Yak, Underestimated?

[redman555]

Is it just me or is the Yak Underestimated A LOT. I personally have been flying the 9U since I came back to AH a little over a month ago. And I love the thing, and when its under 200mph and you drop the flaps, it turns nearly as good as a spit.

Yak - 3

then you will know.....

"nearly as good as spit" doubt it

It's a really good plane except for the torque when you get at slower speeds. Not only is it very pronounced, but it's in the opposite direction of most of the planeset iirc.

Yup that why I hate yaks, spit14's, and typhoons

Ah dont even put a spit in the same list as a Yak lol. Spits a weenie plane.

Yes but the spit is just right to give people

...which is an advantage, IMHO.

Flaps? In a Yak?

yes actually, when I get in a really slow speed tight turning scissors, those low speed flaps rock.  Or if were going straight up for a stall fight, once they stall out I drop flaps and whip around on em.

There's a point where torque stops being an advantage and just becomes annoying to deal with. Imo the yak is far past that point.

not to mention the short ammo clip.

in Warbirds we have Yak-3 , its a fast plane , but clips turns into a stall much like the 190 does.

Jak is understimated huh? Can turn nearly as good as a spit?
Get a 109 g-6. It will get behind the jak in 2 turns.
Grab a spit16, worst turning spit except the 14. It will eat the g-6 in 2 turns.
Good luck with the jakitty  : )

Never had an issue shooting yaks.
