So, where is 1.03? When will it be out, I know they don't pack a lot of heat, but I used to slap spits around pretty good with the YaKs in WB.
The Veltro is growing on me, but would like to give that Yak a turn.

Hmmm, a "when"...anyone want to tell DT when? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
BTW, when you were 'slapping' spits around in WB's did you use Yak9 or 3? I never did have much success with the 9, but the 3 did real well against Spits. BTW, its the 9 being modeled here in AH.
I just pray its not Friday, I won't be in town!
<S> Downtown!

Actually Rip, we're getting the Yak-9U, not the Yak-9 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) Big difference.
The original Yak-9 is a midwar aircraft, which as you stated, is quite inferior to the Yak-3 in WB's.
The Yak-9U is a much improved version, with a more powerful engine. In fact, it should be at least the equal to, and in many cases superior to the Yak-3.
Downtown, I feel your pain... I want to fly this bird so bad that it almost hurts.

I don't know squat about the 9U, however, this statement above surprizes me, will it really turn as good as a Yak-3? Hope y'all aren't too disappointed when it comes out...

Rip, here are the stats on the Yak-3 and Yak-9U. Make your own judgement (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Note: Edited about 4 times, trying to get the spacing correct, for a side by side comparison, but no luck. Wish we had a mono spaced font (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

yak9u is better than the yak3
the ultimate yak was the yak3(107) but it was to late to see action in ww2.

2 cowl 12.7 ShKAS and one ShVAK through the spinner. With other cannon available for anti armor roles. like 23mm and higher.
I think there might have been a tri B-10 version firing 20mm ShVAK but I can't remember.
In all ammunition is quite low. 150rds for MG and 120 for 20mm I believe was standard.
-
Yep, you're right that's where my interview is at. Are you located in the Portland area yourself ? I'm really looking forward to coming out, I heard Oregon is a really nice place.
