37mm go bonk

Wiki

The Yakovlev Yak-9 is a single-engine, single-seat multipurpose fighter aircraft used by the Soviet Union and its allies during World War II and the early Cold War. It was a development of the robust and successful Yak-7B fighter, which was based in turn on the tandem-seat advanced trainer known as the Yak-7UTI. The Yak-9 started arriving in Soviet fighter regiments in late 1942 and played a major role in retaking air superiority from the Luftwaffe's new Focke-Wulf Fw 190 and Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighters during the Battle of Kursk in summer 1943.

Notes

VR friendly, but not every button is labelled as it is very crammed cockpit.
Quite mobile friendly, a few of these can be spawned without lagging on my potato device, good for dogfights.
Another ace plane, and I realised this was my 4th soviet ww2 era aircraft in a row, don't worry, I will make something modern now.

Hope you are all having a wonderful start to 2026! Happy flying!
