When the plane is so brain-dead to fly, the pilots will usually get annoyed when they actually have to start thinking.

It's a very annoying plane even to fly You either win instantly or are helpless as they run

@@DEFYN Live by the cheese, die by the cheese.

I actually had a run-in with a Zero like that when I was grinding the Yak 3U. I was in the Soviet P-63 on Kalhkin Gol, and a Zero repeatedly tried to turn-fight me, but because I've played Zeroes and I know they're slow in a straight line, I'd make a pass on the enemy Zero and extend out. And everytime I'd extend out, the Zero kept saying in chat "fight me bitch". My guy, I can't turn fight you, but I can outrun you. Why wouldn't I do that? A few minutes later, he turned around to engage an La-5 and an IL-2, which I turned around to engage him. Would you believe he kept insulting me in chat for not throwing the game for him?

Not that they didn't have their historicqlly bad high speed turns, all pilots pull unrealistically high Gs which makes certain planes perform unrealistically in spite of War Thunder's respectable physics engine.

Glad to hear it! gotta release my salt too sometimes :^)

what happened is that it's not armed with shvaks

Its usually depends on the rounds you use. The best ones are the Ground Targets belt

try tracers on the shvaks, totaly different cannons.

@@maxadri1698 0.0 gonna try that, thnx for the advice

@@matiasdelafuente3106 what about my advice ;-;

Imagine the thing if it had regular AN/M2s/3s (the american 20mms), only 2 of them, in the nose.

@@samuellatta6774 it would easily be 5.7 or even 6.0. but then, you got things like the La-9 which is also insane at low alt and is also quite maneuverable.

It still breaks at 685kmh so it can't bnz zeroes. Plus it's guns deal 1/4 of the damage yak 3p guns deal. It got nerfed on this patch, can't spiral climb K4s anymore.

@@kingghidorah8106 why you spiraling a K4? You can out-turn it:

@@dela_v8227 No. K4 turns better than yak 3u. It has less drag.

Imagine if there was open chat in the war. Airforce would have to release official shit talking manuels.

Are you going to consider zooming in after watching this video?

@@jg54sayaka11 no xd

I really should've

overcommitting is a death sentence. I've been lately pulling 5 kill games solidly because of pure patience... If someone's gonna goof up, better be the enemy before you do.

Which is why I don't do it often lol

That was the OG Yak-3 we're talking about, and yep, 24 german fighters against 18 soviet with a final score of 15:1. Also Lipfert (sorry if I butchered his 2nd name) remembers how he AND his wingman couldn't shoot down a single Yak-3 when they first saw it.

So..... Outnumbered? Nothing special.

@@nebunezz_r The Soviets were outnumbered and still slaps lol

@nebunezz_r it was 24 German planes against the Russians 18

​@@nebunezz_r The soviets were outnumbered. Learn to read

Yeah that's a load of bull

@@DEFYN lol

I mean most A6M2/M3/M5 pilots just use their obvious advantage of superior turning. But they say good bye to half of their airspeed/energy and i doubt they can get that quickly. Problem is, the zero’s turning is so tight that once you even try to go back up for another BnZ run they’ll have a small window for a shot.

Well, the matter of taste. I'm complete opposite, finding WW2 prop BRs the most satisfying (and I personally have no affection towards jets at all, props>jets anytime). I came to WT after reading "Chatos are attacking!" (about soviet pilots in the war in Spain), so my interest gradually went from I-16 onto Yak-1, then 1B and later on to the Yak-3. No regrets.

M.C. 202 and M.C. 205 Ser. 1 are such an OP plane with suboptimal guns

@@martijn9568 tell me about it... bloody annoying to completely out perform someone only to spark and hit 😂

God i love that thing.. and hate it

C202 EC is very nice

@@RandomSwede-1 yeah no doubt mate, an average performing plane with good/great armament. I'd take it over the C.205 S1 80% of the time purely for the reduced kill time.

I don't think that the Yak-3u had 23mm as an option, because it never left the prototype fase. Due to wars being ended and jet engines being the future. Even the La-9 program got in trouble because of that.

@@martijn9568 I did have a 23mm, but this reduced the armament to a single gun with 60 rounds, so it wouldn't really be an improvement

@@thegenericguy8309 well one shot is enough to tear off a wing so i think it would, plus the yak 9p has a 23mm with 75 rounds so i think it could work out fine

they work "good enough"

I think they recently got buffed since they made changes to Frag rounds. Tracer belts seem to work very well vs fighters right now.

Still ass, but my friend said he had a good time with tracers

@@ltankhsd Changes to fragmentation rounds? Like more fragments, area of effect or damage...?

@@maxim2499 From August 11 notes: "Parameters relating to the resistance of an aircraft’s materials (cladding and power train) to secondary shell fragments have been fixed. Previously, aircraft and helicopters had an inflated survivability when they were under fire from anti-aircraft shells with remote detonators." I did some testing myself and it doesn't appear to only affect damage from ground based VT rounds from what I can tell. FI-T shells vs fighters seem to be much more effective both in test flights and matches. I haven't seen anyone else corroborate my observations though so I cannot say with certainty, just that in my opinion they seem to work better.

cept engine fires those are always terminal

@@kaiburns4257 actually you can put out engine fires with 0 throttle and turning off the engine

​@@lobster5364It's still pretty much RNG. 0 throttling isn't a guarantee.

I didnt even bother using the UT in air RB, instead I used it in Ground RB where I've had good success with it due to the usual planes people use.

@Abrabam Louw got all the yaks, best one is the Yak9T and Yak3 at 4.0 but they face the J2M2 and all Japan OPness, so they get slapped 9/10 times by a weeabo with a booster on it, Yak9U is really good at 4.3, climbs really great, russian 12.7s are very good but the 20 is just sht, Yak3U is another good one with the Yak3VK107 but it's a premium, Yak3U is OP below 2K, the higher you go the worse, Yak9P has 3 20s I think runs out of them fast because they aren't good, you can change one cannon for a 23 or 37 I think but I would love it if you could only carry 1 o 2 37s instead of 2 20s a 1 of them, YAK9ut is shit already overheated at 1k when climbing doesn't turn Yak rip speed, very heavy

@@stefanmichaelsenzegarra5688 Late response but, 3U is the best yak if you enjoy playing energy while also turn fighting with people. Great energy usage, only downside is the cannons which can be great with mastery.

sounds about right

I think they recently got buffed since they made changes to Frag rounds. Tracer belts seem to work very well vs fighters right now.

@@ltankhsd I dunno about you but it gets kinda old constantly having 2 guess every update what type of belt i should take

@@herehere3184 Yeah it's annoying lol.

@@herehere3184 I agree and haven't flown much Russia compared to other nations mostly because of the guns. But recently I saw the following patch notes "Parameters relating to the resistance of an aircraft’s materials (cladding and power train) to secondary shell fragments have been fixed. Previously, aircraft and helicopters had an inflated survivability when they were under fire from anti-aircraft shells with remote detonators." and it made me wonder if that was just for ground based VT type shells but in testing the 20mm cannons with FI-T shells they do seem to hit a lot harder vs fighters than they used to from testing in both test flights and normal AirRB matches. Unfortunately I haven't see anyone else corroborate it.

@@ltankhsd I still can tank all ammo from a single russian fighter...

Yeah that's why i changed it for the recent videos it was almost impossible to see x( Thanks tho :)

Got some footage but the teams are too good sadly

The best kind of salt

Cutting throttle to go slower? I don't think anyone has ever thought of that to be honest

@@DEFYN Well for some reason nobody has been doing that even when risking to rip off the wings. Like, maybe there's some hidden quirk to it that I don't know about

@@lapantony i think it mostly comes down to wasting energy. Like you can get to a lower altitude with a better chance of not ripping, but not going full speed has costed you energy. Now if you want to pull back up from the dive you won't be able to reach the altitude you would, had you been going full speed. If you are confident you won't need to then it's fine, but many times it's better to take a couple more turns to reengage but still maintain a better energy state.

Shadowplay but yeah

Stat cards don't mean anything. And just because one plane is better at rate fighting, it doesn't make it better at overall dogfighting. One plane can be amazing in a rate fight, but if the enemy is taking you into the vertical and your plane is absolute crap at energy retention or stall speed or low speed maneuvering, you're shit out of luck. Turn rate is just one facet of dogfighting. And as Defyn stated, the J2M was in a more favorable position.

For the br the yak3U But the VK doesn't lose as much power with altitude so it's not as limited

3U is lighter, so it is even faster and has even better energy generation at low alt

damn ur comment was ahead of its time

cool

Was waiting for the change to happen this patch otherwise the video instantly obsolete Il start flying it soonish

@@DEFYN They changed the flight model a little bit. It's worse I think for all 190s. Not that they were good before this.

Heard a lot about it Half the people say it's a nerf and the other half say it's better so idk what to believe at this point

@@DEFYN Compression in the dive seems worse to me.

you saw that at the start?

@@DEFYN im spading it right now tnx bra this is mine cinde of plane !

And the 'occasional' actually nice convo havent really encountered too many salt chats

Changed

you what

@@jercki72 ?? The premium La-5 in the German Techtree is what I'm referring to

@@jimmiarreltherford8464 No nothing like that. This is a yak 3 but tuned up but with shit guns.

@@rm2569 Oh alright then. Thanks

To play? No. It gets shit on by everything. F-80s, G 91, F-84s, etc. All can dump on you and not try. I was very disappointed by all the 262s in Air RB (even the up gunned premium one). The MM was painful. Maybe I just didn't fly it right (that's possible because I'm new to jets) but it was horrible trying to fly them. You could try them in Tank RB 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️ I plan too

@@jimmiarreltherford8464 I suggested 6.7 so it has a higher chance to downtier to 6.0 and its actually(believe it or not) fun to play and useable in a 6.0 game you can engage on your terms and not get dumpstered immediately by 50s.now you may be asking won't F84s and F80s still catch?no if your at height you out accelerate them and will be faster

@@ihatenothing444 I can try it the next time I play. I've never know to out accelerate a F-80 and the 84 "Rocket Boys" are just annoying lol I might've misread your question. Sorry

@@jimmiarreltherford8464 at 5000 meters plus you gourmet accelerate them also 262A1A is currently 7.0 I was asking what people thought about it being 6.7

@@ihatenothing444 Ok yeah. So I did read that wrong before hand. 5K meters huh?? I may just have to side climb then. I'll try it out. Thanks

This thing craps all over the pyrro

DEFYN yeah sure

feel free to test it out vs me Yak3 climbs better, is faster and turns about the same.

@@DEFYN Cap

cope

No

I am sorry it hurt your feelings

Cool story bro

No

Attacking the enemy physiologically is just another aspect of this great dogfight!
