IRL these fighters had a special system where flaps would automatically deploy at a certain G level. A mercury switch held a small drop of mercury inside of a glass vial and when you would pull hard the mercury would slide down the tube and cross the gap between two wires that deployed the flap solenoids.

Oh, and i've almost forgot to point out that the J6K1 is an insanely good grinder, both for SL and RP. When i didn't have a premium account yet, i used it to grind SL, as i would go broke all the time and without playing J6K1 i wouldn't be able to buy new vehicles. As i've already said, i've grinded most of the Japanese tree with it, IN LESS THEN 200 MATCHES, WITHOUT A PREMIUM ACCOUNT. I just find it insane. Soviet air tree took me about 400 hours to grind out, Japanese tree just about 100, maybe even less, and all that thanks to J6K1.

I always wondered what your thoughts on this thing was, it's probably one of the most popular Japanese planes I face at 6.0 matchmaking. What do you think of the Yak-15P? I personally feel like they are the bane of the P-51H, but tbf that's mostly when the Mustang starts off in a worse position.
@jacobneedham656311 ай бұрын
I am by no means as good as Defyn but I have 200 battles in the Yak-15p. You’re pretty much accurate with that, if the P-51h starts above the Yak-15p there is almost nothing the yak can do except try to fly in a straight line away, because the yak rips so early it can’t dive away effectively from almost anything(it rips at 750 kmh ias.) however if the yak starts above the p51 and the p51 doesn’t have any altitude to dive with, the p51 is likely going to have a bad time.

Bit of Google. There's a chart/table out there somewhere on the Internet or buried in the gaijin forums. Tbh tho most of them are roughly in the same ballpark and you aren't losing much if you're only a little off. I tend to climb at ~135kts indicated. Optimal climb speed for most props is within 10 or so of that which is close enough for me. Saves me from having to Google before every match or memorise the optimal climb speed of like 20 different planes
