cool. Does it match the P-51?

[ducpilotst2]

Pretty much. See my other vid with the Yak 9 and p51 fly by.

Im a IL2 1946 fanatic myself and I love YAKs and Bf109's above everything else.

Simulator is always a simulator, but it seems to be the best available. and it is a good game too.

War is that kind of shit that should never happen, but when it's been 60 years it makes a good story, an adventure.

I'm a FIN myself, and no hard feelings towards Russians, or those goshdarned Lapland torchers! (joke. Means germans.)

[DmitriyUA]

That's not true. Russian(actually we have to say Soviet)pilots with no expierience, that's what the majority of German pilots shot down. The trained and expierienced Soviet pilots were not worse than their German oppponents. Problem is that Soviet air force was in need of pilots, and thus many new,young and inexperienced Soviet pilots died because of this. And a second point,Soviet air force was not directly used to counter German fighters groups.They had to furfill other tasks, like protecting.

Actually looks a little bit P51 from the first angle.

[TheJcreg]

OK. Look! A start up is me looking at the plane, first, with the prop not moving. Not any. See, when this video started the prop was already turning around and around and around. The video was good, but I just love to see and hear a good old cold start with all the sputtering and poping and noises such as that. I'm just sayin'

[SaturnVII]

It's a good fighter, although I prefer the Lavochkin line myself. An La-7 will destroy just about anything the Germans had to offer, in the right hands of course.

This was not a "start up", engine was already running...

[Blasphemisaurusaoe3]

It could be A Yak-9U with a VK-107 engine. The U series didn't have an oil cooler under the nose.

[Engeltown]

I saw many russian products; those old and brand new. None of them was 'fantastic'. So, I simply cannot imagine Yak was 'better' than FW or Bf. I think the best side of Yak was that... it existed. Same about pilots training and skils.

[dwb345]

Its Yak9U im pretty sure, they also did not have oil cooler under the nose, but had a framed front canopy

[folke65]

This is almost certain no Yak 9 but a Yak 3. You see it because it has no oil cooler under the nose. The Yak 3 came in the late war and was much more agile than every opponent on the Axis side, because it was a light weight fighter with a strong motor, nearly half the weight of a FW190 and about 1000 Kg less than a ME109. In the hands of an experienced pilot it could fly circles around any German opponent. One of the greatest warbirds in these times.
