Why is the yak 9t br 4 while yak 9k is br3?

yak 9t and yak 9k are pretty much the same plane ecept yak 9k got 45mm cannon instead of 37. This makes it etremely effective in tank hunting but also intercepting bombers. So the my question is why is the 45mm variant 1 br lower even if its better? Wouldnt it be more logical to have them at the same br or have the 45mm variant higher? Or is this just p2w thing?

I am honestly dumbfounded how it is still br 4. The devs only response to the obvious p2w squad was giving it slight movement penalty and then calling it fair and balanced. Luckily it is para squad and it cant bring large ammo pouches but still very stupid decision

Could not be bothered to change the BR once ammo was switched but more likely they did not want to anger any previous owners by changing the BR.

Kinda suprising that they dared to revamp a premium plane for that exact reason.

Yak-9k is fine at BR3. It’s the Yak-9T that needs to be adjusted down to BR3. One of many many BR adjustments needed.

So, I have been struggling against Tiger IIs in my Yak 9T for at least a month now; meanwhile, the premium counterpart to my plane with a 45 mm cannon gets to go up against BR II and BR III tanks.

This is a certified Russian mentality moment

Not to mention yak9k has he filler that just wrecks everything.

This plane is now firmly S tier premium

Naw I really wouldn’t put it at S tier that fast as yes it can destroy tigers but the thing is made out of paper and the ammo count is really terrible since the cannon has 22 rounds lol but it’s good for its tier tho

“29” rounds, more than enough ammo to destroy every vehicle (including APCS) on the ground without rearming, still has 50 cals as backups for planes. Absolutely wrecks any vehicle/plane with as little as a single hit (about the same HE filler as the Duck 75mm). Favourable Match Making, Fast, Nimble, no natural predators… absolute monster IMO

I abused it for the first month since buff. It literally is “point, Click, delete”… Amazing.

I was thinking of creating a post like this.

Yak9-T should go BRIII (even BRII)
Cause cannon plane usually has low BR

Meanwhile any engineer 1 with AA canon in a good spot: oh yeees, another +350 points to my pocket :smiley:

Until some random dude with smg sends a burst at the plane right before it hits the ground after you critically damage it. And thus taking all 350 points away from you.
