Wow...that's some very lucky single shot kills on those last two. Well done!

I was counting the shots and thought you would struggle to get five before running out of 37mm but you were saved by the quick kills on the final two.  

I hear people say "I don't fly the 9T because it is a ground attack aircraft and too heavy to dogfight." and I think "You are so dumb!"  People also avoided the Yak-7b for similar reasons and I love that one too.

It is a bit heavy, with fighters you really need to be careful. Later 109s and 190s are really dangerous. But the cannon is fantastic and the fun factor is amazing.

anyway to make the sight tolerable though? fun plane and fun gun.

Yes it is heavier but, apart from the climb, the difference in the performance between 1b, 9 & 9T is not that big.

 

At sea level the 9s best turn is 1.5s faster than the 1b but the 9T Still matches the 1b on the deck.   At 3000m the 9 still turns 1.5s faster than the 1b and the 9T is 1.5 slower than the 1b.   

In the climb the 9 is 2m/s better than a 9T all the way up but the 9T still climbs slightly faster than a 1b at sea level and that rises steadily to 2m/s better by the time it gets to 6000m.   

The 9 &b 9T have identical TAS at sea level and the 9 is 1kph faster at 3800m.

 

Personally,  I would rather be slightly lacking at the edges of the envelope in return for getting the kill quicker when I do get my sights on the enemy. In the real world, the majority of kills are made in surprise attacks so the critical factor is the ability to get a killing shot first time on a target that is not aware of your presence, so not evading, in the few seconds he is in range.  If you are on the receiving end of a surprise attack then the fact that, flown perfectly at the perfect corner speed, you can do a complete 360 a few seconds faster is irrelevant as is being able to climb 2m/s faster when your attacker already has a big E advantage.

That shot on the G-6 Late went straight to the cockpit.  Nice.
