane in popularity.
-
Seems to be so. They WERE more common back about a year, year and a half ago. They seemed to be kind of a niche aircraft, IMO. Fairly fast, particularly on the deck, yet with good manuverability. If I had to guess, most of the crowd drifted towards planes closer to one end of the spectrum or the other.
Kind of reminds me of the 110G. They were really popular for missions about 2-3 years back, then they kind of went through a period of relative disuse, and their numbers were starting to recover when I left.

I don't think there were any green and black Yak3s. Everything was grey by then.

One thing against the Jak.
Its russian and the russki kommunists ruined my country, killed my greatfather, and brought the other one to the gulag for 10 years.
Btw. is it just me or it really looks like an la with a piston engine?

If we allowed misdeeds by the nations that built and used these things to bar us from flying the simulated ones, are there any that we'd be allowed to use with a clean conscience?
I can certainly understand your personal preferences in regards to that, though.
-
Its only my personal opinion. Would be happy getting it tho.
Btw for Krusty: i get any jak in 2 turns in my g6. They turn noticably worse than the 109. The jak3 was a bit different in this role.

Germany with the Russians and Slovakia. Attacked my country in 1939
England and the USA, they have betrayed their allies at Yalta in 1945 ...
well! from today ...
Fly only Italian fighters :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :bolt:
-
I don't think it will ever be a "common" plane to see, but I'm sure the Yak's usage will jump up some once it is updated (Yak-3 or not).
-
I am thinking it is going to be a low eny plane based off of performance and war record. Looks like 5 to 10 for me.
-
According to some on the 410 thread the 410 also carried a yak3 as armament lol

I concur Dirt. It will definitely be a contender in the LW main as far as performance goes.

Sorry its not............ those colours were were out of use (on Yaks) by late 43. So you would find them on Yak9T's, Yak9D's, Yak1's and Yak7's

Would be more accurate IMO.
The nose spinner depicts the colours latterly chosen by the Normandie Niemen. The Lightening strike denotes that the ac flew as part of 303IAD. It was 303IAD that mostly controlled the skies above "The Battle" Operation Bagration and the subsequent capture of the Niemen between Minsk and the Baltic.
Bagration brought about the complete and utter collapse of the Whermachts Army Group Central and occurred about the same time that a (by comparison) minor incursion was made by Western Allies into Normandy.

Did anyone notice how the russians center the gunsight?
Gunsight Centering Mark on Prop.

Anyone ever seen pictures of russian fighters with a mark on the back of the prop that didn't really make sense? Be interesting to see that. Possibly an historic art feature Waffel could use for our russian fighters.

-

No more so than the Yak-9, and they aren't too common. IMO, its mostly because the Yak doesn't offer extermes of preformance in any one area.
It can do a bit of everything with reasonable preformance, but that leaves it vulnerable to any plane on the extreme end of the spectrum.
109K and 190D will BnZ/slash attack this thing to death, or will try to entice him into a looping match, which they know they have an edge in.
Spits and Niki's will out turn it, and tear it to shreads.
P-47's and P-51's will dive on it from 10k.
IMO, its vulnerable to extremes in preformance, which is why it is relativly rare. The same can be said of the C205, the La-5, etc. Both are deadly aircraft when they get even 1/2 a chance, but they don't usually see that chance against an equal opponent in a high preformance aircraft.

I voted for the Yak
The Yakovlev Yak-3 (Russian: Як-3)
Yakety yak (don't talk back)
(http://www.richard-seaman.com/Aircraft/AirShows/WanakaWarbirds/Yak3/Yak3Taxying.jpg)
The Yakovlev Yak-3 (Russian language: Як-3) was a World War II Soviet fighter aircraft. Robust and easy to maintain,
it was much liked by pilots and ground crew alike.[1] It was one of the smallest and lightest major combat fighters fielded by
any combatant during the war, and its high power-to-weight ratio gave it excellent performance.[2] It proved a formidable
dogfighter. Marcel Albert, the official top-scoring World War II French ace, who flew the Yak in USSR with the Normandie-Niémen Group,
considered it a superior aircraft to the P-51D Mustang and the Supermarine Spitfire.

you dont see the yaks much because of the ammo loadout. if you have to fight the yak9us fight your in for a great fight in any ride.
the ammo load out is not ideal for bnz or vulching. you have to win the fight using the yak's advatages against the other plane sets.
