Spacecat:” pretend your an idiot.”
Me: Simple enough.
jokes on you, I dont need to pretend
LMAO
That’s what I was implying
memento mori
its pretend to be an idiot not be an idiot
Yaks, the plane that no matter what some how has enough energy to catch you
Swedish are even worse with that
Yak-3s maintain Energy really well. Sometimes it’s not a good thing
@@alecritchie5669 for sure, i mean my go to for dealing with yaks is to bait them into a rolling scissors and have them over shoot. Its a hard plane to deal with though if the pilot is competent and it gets the jump on you
@@shatteredskies8292 Rolling Scissors dont work if the Yak pilot is competent ( comming from a competent Yak-3 pilot lmao )
@@shatteredskies8292 Also since it doesnt lose energy you can rip very easily even if you pull out of a dive
Instructions unclear, accidentally put 3000 more people in gulag
hate to see it 😔
@@SpaceCatOfficial It's 3,000 extra food for the staving people of the USSR though!

Post 1940 incompatible patch
always had the worst trouble playing the yak line. now i understand why - i was playing it like a 109.
That's why I like Yaks: they're a mix of energy and turn fights, also Yak-3 do be kinda cute
Same, I was mostly climbing an Boom and Zooming in the Yak-3 since I found that play style more enjoyable (also why I started Germany, might also try 'Murica), hopefully this will help me win Stalin's forgiveness, or at the least shorter gulag time.
@@beezyo3042 same to be honest, I really enjoy Yak-3, but I'm a sucker for a good turnfight, so I've been more into Spitfires recently, I find F Mk.IX the most interesting (earlier ones are easier + aesthetics of Mk.IX just hit the spot for me)
I learned the same way but in the yak 1b
@@beezyo3042 same mate, german planes fit me like a glove, give me a spitfire, yak, and a zero, and I get issues
intro is my frame rate in air

Oh dear, dear. I hope you enjoy your stay in console peasant Hell.
Bro, I'm playing with laptop
Kept getting about 10 FPS in the *LOBBY*
@@oneofmanyparadoxfans5447 Theres consoles better than some peoples PCs you know? especially after this new engine
Is this amateur hour? GET ON MY LEVEL I CAN'T EVEN RUN THE GAME!
1.) Feel like a god
2.) Get bullied by Swedish planes
3.) Repeat
Alternatively, you can get bullied by the combined forces of the German, Italian, and Japanese air force in a single match.
Sulphurous
Oh god japan. Zeros. So many zeros
@@sulphurous2656 or you can get bullied by every single nation in the game
Dude basically the only good thing about swedish planes is their firepower just don't let them get their guns on target
@@TeeBagger They have insane climh rates and energy retention wtf u talking about
How to use the yak-3
Step 1: you don't need to do anything komrad, let's stalin guide us. )))))))
you're telling me i spent a month making this video just for it all to be wrong 😔
@@SpaceCatOfficial ))))))))))
axaxaxa
@@SpaceCatOfficial no you prepare us how stalin will treat us.
Teacher: What is the best form of energy available to humans?
Me: The sun's energy
Teacher: Then why did you write Yak-3
Me:
enemies: nooo you can outclimb, outurn, outaccelarate and outenergy me all in one plane
my yak3: hehe yak go vroom
@John Conquest the insane high acceleration of the Yak-3 makes it even worse, but when you're on the deck, most of the time, your opponent can't do much against you.
@John Conquest yes, true. you'll notice i didn't put "outdive" in my post
Japan, Italy, Germany: This time there's three of us!
when i play J6K1 i dread yaks
*Laughs in Wyvern*
Every time I play the Yak, there always is someone complaining on how a wooden plane bested them.
Spitfire shot my yak 3 and the wing was on fire. He left me and probably assumed i would crash. Fire died out and he did a good amount of damage on my wing (lost my aileron and flap). Still managed to fly back to the base safe. I swear the Yak's wooden material is so different lmao
just like the luftwaffe back in 1943-44-45
Even the French Yak 3 can send people to gulag, somehow bypassing 2 nations borders
I mean the french *did* bypass the borders to help soviets send people to Gulag
It's a reference to the Normandie-Niemen squadron, French fighter pilots who served on the Eastern Front. They considered the Yak-3 to be superior to both Spitfire and the P-51D Mustang. They were allowed to keep the planes they flew, and Yak-3 was used by the French Air Force post-WW2.
The french one send people to the bastille
The start of the video was so good looking, I reflexively reached for the Skip add button
what really?? thank you 🥺
@@SpaceCatOfficial yis comrade
@@SpaceCatOfficial I liked the intro. Nice shots and perfect music, but I'm not a fan of those cut images. Hurts the eyes. But those slow motion shots and ths song were perfect.
BTW. Absolutely hilarious comments. Was smiling so hard...
finally! even though I don't have it
Then start grinding for it, you definetly won't regret it. You won't get too much kills with it, as it has rather low ammo, unless you're pretty accurate, but it's a joy to fly. From the flight charasteristics, it's my favorite plane in the whole game.
You mean them?
In no premium the best for fun are the Yak-3U.
It s extremly good even now with its nerf...
@@engineermerasmus2810 Sorry, you're right. For me, the first Yak-3 at 4.0 feels the best.
@@catstopower all of them are good!
@@engineermerasmus2810 but the Normadie Niemjen camo looks just too good for me.
"Pretend you're an idiot" is my favourite way to fly
Yeah me too. Best part about it is that i don't have to pretend
"Pretend you are a idiot"
I only played ground force until this month. I don't need to act like a scrub
Yak-3U is just the ultimate hiden gem...
factual facts
With a hole shot of repair costs
@@whereisthelambsauce3908 while I think repair cost should be reworked, I never had any problems with them. Well only the G.56
@@engineermerasmus2810 I mean with which nation did you start? Bc now I play Germans and farm the SL to play Russia. I needed long to master these planes and learning them is not possible without loosing at least 100 k SL. and sometimes you r just extremely unlucky and it’s everytime a pain in the Ass as a starter to see 15 k SL just disappear.
@@whereisthelambsauce3908 Idk what nation I started with, it was 7 years ago, But i remember playing all of them from the start.... well the thre/two that were in game
Fun fact - when doing turns or loops at speeds around 250 km/hr don't be afraid to use your landing flaps . Tap your flaps since it only allows landing position by default . Using it allows you to turn your nose around at an alarming rate which helps when engaging vs turn fighters. Never keep them deployed as they create a ton of drag plus they rip really easily.
"Pretend to be an idiot"
Who said i was pretending?
I agree
Spacecat:has a good intro*
Me who only watches "how to" jonman: perhaps I treated you to harshely
Honestly, after flying the french yak 3 the best strategy I have is to never climb above 3000m and be generally aggressive. You rush the enemy at around 2000, if there's some poor fucker flying low you kill it, if there's no one keep going until the enemy see you and try to bait them into following you down to the deck where you have better performance. This gives your team a n altitude advantage assuming they know what you're doing and prepare accordingly.
The great thing about the yak-3 is that you outrun in a straight line anything you don't out turn. So if you're fighting americans and germans you force them into a turn fight. If it's Japanese and British bnz in a straight line since you have great acceleration.
The only gripes I have with the plane are that the guns are inconsistent with low ammo counts, meaning groundpounding is hard and bomber hunting inadvisable, and it doesn't like to dive, it red lines at 650kph and it reaches that mark quickly.
Other than that it's pretty good at air superiority.
Well said
Omfg, that intro was sick! and the rest is just hilarious xD Make more of these pls, seriously!
I played with you and you absolutely stomped my team in this glorious piece of soviet engineering
“Energy can always be exchanged, but never depleted.”
Air Resistance: Am I a joke to you?
I love your edits so much man, your videos have helped me a lot in war thunder an have brought me so much laughter. Thank you so much man 🙏💯
I remember trying to play the Yak line back when cannons got their massive buff (for everything but the ShVak and Hispano it felt) and it was horrible. Always had 2 109s diving on you, and if even one of them hit your plane with one cannon, it would disintegrate around you.
I think I might go back and give it another go.
Ground RB is where it's OP af. Low altitude fighting
How it is going? Still playin?
Thanks for the climb chart that actually helps a lot
Spacecat I love your videos, especially the more recent ones they've gotten alot better! One piece of advice about the belts, Soviet he rounds are the worst in the game and the FIT has more filler than the HE shell. So the best belt for 20s is default belt. And if you wanna really cause maximum damage 400m convergence default on the 20 and stealth on the 12.7s. Instant fire to any plane you touch : )
Edit the reason why default belt is better than tracer belt is because the API 20s are really good at setting fires and they have better penetration at sharp angles than the FIT she'll. So with the default belt you get the best of both worlds good pen at angles with high fire chance and most explosive filler.
A seriously underrated RUclipsr. Keep the epic content coming!
I've never been able to get into the yak series but this video has me clapping cheeks. Thanks SpaceCat!
Another advantage i found luck on with the yak 3 is stall fighting but your read of the enemy energy has to be spot on
funny gonmunism blane :DDD
egg dee
Yak 3: on fire
Me: immediately dropping speed and shutting down my engine.
DIE ANYWAY BECAUSE IT'S YAK
In yaks climb and then pick off enemies at your altitude then if someone is behind you run away and gain energy then once you have enough turn into them and get on there 6 and kill
Great video, intro editing was godlike.
The intro is from my pc when i want to play WT on higher graphic...
You forgot to mention something pretty important for players unfamiliar with soviet planes, what's in my opinion the only major drawback this plane has:
It's rip speed.
The Yak-3 has a damn good acceleration and when diving on an opponent, you can get uncomfortable close the wing snap speed of a bit over 700km/h in a matter of seconds. It hasn't killed me yet, but I saw enough players breaking this little bias machine because of that.
Good vid tho, as always.
The VK version rips at 640, it's annoying to bail on the attack all the time
@@alfredconqueror4422 685 km/h IAS rip speed for earlier wooden Yak-3 models, 720 km/h for Yak-3 VK, perhaps Yak-3U too, but I haven't flown it yet
man i always die like that
Good video! Love from Panama🇵🇦
AAAAAhahahahahah a Vy chart! FINALLY! I've never seen anything like that for WT yet, you sir are a God-send.
i'm not the creator, but glad i could help :)
Spacecat when are we going to see full length versions of these dope ass intro montages
Thank you comrade Cosmic Cat
- No WEP
- Low ammo count
- Axis teams dominating every single game
Why the heck would you even want to play soviet planes
@PoofyPandaZzz poofy you sound like you climb for the entire match, too afraid to get any kills then go onto complain about German guns or the Jumbo. Oh wait iTs nEvEr yOuR faUlt
Don't forget you'll fight the japanese at 4.3 which outclimb, outturn, and outgun you and your *only choice is running away* :)
You don’t need wep since yaks have amazing acceleration. Low ammo count is negligible since you usually have cannons which shred planes in a single burst, if you have good aim that is. Eh? The only Axis nation that I have a hard time dealing with are Japanese. G55s, 109s, and 190s aren’t a problem unless 5 of them decide to gangbang you.
I’d say soviet planes are one of the best planes out there.
@@CassiusGreen Its alot more jog casually away from the slow ass plane
@@dapperfield595 at rank 3-4 they really arent that great
This is some very nice editing
That first song, I haven’t listened to in so long oh mah gosh pogggggggg
i cant. my belligerent drunk soviet pilot keeps falling asleep when i turn. i cant level up unless i get kills and i cant get kills unless i level up.
I relate so much its so frustrating
“This is how to use the blyat (read: bitch) plane”
I love it
Make a complitation of ur recent intro's please lmao, they are so cinematic and cool, also very epic video
right now the best belts to use seem to be tracers in 12.7mm’s and default in 20mm, they are much more consistent and lethal compared to the 12.7mm air targets/20mm ground targets belts
Me watching this video realizing there is no weakness:
The intro is pretty sick man
Keep up the good work
the intro song is gold
I remember being in a spitfire, in a defensive spiral downwards with two yak-3s. I couldn’t evade them, and I couldn’t outrun them, the whole scenario lasted a minute and I got absolutely fucked
that intro made me thought this is the NEW Iplane
One of my favourite planes!
Very nice guide, comrade ;)
Yaks, the aircraft series you don't stop firing at until they break up completely, not even if you set it afire, as it will surely put it out.
Yak 3: *exist*
My Spitfire: "you were not suppose to do that"
Hell yeah, a new video
Space cat could you do a how to with the LA series? La-5, 7, 9, etc
This one was REALLY good
Literally every plane guide: Clime to high altitude 4K+
Me: okay got it
The enemy:800 take it or leave it
Why should I choose Ground Targets belt instead of AP belt for the 20mm shvaks?
I don't get the praise over this belt, the more AP rounds the better right?
Also I should say the other good ammo setup is *Ground for 12,7mm and Standart for 20mm*
HE's in soviet 20mms suck, so with the cannon you can only hope for FI-T and API, which actually damage nicely if you hit.
Love this channel

First set your indicated air speed to "ass"
Great video :)
this is an amazing plane
Finally...an informative video
I was with you in one of the games :D
I swear this plane it's an absolute monster at low altitude
Ah yes the plane that singlehandedly brought down 4 bf-109 and a g55s at the same time for me.
See, I try it like how you play it and every time I get into a game, it's like I am fighting the top aces of the war lol.
wait
I just realized that f4ub at the beginning looks like my colsair
The Corsair is my all-time favorite aircraft. That scene caused me physical pain.
"refuse to die" are we playing different yaks mine call apart like the Italian army in ww2
Yaks are very good at low.
Low Earth Orbit.
Do you have a different climb chart by chance? That one wouldn't load right, the chart loaded empty, if not then it's cool
It's a shame this review didn't come out when still flew yak 3's. Now here I am sipping vodka with my yak38-m killing harriers
Wtf this guides actually work
Zero: hehehehehehehhehehehe, boiiiii, YOU CAN'T KILL ME
Really?
love the intros
Idk i have really bad problems with the yak-3 line. Every plane outturns me and the cannons cant hit shit. Maybe i just dont understand the energy thing
JUst realized that poor Korean Corsair at the beginning
At last I can learn about this plane!
Edit: 100 octane fuel? So Russian vodka then...
could you make a video about the p40 tank? (italy, rank 2, br 3.3)
me: okay this is helpful I'm gonna try
*passes out while engaging on an enemy and gets shot down*
I swear my pilot passes out all the time in this thing
the 9 dislikes are from the american players who thought a burning yak is a dead yak then gets into a turnfight and dies
The Original terror of the skies pre G.55
You have convinced me to grind to the Yak-3's. Good thing im like 1 plane away from getting one lol
Same
But I am lacking silver lions
tracer belt is better for ShVak cannons, the fragmention rounds have more explosive mass than the HE rounds
The yak-3 the plane no one seems to be able to kill
Your back
Imo the yak 3p has tons of ammo I take into ground rib and I can normally get 3 kills in the air.
Idk why they say it has good agility, mine turns like a school bus with no wheels
Thank you. My Yak is a weapon now and f**k up the playtime of other gamers. I destroy dreams.
I managed to bait someone on to diving on me, the i realized there were 2 more enemies, i died
What TTS do You use?
your channel will make it
this man is even better than jonman productions
Yaks just dominate anything
In the vk107, should you still only climb ton5k or go as high as possible?
Climb as high as you can always and once in a fight slowly force the fight downward. You don't want to give enemies free opportunities to shoot at you
