katkatman 3 Posted January 31 Just to say, the way you keeping us informed is really nice, I wished more devellopers acted like you, it makes us (me at least) trust in your work/products. Thanks you for this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danziger 2405 Posted January 31 I haven't had time to play recently but as soon as this Yak drops I will be making some time. I really like the way the artists are getting so much more detailed with the textures and normal maps. Not only are the tyre treads visible but you can see the bump of the cord inside the rubber running around the tyre in between the treads. The rivets and screws are not all perfect and uniform. Some of the panels are dented and deformed in places. It looks very realistic. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juri_JS 1473 Posted January 31 Was the Yak-9T used in the Kuban area too during the later stages of the campaign or maybe during Kerch-Eltigen Operation? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[RBRI]Khaela 22 Posted January 31 Could we get a picture with the Yak 9 and 9t next to each other, so we can start learning to spot the difference? Need to know your targets you know~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danielprates 511 Posted January 31 I am amazed at how quickly the hurri+yak9 pack is progressing. Looks like it is going to be released soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diggun 927 Posted January 31 Does the replacement of wooden for metal spars etc mean we can dive her faster before experiencing what SpaceX refer to as a rapid unscheduled disassembly? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or more generally the performance difference between them and the yak-1B, from what I can see there very similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need to know your targets you know~ On the Yak-9 the cockpit is roughly aligned with the radiator at the bottom there, on the 9T (and later M, U) it's shuffled a little further back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No105_Swoose 41 Posted January 31 Question for @BlackSix: Similar to my question about the Hurricane, can you tell us what units you currently plan to place the Yak-9 and Yak-9T in Single Player Career Mode? Thanks for any information. I have pre-ordered the Yak-9/Yak-9T collector planes and am really looking forward to them. Of all the VVS and Lend-Lease fighters in the game, I find the Yak series the easiest to fly and get the most enjoyment from flying them. Keep up the great work!

Fortunately, he already has: I am beyond excited for the Yak-9 as it was one of my favourite mounts in the original IL-2. I am curious, however, about the ring and bead gunsight. That's different! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlitzPig_EL 2432 Posted January 31 (edited) I'm guessing that a more modern reflector type gun sight will be a modification. I am very interested in if the steel wing spar, and other construction changes from the Yak 7 series, will make for higher dive speed limitations. And for those still in the dark about the Yak9 vs. the Yak1 series... The 1 was a lighter constructed airframe, that eventually led to the Yak 3 series. The 7 was a heavier constructed airframe initially designed as a flight trainer, it went on to be the base of the Yak 9 series, which were heavier in construction than the 1 and 3 series aircraft. The 1b and 9 look superficially similar, but are different in internal construction methods. They are different airframes, and will have different handling characteristics. And to further muddy the waters, here is their release timeline: 1~7~9~3. 👀 Edited January 31 by BlitzPig_EL 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for any information. Yak-9, historical regiments: 15 IAP - May 16 - June 16, 1943 43 IAP - May 2-31, 1943 Yak-9T: 157 IAP - July 11 - August 26, 1943 - unhistorical regiment for the Kuban, this unit took part in the Kursk battle at this time. Since you asked me here not to place Yak-9T in any historical regiment, we added to the career new 157 IAP. This regiment also will have Hurricanes in the BoM career. 3 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FarflungWanderer 68 Posted January 31 The Yak looks like a beautiful bird. Also glad to see it get some flight-time in the career mode! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
=FSB=HandyNasty 154 Posted January 31 5 minutes ago, HerrBree said: It eventually got replaced by a more sophisticated one that was painted onto the windscreen Russian crosshair technology was unparallelled. The windscreen-painted crosshair evolved further into scratching crosshairs on the glasses of special goggles for pilots. It culminated in tests of scratching crosshairs on the cornea of pilots during the cold war, which showed results so extra-ordinary that the method was abandoned as to give opposing pilots at least some chance. Back to the Yak-9's, will the 9T have the choice between HE and AP ammo? 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

III/JG52_Al-Azraq 50 Posted January 31 Looking great! I have pre-ordered this, Yak 9T and Hurricane but honestly the plane I'm looking forward the most is the Hurricane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
616Sqn_Johnny-Red 240 Posted January 31 Beautiful work on a beautiful plane. The level of detail here shows just how high the bar has been raised: I can almost feel that surface detail - The Yak-1 was the first kite I could fly online with any hope of surviving. It's great to see this historic and iconic aircraft line being given more substance. Also, furhter to @Diggun's question, does anyone know if the dive speed will be improved by that stiffened wing? It's the only time a get tense flying the Yak. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
