Who else thinks that any other plane from 1942-1945 (Like yak-9 or 15) would be a more suiting option than Su-9 (1946) ?

There is a Yak-15 and a MiG-9, and not this rocket cringe for a minute of flight. We need to come up with suspended bombs for the MiG and Yak, and it will not destroy history so much, the Yak-15 literally did not have time a month after the war.
There are also more successful rocket planes than the Bi-1. The Bi-1 is literally the worst choice.
For example, the Tu-2 with the RD-1 rocket engine
And with the RD-1KhZ engine
What you are proposing is a mockery of the Soviets, but if the Tu-2 is an attack aircraft, the Bi-1 will go at most as an addition to it in the update to take the fighter slot, but not separately from the Tu-2 with a rocket engine.

No bomb, mediocre armament and low ammo count, very short flight duration.
It couldn’t match the jets from other factions.

If they want to add Su-9, then it would be no problem to unrealistically higher the ammo capacity.
And the same with bomb. It would make much more sense than adding a 1946 jet.
Replacing one unreality with another, isn’t it better to just let them throw in the Su-9 and be done with it? It’s not like they’d die trying to fit a 1946 plane into a WWII game for balance.
If they wouldn´t add merge, they won´t have anything to balance with jets, because they would make the only for Normandy.
