Playing War Thunder's Most BROKEN Plane (War Thunder Yak-3 VK107)

[@WeBeStronk]

Is the Yak-3 the most broken plane in War Thunder or do you have other suggestions? Join my Discord community: discord.gg/TqrH5FSK5X

[@aleksskrbec150]

hi could you please play the Macchi C. 202

[@venular1645]

play the f4f wildcat

[@Serenchronodipity]

isnt even close to the most broken, though its up there, considering yak-3 only really started appearing in LATE '44 - early 1945 on the front so its historical adversaries were D model 190's, Ta 152's, late G-Series/K-Series 109's, Me 262's and such.... Look at F89B with the 6x20mm at 7.0 - its even got afterburners. Or Su-11. Or F86A at 8.0, it just wipes the floor with anything lower or on equal BR with it. I swear the way gaijin decides these BRs is about as effective as marking tiles in a birdcage and assigning BRs by where the Bird shits on.

[@GspotBaller]

@@Serenchronodipity tbh Yak3U is defe more broken than yak3 vk107, most fights dont happen on high altitude anyways

[@steelstallion75]

Dear @WeBeStronk, you spend a lot of time playing the most broken or most OP planes. Why don’t you change it up a bit and play one of the most awful excuses for a warplane it has ever been my displeasure to fly, the Dewoitine D.520. I have recently been grinding some low tier French planes and I need someone to confirm my misery. This plane is slow, turns like a bus, the armament is near non-existent. It’s mediocre to awful in many ways in comparison to BF-109s and most other planes at 3.0 BR. It would be a real challenge if you could manage to get an Ace with it in at least one match.

[@radicaljellyfish4435]

Not sure how good the Yak’s performance really was in WWII, although most sources say it was an amazing climber, but my biggest issue with the Yak’s is how their 20mm cannons one tap 100% of the time despite having less explosive mass than most other nations in game. They also have incredible resistant to any form of damage. Their neutral fuel balancing system is almost guaranteed to put out fires, and your 20mm’s magically spark off half the time.

[@kevinwhite-ku2pm]

russian bias, thats all it is.

[@Kulykul]

Hey, sorry for replying so late, but I mostly agree except for one thing. Maybe the VK107 is different, but the basic Yak-3 is not putting out any fires whatever you do. I am currently playing it and one thing is clear. I can't think of a single occasion where I put out a fire without losing a wing. That is the one whing I hate about this. It kills fast but it is killed even faster by almost anything

[@tjohns11]

This plane acts like it’s in arcade mode compared to all the other planes lol

[@Bf109F-4lover]

My friend wanted to get the Yak-3 because I always avoid them, he got it, second game he played, 4 kills for me, 3 for him.

[@thecanadiantankcommander8673]

The Seafire LF Mk III is based on Spitfire Mk V model but fitted with the Merlin 55M with a four bladed propeller and obviously being converted for carrier operations.

[@TheCodMineMan]

Remember like 8 years ago when the Yak3u/p was legitimately broken? Good times

[@WeBeStronk]

Remember when the Vampire had the MiG-15 FM for a month?

[@ozan1234561]

Yak-3 casually outclimbing the f8f-1, THE FASTEST CLIMBING PROP FIGHTER ON EARTH Like, yak-3 is slightly lighter but f8f literally has twice the horsepower, bigger wings and a prop thats as big as the yak itself Gaijin probably read a russian passage about "yak-3 climbs like a rocket" and legit gave it the thrust of a rocketdyne F1

[@Янус_Ырт]

"Slightly" Man, bearcat is 1.5 times heavier, besides Yak-3 having way less drag. Also, AFAIK fastest climbing ww2 prop was tempest mk.5

[@ozan1234561]

@@Янус_Ырт still f8f has a 10 times smaller takeoff run and climbs to the same altitude in half the time a yak-3 does while having a higher service altitude Fully loaded, tempest beats f8f because of its huge fuel load but minimum fuel with only 50 cals f8f has an impressive 32m/s climb rate which no piston prop could achieve

[@leeham6230]

​@@ozan1234561Nah, Yak 3U would outclimb easily. You're just wrong.

[@Янус_Ырт]

@@ozan1234561 takeoff run has nothing to do with climbing

[@Янус_Ырт]

@@ozan1234561 also any source on "half the time to same alt"? Which alt? Yak-3 are best suited to fly under 4KMs, so they climb faster near the ground, up to 4 KMs. I am sure F8F will get to 10KMs faster, but low alt performance is different

[@BrinklyWollox]

As you mentioned in game 6, Tracers is the best choice for the 20mm belt. FI-T shells contain more HE filler than HEF shells (6.36g vs 5.8g TNT equivalent) and the Tracers belt doesn't use anything else.

[@JonathanLeaver]

I started playing these after your vid, just to see, and you know what I realized? The Russian planes are basically using the Arcade flight models in RB. I was doing some crazy flying in the Tu-2S that should not have been possible. Got as many kills as the P-59 on our team. Which is nuts!

[@gillesmaesii7752]

I think i speak for the whole community that livestreams would be SO nice! To see you in action real time would be awesome!

Absolutely great fights that are entertaining and to learn from. This aircraft is far more forgiving for errors than others. Streaming sounds like a great idea seeing the community go crazy in the sky or an army of these aircraft to inflict fear lol

[@bananomet4052]

I completely despise Yak-3´s, especially the Yak-3u. 9:00 I love how a P-51H is diving at you from 2km above, goes vertical, you make a 180 degree loop and somehow still end up with more energy than him and with guns on target before he even finishes the maneuver. I hear Yak3 engine, I gtfo. The only planes I managed to deal with them reliably are the American premium Spitfire and Ta-152H. They are broken AF. P-51H already feels OP at 6.3 and these Yaks are better than it! They should be 6.3-6.7 unironically.

[@IEappy]

Yea p51h performance is legendary a good pilot probably could've won that

[@TwixSvK]

Thats because the p-51 player is a noob. If he kept flying straight with shallow climb he would be fine.

[@Mah-hu7pb]

Keep it up man!

[@mrcoolkidgaming7089]

I literally knew that you'd get the kill on the p51 mustang player when he tried to outrun you in that stall climb 9:45

[@juanel2742]

I love yak-3 players because they always are so confident, wich makes them easy kills most of the times, but yeah it's broken af. Also hornet video please? I really enjoyed the mosquito video.

[@korymullen7066]

McChicken was me as the interceptor in the first game talking about bomber crews blasting chief keef. I didn’t realize WeBe was on my team until the end, I was so happy.

[@MrLunchHour2]

Back when I played war thunder long ago the yak 9t was the broken fighter. My friends and I used to call them fridge launchers. When in reality they would blow engines on takeoffs

[@WeBeStronk]

Yup likewise, the 9T was the original doom cannon alongside the terror that was the Yer-2

[@jjfgaming1137]

i mainly use the yak-3 if im running low on silver lions. or if im just having a really bad losing streak

[@LordFlashHeart_]

should try its more disgusting bigger brother the yak 3U at 5.7 because gaijin reasons when really should be the same as mustang H and yes livestreams would be epic. Get your pal Warlord on with you too and we can watch the chaos unfold.

[@KekusMagnus]

The 3U is 5.7 because while it destroys every prop, it reeeeally struggles with early jets. It also has lackluster guns with low ammo, so it struggles versus bombers too

I don't really play the soviet tech tree much as the planes don't interest me

[@erika_itsumi5141]

Bro what flight model or control's are you using, every time I fly RB it flies like a boat. Slow rolling, slow maneuvering. Try to climb you'll stall yourself. What am I doing wrong??? It looks to me your in RB with AB flight controls. With how quickly your manuving and rolling is.

[@liamboyle9199]

It is definitely one of the stronger props in game but I don't know if I would go as far to say it is the most broken.

[@artsick_art_sick]

Yeah I agree completely, the tech tree one at 4.3 is very strong too (tho it does not have WEP like the VK-107) yet I can name some props that it can loose the dogfight to off the top of my head (J2M2, VL Pyorremyrsky, A7M, Most LF Spits - these are all planes you need to engange with carefully or with an energy advantage or you will more than likely loose). It also compresses above like 550 and rips at around 650 kmh. The Yak-3U on the other hand... there is no excuse for that, its just busted

[@TwixSvK]

People be like: Why cant i beat this low alt fighter at low alt?

[@KATARACKSX]

Pulled it from an sl crate last year and I grinned half the Soviet tree with it 😝 I love my 107

[@gurumagoo]

I've been playing WT since it was World of Planes, and it's always been like this. Russian planes turn like they're on rails, climb like rockets, retain energy like laser beams, obliterate everything they hit. Their ingame performance is actually better than the posted ingame stats. The developers have given them performance far better than their historical performance, and there are all kinds of hidden modifiers in the game code.

[@elijahmontgomery4146]

I’m sure these things weren’t too shabby in real life, but Gaijin has a bad habit of ignoring how dogshit Soviet manufacturing was. Lots of other countries had some mechanical issues of some sort. But the Chinese and Soviet vehicles were riddled with them.

To win with a yak 3 all you have to do is hold s and left click lol I'm pretty sure they were actually shit planes in ww2 atleast I heard that somewhere

[@nade5557]

Pilots liked them. They were small planes with powerful engines but their drawbacks really aren't reflected in game since to my knowledge gaijin uses the "official" (propaganderised) stats for the soviet planes.

[@moto_45__]

@nade5557 I thought I saw somewhere that they had alot of mechanical issues but that could be hearsay

[@planesrkool2727]

They were maneuverable and powerful but only at lower altitudes, they saw good success mainly because the Luftwaffe was focusing majority of its fighters on the western front meaning the yak3 had easier skies in 1944, the bf109 and fw190 were better planes because of their superior climb rate but the soviets always had more aircraft

[@nade5557]

@moto_45__ ground crews liked them too, they were reliable according to Wikipedia but again not sure if the original sources are entirely accurate.

[@ushikiii]

@@nade5557 what propagaderized stats... literal bs. Yak 3 was known to do poorly above 4km, guess what, it does in game. It was a fast plane on deck, just like in game. Bf109 pilots were told to not fight yak3s down low because they held nearly every advantage over them down there. If you bring a yak3 in game above 4k, not the vk107 but just the normal yak 3, u can win against it in a dogfight even in a p51d30...
