in 4.12 compare - weight 2870 kg (ok), turn time - 19 sec (17.5 in RL), like heavy yak-7b with 3030 kg, climb - 17.16 m/s (16.34 m/s in RL), speed in 4.12 little high...

why and for what yak-9 have this turn and climb, i don't know... Yak-9D have similar errors in perfomance and in weapon...


plus in game need "yak-9 1943" -

Як-9 М-105ПФ выпускали два завода: N153 - с октября 1942 г. по февраль 1943 г. (с 1-й по 3-ю серию, последний самолет - N03-51), всего 195 самолетов; и N 166-с января по август 1943 г. (с 1-й по 6-ю серию), всего 264 самолета.

because in 43 yak-9 can have better perfomance from yak-9d... yak-9d can't be "yak-9 1943", because more heavy with 320 kg of fuel...


about "overmodelled" yak-9t...


really need do correct weight - 2850-2870 kg of early yak-9 + 150 kg of weapon differences (weight give another climb), but do little better turn (18.5 sec), and this is normal yak-9t'43 of main production...

and of course, need more series=perfomances... look here -

Самолет Як-9Т N 13036 производства завода N 166 выпуска декабря 1943

Максимальная скорость у земли - 544 км/час

Максимальная скорость на 2-й границе высотности (Н=3650 м) - 603 км/час

not bad for serial yak-9t and this is not a prototype...


so, in game needed something like 3 yak-9t with 530 (first aircrafts), 537 (main production) and 544 (good quality) km/h at SL and etc...

(yak-9K, in fact=yak-9T and no any serious differences in perfomance, but in game K worse than T... maybe, i heard something like this, basis for K were planes after repair... if no, it's wrong)...
