Even if it is as you say. They don't die easy. Also the plane does almost everything better than most planes below 15k. And if it's outclassed at something. it does something else which totally outclasses the plane that does. The eny it's set at is just not right. it's should be similar to a la7.
Umm, lets see Yak-3 has best gun package? No. Is the fastest? No (Pony Dora Typhoon 109K Jug are all faster). Best roll rate? No. Best turn rate? No.
It is a fun plane to fly.

Umm, lets see Yak-3 has best gun package? No. Is the fastest? No (Pony Dora Typhoon 109K Jug are all faster). Best roll rate? No. Best turn rate? No.The Yak-3 is a very small, light aircraft with a mediocre gun package. Most of the good Yak-3 pilots are quite timid. I don't why it is such a boogey man for so many players (but the Niki and La7 went through the same phase).It is a fun plane to fly.
Nothing has changed....4 pages of speculation and opinion...ask the right question....HiTech why is the Yak 3 at an 18 ENY?
What about this?Dynamic ENY. The more people flying a plane the lower the ENY for that plane gets.This would limit the number of the more popular planes and get people flying some of the planes that are hardly ever seen.Seems to make more sense to me then arguing over some arbitrary number assigned to a plane that could be skewed in k/d by it being popular with better or worse pilots.
Personal ENY. The more kills a player gets in a specific plane the lower the ENY for that plane for that player drops.
HiTech doesn't often weigh in on "how come" questions. Otherwise, he would be buried under an avalanche of them.
So you went on this little rant saying it's not the best at every category but it isn't certainly decent in all except guns really then compared it to the LA7 and N1K which are both what 8 ENY aircraft??? The thing shouldn't be an 18....12 at the highest 8 would be about right.
