YAK-9T Armament

[Widar]

In the hanger the "Information" description for the YAK-9T mentions that the YAK-9T has a 37mm Cannon in the nose. The "Weapon" description however lists a 20mm Cannon. Which is correct, does anybody know?

wikipedia (the internets most esteamed repository of FACT) says 37mm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakovlev_Yak-9#Variants)

So it seems safe to assume that the "Weapon" description in the BOP hanger is incorrect then and the "Information" description is correct.

Maybe have a go at some training missions with the Yak-3 and Yak-9T vs. 16 Po-2's to see if there is a noticable difference in weapon impact between those Yak's.

My reference book lists only a 20mm, for the type in general but mentions that the Yak 9-T was suitable for tank atack so I'd say 37mm.

Yak-9s were only mounted with a 37mm cannon in the nose, but were later reverted back to 20mm's. The "T" does not really mean Tank. Like the Yak-1M, the "M" stands for Moskit or Mosquito.

Its a pretty nasty weapon to have!! playing "chicken" with the yak-9..... nasty!!

The in-game Yak 9T has a 37mm cannon incorporated in the modelling... The statement about a 20mm cannon in the Encyclopedia is a misprint.
