How Well Can The New Yak-141 Dogfight? | War Thunder

- Sky Guardians brings about a new end of the line jet for War Thunder, and this time for the USSR. The Soviet Yak-141, being the first supersonic VTOL to be added to the game, boasts varying degrees of highly competitive attributes.
One of those traits, some consider important, is the ability to dogfight. In this video, I test the Yak-141 with my own top-notch fighters in order to see just how well it can keep up.

UPDATE: On patch release, the Yak-141 has had 2 of its R-27ERs taken away and now can only carry 2.
As of now, the Yak can use afterburner while habing VTOL nozzle at 56%, which means it can pull extreme AoA while maintaining all of its power, moreover, it has very high TWR, which means that skilled Yak pilot cannot loose a fight, worst case scenario for Yak is kill trade. I tested it myself, and it can pull 15 G in a mach 1 turn, dumping all of its energy, then vector thrust to 50% and that's it, opponent can do nothing but extend, if possible, but then it resets the fight basically.
Guns only I would assume that someone in a 29 or something with comparably high thrust could go vertical against it. assuming that the 141 will be always trying for the 1 circle, this will force it to go defensive after a few moments.
@@rustyrobot6199 that's the point, you can't take into vertical since it accelerate in 90° climb at 400 kph and more, after 1 circle, when both planes dumped its energy, Yak will win just beacouse of superior thrust.
@@sawiszcze3878 my bet is that a 29 can out thrust it in the vertical but im not sure, havent tried. if it is the case that the 29 has more thrust overall, then it will eventually win in the vertical. also, the 16, and now the 29 are so good in 1 circle as as well, that with proper skill and a good lead turn i feel like you will be able to win most of the time.
I’ve seen several videos and it all ends the same the yak 41M is just more powerful in the thrust department it seems
I've seen it said the FM is a placeholder, let's hope so. The F16 needs more high speed aoa badly
Since the yak-141 and F-16AJ are here, guess we can have F-20 and F-23
Yak-141 is real, but not in its form, it's more like F-23, while F-20 is ready for production piece
@@hatze4120 thats good enough for gaijin as the F20 received weapons which is one of the prerequisites for adding a prototype vehicle
if/when we get to 5th gens I really hope the MiG 1.44 is considered cause that thing looks so cool
The F-20 would be nice to see in game, although I don't think it will be in the US tech tree. The plane was made for and destined for service in the Taiwanese air force, since they were export-banned from purchasing F-16's, and what led to the cancelation of the F-20 was the lift on that ban, forcing the F-20 to unfavorably compete with the F-16 for export. It will most likely be in the ROCAF line of the China tree, or (less likely) a premium/squad vehicle in the US tree
Well... one of them came out
i wish they could add a feature for air rb so that you can manage how much you pull with mouse aim kinda like what you can do with a flight stick. would make rate fighting and energy fighting alot more effecient
Try using sim setting
wow great video!
They even going to add r-77 in the future on this thing 💀
R-73 first
underrated channel
Noone really dogfights anymore..it's missile thunder baby
okayy.....what about in SimBattles?? 👀
well, VTOL aircraft are good at dogfighting since he can just swap to VTOL and do an instant turn
Well we needed new decent top jet for russians since F-14 and F-16 combo is absolutely seal clubbing right now. I expected Su-27 but ok.. will take YAK-141 instead still pretty cool aircraft.
Su-27 is way more capable in war thunder's meta than any other aircraft, it would be simply unbalanced
The yak won't change anything at top tier since it takes the same slots the mig does in a match, the F14 doesn't have that problem since its 11.7
@@colRobinOlds yeah, Su-27 is only making an appearance with the F-15 I'd imagine, since they're most analogous to one another
Just more secret documents stuff in use for this plane. Gaijin " well it broke records for Vtol planes" so it must be incredible. Never flew fully loaded or anywhere near fully wieghted for combat. Also need to see actual publications of that engine being able to use afterburner at any angle other than 0 degrees. Still a cool looking plane, though.
This is not the "yak 141" that we all know. This is a paper plane that is made to feel like the finished product that was never finished.
And I get raped with the harrier ):
So how do i beat the yak 141 in f16 AJ
bleed yak of its energy
what is his i came here to see yak141 not f16
What is AOA?
Stands for Angle of Attack, typically measured in degrees. It describes how far the nose can point away from the plane's direction of travel
@@Pilicast ok I understand it now thank you for teaching me that I appreciate it.
sky gardens?
15g turns too lol
The yak 141s fm is not complete, it refuse to believe this. Irl the 141 had a shit turn rate. The thrust vectoring should also decrease preformance with the afterburner on.
Idk devblog talked about it having a great roll rate and turn rate so who fucking knows. It also gets 4 r27er anyways so if it's a bus, it still wins
I mean, compared to the harrier it had a great turn rate. I think the best nerf would be to just not let it use afterburner in VTOL
Yak 141 in the game is not a real aircraft. Go read tge devblog
Proof that 141 had shit turn rate. For the first time I hear that 141 had shit turn rate, even wiki says that 41 had maneuverability on par with mig29 an su27. Not only that it's said that 141 was also made for close and long range maneuverable combat.
@@veryalive2563 lmao another person who doesn't understand basic physics.
F16 is one of the best Rate Fighters 😅
I dont see you using flaps on f-16 🧐
they automatically come down a bit (there’s no combat flats only takeoff or landing)
@@shminkydinky321 takeoff flaps help you regain speed; in the f16
you're just worsening its turn rate by using the flaps. you're basically cancels out the leading edge trims effect that should've helped the plane's turn rate at low speed
@@ferrous3262that’s not how that works in fact flaps hurt speed gain and increase speed bleed because they add drag
Another reason for anyone to hate the snail
another reason to love them
@@chybaegredz9682 true lol
Usa suffers
