TLTeo Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 I'd take a Yak-9 over the Yak-3, since the -9 also flew in the Korean War. It would be a pretty good complement to the P51/Sabre/Mig15. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eber Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 I would prefer the WWII Yak-9U as the opponent of the german 109 and 190. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bies Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) Great classic plane. There is one problem with Yak-9 - to have any sense it would require at minimum WWII Soviet asset pack and WWII Eastern Front map. Plus preferably some Soviet AI planes like IL-2 and Tu-2. It would be huge amout of work. If it would be JUST one Yak-9 out of context, to fly fantasy scenarios only on western front map, together with US/British planes, covering US/British tanks, escorting US/British bombers - and making DCS even wider and shallower at the same time - in such case i wouldn't be interested.

Hand on heart, do you believe Soviet WWII aviation is particularly popular with most of the English speaking crowd? I don't. 2 hours ago, Seaeagle said: Less sense than it was to make the P-51 and throw it into modern jet sim.... in a Caucasus map? No, possibly a little bit more considering the German assets we have in the game. But not because the Yak is such an obviously great and safe choice, but rather because doing the Mustang at the time was, how to put it, very brave.

I'm pretty sure the Pacific theatre, Battle of Britain, Western front, Southern front... All capture the imagination of the average Westerner much more. I would guess that you haven't played WT. The whole Russian lineup is very popular with pilots and tankers all over the world. Granted, WT can hardly be called a sim, It's mostly arcade. They do have a sim mode, but it doesn't compare to DCS. Cockpit modeling and FM's leave a lot to be desired. That's why I'm over here now.

For me at least it was both. I have Ukrainian roots so I have an interest in the history of Soviet aircraft and I learned a lot just from playing WT. I'm not advocating for adding the Yak at this time. I would rather see the Pacific theatre develop with the new Marianna's map. Allied and Japanese assets air, naval and ground. To properly use the Yak we would need an Eastern Europe or western Russia map with battles centered around Stalingrad or something. I'd rather be flying Hellcats and Corsairs against Zeke's and Oscars.

I'm a bit of a Russophile- I studied Russian and converted to Orthodox Christianity. Anyhow even if that weren't the case with me I also like the early cold war period and the YAK-9 and Red military assets from the period would be nice for the MiG-15 and F-86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nipil Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 TBH, I don't believe that DCS devs would like to stretch their limited resources even further to go and play on the field of another well-established Russian WW2 air combat simulator, called after a certain attacker plane. They would have big problems competing with this another simulator in a Great Patriotic War niche. And they already are heavily invested into NW Europe and the Pacific. P.s. But if they do make it, it would be magnificent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
