Yak bugs/inconsistencies?

I'd like to see Yak fuel tank gauges in the correct position. But more than that I'd like to see Yak fuel tank gauges. Kinda feel stupid when flying around and waiting for the "AWW, now there is not enough fuel to fly home anymore" light. Or taking home a nearly full fuel tank, who knows?

since what you're seeing from the cockpit is the plane's external model and skin.

Um... Not entirely. The cockpit model can certainly include parts of the external of the plane. Otherwise clipping and occlusion of the polygons of the external LOD would become a huge issue.

I think the biggest issue with the Yaks, especially the Yak-9, is the super thick and opaque armor glass and gunsight edge; they really cut into the forward view. Someone once posted a video with glass simulating the armored glass of a fw-190 cockpit to show why the glass edge should not be opaque in-game.
