I don't think so. AFAIK the metal spar helped make some more space allowing for bigger fuel tanks in the wings compared to wooden construction. Performance wise, the metal spar made the wings more rigid, so maybe we can expect some improvement in the roll axis compared with other all wood Yaks. Also maybe the wing, due to lighter, contruction will be more fragile. Thank you 1CGS, i cannot wait to fly these Yaks. BTW any chance that you could possibly post a picture of the Yak9 taken from above showing the shape of the new wing? It is so beautiful on this plane. TY anyway!

=RvE=Windmills Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Looks great, any info on whether we'll get any specific modifications for each variant like was confirmed for the Hurricane? For instance Yak9B or 9K modifications for each. I'm somewhat holding off on purchase until I know what I'm getting.

Based on some other planes that have transitioned from wood to metal spars, it means we should expect a slightly rougher ride in turbulent air. So bring a pillow for the seat unless you're a native Iron-butt Russian pilot. ?

Based on the screenshots and what's been included in other Yaks, I would say: - Mirror - Radio compass - Bombs - Reflector sight
=_=HeavenAndClouds Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Great news! When about can we expect the hurricane being finished? approx date/month... Thank you
FeuerFliegen Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 ugh.... really, $15? Change in plans- Now I can't afford this.... https://www.platinumfighters.com/yak9um 2
76IAP-Black Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Will there be also more Yak-9 versions, similar to the Hurricane?
Freycinet Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 The plane looks beautiful! Now I wonder if there is another word than "bubble canopy" when it actually isn't a real bubble-blown canopy...
Missionbug Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Excellent work as always guys, thank you very much to all involved, Yak is a beauty, not in the same way the Hurricane is but there you go. Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

Freycinet Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Thanks, you're a Trooper :-) Another question for you or others... - How much would that huge slab of armoured glass behind the pilot weigh? Looks very heavy to me. 1

Not great, but the roll and dive make them good at slashing attacks if you come from an advantage. Wish we had leading edge slats for them, though The Yak-9T is obviously a big upgrade over them Edited February 2, 2020 by =621=Samikatz 1
spitfirejoe Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 That Yak-9 looks really very nice, I am so happy that I peordered. Thanks to the team in Moscow.
76IAP-Black Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Hopefully they will build some more LaGG Versions for us, was a big fan of the early one's in the old il2 game. Slow, a bit sluggish but nice firepower 1
adler_1 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 Battle for Normandy aircraft development Why isnt the Fw190 A4 present in the upcoming add on Instead of the A6 ? The A4 was the main FW190 model present from 1941 to D Day all along the channel coast in France used by JG2 and JG26 . The A6 was mainly in Holland . Please reconsider your list adding the A4 1 2

adler_1 Posted February 7, 2020 Posted February 7, 2020 the map will allow cross channel missions such as Rubarb and Circus interdiction missions on the french coast from 1941 onwards , the Spitfire VB " Polish RAF sqn's " versus the newly arrived A4 . We will use the A3 template for A 4 skins for JG2 JG26 and JG3 . A good historical addition . 1
VampireNZ Posted March 29, 2020 Posted March 29, 2020 Yak-9T ordered! Would be pretty awesome if the mods included the 45mm 'upgrade'. 'Yak-9T modified with a 45mm NS-45 cannon with 29 rounds and a distinctive muzzle brake to deal with the massive recoil. Firing the cannon at speeds below 350 km/h (220 mph) caused dramatic loss of control and tossed the pilot back and forth in the cockpit; however, accurate shooting was possible at higher speeds and in 2–3 round bursts. The recoil also caused numerous oil and coolant leaks. The heavy cannon installation degraded performance, even more so at high altitudes, sufficiently to relegating the Yak-9K to be used as a heavy fighter and resulting in the need for a fighter escort of Yak-3s' As described, not particularly useful - but I reckon it would be a whole lot of fun nonetheless!
