lol the hurri is good but 2 prbs
1. its too slow realy for my liking
2. it can be out turned by certain faster aircraft (all later ones though)

U guys are awesome! Question for ya. The Yak 3 and the Yak 9t appear to fly the same to me. With the exception of firing the guns. The 9t vibrates all over the place. The big gun probably, but the armament says its a ony a 20 30 mm. I was thinking of using the 3 in snowy conditions and the 9t in summer conditions. The camo doesn't work the other way around. So is the 9t as good as the 3? And is the supposed bigger cannon a plus on the 9? Or just screw it and fly somethen else.

The 'T' at the end of Yak-9T stands for Tank. So it's meant for ground attack mostly, but can be used to good effect against enemy bombers. The Yak-3, and the Yak-9T are two totally different planes. First, both are very different sizes. The Yak-9T is much larger all around than the Yak-3 which is the smallest Yak in WW2. The Yak-1 is also bigger, but mainly just wing width etc.

Anyway, the Yak-9T has actually a 37mm Nudelman-Suranov cannon. NOT a 20mm ShVAK like the Yak-1b and Yak-3 does. So if you're going to use a Yak in snowy conditions, use the Yak-3, and if you want to use summer conditions, still use the Yak-3!! lol (But if weather conditions don't matter to you, then use the fast, small, and nimble Yak-3. It's twin 12.7 UBS Berezin and 20mm ShVAK cannon are deadly accurate if you're good with the sights and plane in general.)

Seriously though, if you want to use camouflage to your advantage, use the Yak-1b rather the Yak-9T unless you're fighting bombers and slower planes that can't take such a heavy beating from a 37mm cannon.

Thanks!!! I'm looking for "my bird" and haven't found it yet. Its coming down to the Yak, LA, or 109. I love the p47 and continue to try and have success with it. I love the looks, sound and feel of that Yak3. Its a beauty! The LAs are fast and very stable, but the lack of firepower combined with low ammo count does not appeal. The 109s are, to me, the baddest looking plane of the bunch. And those guns!!! A little heavy, but those guns! I'll take your advice on the Yak and keep tryin.
