== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was an adaptation of the Bloch MB.170 for naval purposes. After WWII, France had to use any aircraft to its disposal to rearm their air force; thus the {{Specs|name}} was created, the most important upgrade being the introduction of a single F5W torpedo, which, paired with the aircraft's long range, made it suitable for maritime patrol. The aircraft was retired in 1950 with the introduction of more modern fighter-bombers like the F6F.

It was introduced in [[Update 1.83 "Masters of the Sea"]]. Although called a "bomber", with its hard-hitting armament of two 20 mm [[MG 151/20 (20 mm)|MG 151/20]] cannons, this plane can be used in a more aggressive role as an attacker, or even a bomber interceptor. The HVAR rockets and the MG 151/20s make it a perfect counter to the much-feared [[BV 238]]. Meanwhile, for naval battles, having access to an F5W torpedo gives you the chance to destroy a single ship with a good launch, however the aircraft's large size makes it easy for enemy AA to target you and shoot you down.

'''Bomber Hunting'''

While ''technically'' a bomber and getting a bomber airspawn, it is more apt as a bomber-interceptor. Players can often find themselves able to get to enemy bombers far before friendly interceptors and air defense fighters, such as P-38s, XP-50s, P-61s, or Whirlwinds are able to get to altitude. What a player can do to dispatch of an enemy bomber is up to them; the 20mm MG 151s can adequately dispatch of enemy bombers, but players can also use the HVARs to great (and comedic) effect against bombers. The velocity of the HVARs is rather low, so a player that is unexperienced in how to aim them properly might have an issue at longer ranges, getting in close raises the chances of hitting.

'''High Altitude Fighter'''

Once the bomber threats have been neutralized, pilots often find themselves above or at the same height as enemy fighters, but the M.B.175T is no slouch. While the positioning of the offensive 20mm MG151s are unfortunate, the M.B.175T is blessed with a defensive 20mm MG 151 which can be used to devastating effect. Pilots should chose to work from the top down, focusing on the fighters that are closest relative to the pilot's height. A tactic that can work is to bait them into stalling for what they might think is an easy shot, then using the M.B.175Ts deceptively good turning ability to pounce on a stalled enemy.

F-4F KWS LV (Germany)

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German jet fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Seek & Destroy"]].

While being the ultimate Phantom in the game in terms of armament, it also occupies the highest BR for a Phantom, at 13.3. A regular matchmaker for this aircraft will include uptiers to 13.7 with aircraft that are superior in almost every metric possible. As a result of having some of the worst flight performance at top tier (second only to the [[Tornado F.3 Late]]), the F-4F KWS is not a frontline fighter, rather a support aircraft that remains in the sidelines, striking on foes that are in previous combat engagements.

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}

Being a Phantom at top tier, it has very few attributes that it can use to it's benefit. It cannot accelerate as fast as the fourth generation aircraft it often finds itself engaging with, its top speed is dwarfed by all other aircraft it meets, and it loses speed in turns quite quickly. However, it does receive the second generation of Agile Eagle slats, making it turn deceptively well before it loses all of it's airspeed.

=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Avia-Armour}}

As with every other top tier aircraft, the F-4F KWS LV has no significant amount of armor. With that being said, given the sturdiness of the Phantom airframe, it can usually tank a few rounds of other aircraft's cannons to the fuselage before sustaining fatal damage. Said damage will almost always require a withdrawal from combat and a hasty return to base, if the aircraft can get there. Also in line with Phantom flight model fashion, any damage to the wing tips will almost always prove fatal, sending the aircraft into an irrecoverable flat spin.

The F-4F KWS LV does suffer from the missile meta worse than most, given that it lacks the quantity of countermeasures compared to other fighters it faces. As a result, whenever a pilot finds themselves being fired upon by an ARH, there is little they can do if they are not close to the deck or are otherwise able to defeat a missile through notching.

== Usage in battles ==

The F-4F KWS LV is outperformed in every metric compared to the aircraft it faces. It does not have the top speed of the Su-27s or F-16s, it does not have the acceleration of the F-15s, it does not have the dogfighting capability of the JAS 39s, and it lacks the quantity of countermeasures that make quality of life good for a top tier match. As a result, the F-4F KWS LV must be played passively at the start of the game, sticking 5-10km behind the front line fighters, launching AIM-120s and turning cold. If engaged, do not attempt to bleed speed, as enemy aircrafts can bleed speed faster, though it does leave them fairly indefensible. Instead, if engaged, move towards remaining allies and call for help.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Gets access to AIM-120A and AIM-9L/I missiles
* Potent radar
* Good RWR
* Decent air-to-ground payload

'''Cons:'''

* Third-generation aircraft which almost only fights fourth-generation aircraft
* Only gets access to 90 countermeasures
* Poor handling
* Bad acceleration
* Inferior top speed compared to other aircraft
* No HMD
* Gets outclassed by every other plane it can face
* Pure CAS loadout reduces flight performance
* Stock loadout very limited

== History ==

''Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under <code><nowiki>=== In-game description ===</nowiki></code>, also if applicable).''

=== [[wt:en/news/8943-development-f-4f-kws-lv-ice-arch-phantom-en|Devblog]] ===
In the early 1980s, the Luftwaffe initiated a program to improve the combat effectiveness of the F-4F Phantom II then representing Germany's spearhead in air defense. Being launched due to delays in the development of what would eventually become the Eurofighter Typhoon, the F-4F ICE as it became known, was intended to fill this gap until the more advanced aircraft became available. The main goal of the ICE program was to extend the service life of the F-4F by modernizing its avionics and electronic equipment as well as upgrading its radar to enable the aircraft to carry the powerful AIM-120 AMRAAM missile.

The upgrade process began in October 1988 and was carried out in several stages. The first finalized aircraft under the new program were commissioned in the early 1990s. The F-4F KWS LV (ICE) would then continue its service with the Luftwaffe until 2013 before it was ultimately phased out in favor of its successor, the Eurofighter Typhoon.

{{Specs-Avia-Offensive}}

{{main|N-37 (37 mm)|B-20S (20 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 1 x 37 mm N-37 cannon, nose-mounted (25 rpg)
* 2 x 20 mm B-20S cannons, nose-mounted (100 rpg = 200 total)

The Yak-3T's armament is similar to that of the [[Yak-9P]], but is unable to change out the N-37 for a B-20M or NS-23 and has a lower rpg than the Yak-9P. The B-20S has a faster fire rate than other Russian 20s, so it requires a bit more patience and less trigger time, but are devastating when they hit. However, players will soon realize that the velocity of these guns leave much to be desired, so engaging aircraft in distances at or closer to 600m is recommended, given their poor ballistics.

The best belt for the B-20S is the Tracers belt, which is fully FI-T. These belts are able to destroy enemy aircraft with ease, but are able to be seen fairly easily, as they are tracer belts. The N-37 belts are a bit more difficult, the Default and Armored Target belts have full tracers on their belts, whereas the Air Targets belt has one tracer every three rounds. If you want the best of both worlds, go with Default, as it has HEFI-T, HEFI-T, API-T, which is best for all round usage.

== Usage in battles ==
The Yak-3T has the performance of the Yak-3P and the weapons of the Yak-9P but with a slightly smaller ammunition pool. As such, it should be flown as a Yak-3P, prioritizing engagements below 3000m with enemies at similar or lower energy states. Engagements with unoccupied A6M/A7Ms and Spitfires is inadvisable, as they have a better climb rate, better turn radius, and great performance at the same altitudes you do.

If Manual Engine Controls (MEC) are enabled, placing the Water and Oil Radiators at 10-15% (5% on winter maps) and Propeller Pitch at 90% is advisable, given the Yak-3 series are less prone to overheating. From takeoff, gain airspeed to roughly 350kph IAS and climb at 20° until around 2500m, then change to Supercharger 2, levelling off at 3000m to 3500m. German, Japanese, and some American interceptors (P-38/XP-50) will have climbed at or higher than you, so keep an eye out for contrails.

The Yak-3Ts fantastic armament of the 2x 20mm B-20S and 1x 37mm N-37 are able to destroy enemy fighter aircraft with ease, but also allow the Yak-3T have the ability of bomber hunting, though inadvisable given the Yak-3T's inadequate performance above 4000m.

'''Engaging fighters'''

If an enemy aircraft is higher than you, be prepared to dive as to get the best of the Yak-3s maneuverability, which is at around 550-600kph IAS. The Yak-3T has a great roll rate, which allows it to quickly move out of the way of where the enemy fighter would be aiming. With most American aircraft, a simple roll is enough to get them to overshoot, after which a few well placed shots can destroy or critically damage their aircraft. If your shots do not hit, level off and wait for them to finish their climb and reset for another pass.

If at a similar altitude with another aircraft, emphasize on horizontal turning engagements, as the Yak-3T does poorly in vertical engagements except with few exceptions. If engaging a Japanese or British aircraft, such as the A6M, A7M, or Spitfire, do not try to turn fight with these aircraft, instead extend out and keep your airspeed up. If engaging German or American aircraft, such as the Bf 109, Fw 190, P-51, or P-47, it's recommended to prioritize horizontal engagements and not to let them get onto your rear.

'''Bombing hunting'''

As before said, the Yak-3T boasts an armament that is great for engaging bombers. Flying to the bomber's altitude is possible, but is time consuming and has a negative effect on the Yak-3Ts engine power. Instead, fly so that you're around 1.5km below the bomber in level flight, where the gunners are weakest and have the hardest time aiming. The velocity of your guns is poor, so it is necessary to lead a bit farther than to be expected. Aim for the bomber's more vital or fragile areas, such as their wings, engines, tail, or cockpit if at all possible.

== History ==


The idea to produce a new fighter for the Red Army Air Force went as far back as 1941. It was then that the Yakovlev Design Bureau presented the I-30 prototype, intended an alternative to the earlier Yak-1 design. However, the German invasion of the USSR, as well as aluminium shortages, meant that the project had to be put on hold. Yakovlev resumed the development in 1943 while working on an upgraded version of the Yak-1 fighter. This time, it was decided that a new aircraft should be produced to completely replace the Yak-1 and Yak-7 models.

By September 1943, yet another improved variant was ready, designated Yak-1M Dubler, on which the canvas skin on the tail section was replaced with 2mm plywood, and oil and water radiators were improved. The Dubler also had a new mastless antenna, a ring sight instead of a reflector sight, improved armour and a new propeller. Test pilots were impressed by the new prototype. Their report stated in part: "''Yak-1M possessed excellent horizontal, and especially vertical, manoeuvrability. Top speed greatly improved compared to earlier serial-production Yaks. Despite the improved performance, the aircraft remains easy to fly and does not require extensive pilot training''."

The new machine was dubbed as the Yak-3 and entered service with the Red Army Air Force in 1944. The Yak-3 was a further modification of the Yak-1, produced in 1944 and 1945, with a total of 4,848 built, and considered one of the best fighters of the war.

The new fighter quickly became very popular with Soviet pilots. They highly praised its solid armament of two Berezin UBS 12.7 mm machine guns and one ShVAK 20 mm cannon as well as ease of piloting and superb low-altitude performance. Marcel Albert, the top scoring French ace of World War II, cited the Yak-3 as one of the best fighters of the war, along with the P-51 Mustang and the Supermarine Spitfire. After the war, the Yak-3 was also used by the Air Forces of Socialist Yugoslavia and Poland.<ref name="forum">[https://warthunder.com/en/news/2693--en <nowiki>[Aircraft Profile] Yak-3</nowiki>]</ref>

The Yak-3P was produced from April 1945 until mid-1946, armed with 3 x 20 mm Berezin B-20 cannon with 120 rounds for the middle cannon and 130 RPG for the side weapons. The three-cannon armament with full ammunition load was actually 11 kg (24 lb) lighter than that of a standard Yak-3, and the one-second burst mass of 3.52 kg (7.74 lb) was greater than that of most contemporary fighters. Starting in August 1945, all Yak-3 were produced in the Yak-3P configuration with a total of 596 built.

== Description ==

The '''G8N1''', designated as '''Renzan ({{Annotation|連山|Mountain Range}})''', was a four-engine heavy bomber designed by Nakajima Aircraft Company for the Imperial Japanese Navy in 1943. It was intended to be a long-range land-based attack plane that could carry a large bomb load and reach speeds of 590 km/h. The first prototype flew in October 1944 and was delivered to the Navy for testing in January 1945. However, the project faced many difficulties due to material shortages, especially aluminium, and Allied air raids. Only four prototypes and three production models were completed before the program was cancelled in June 1945.

It was introduced in [[Update 1.29]]. The Renzan is a formidable machine with six powerful 20 mm Type 99 Model 2 Mk 5 cannons to deter enemy planes. It can withstand multiple attacks with its strong defensive armament, high ammo count, and decent armour (for a Japanese aircraft). However, it has a low bomb load of 2,400 kg, making it the least effective heavy bomber in-game for ground attack. The Renzan can still pose a threat in formation or with allies. Unlike other heavy bombers like the [[Lancaster B Mk I]], the Renzan can defend itself without fighter escort, to some extent. Another distinctive feature of the Renzan is its four-engine design. It is one of the few Japanese planes with four engines, along with the [[G5N1]] and the [[B-17E (Japan)|premium B-17E Flying Fortress]]. This enhances the Renzan's survivability and chances of returning to base.

Built for long range and speed, the G8N1's flight performance is a massive improvement over its predecessor, the [[G5N1]]. The plane handles and accelerate as great as a medium bomber, with good climb rate at high altitude. Because of this, the G8N1 is quite comfortable to fly, and its superior flight characteristic will help in either avoiding the enemy or facing your defensive armaments at any would-be chasers.

One peculiar characteristic of the G8N1 is its unusually high wing rip speed of 680 km/h IAS, this allows the plane to dive and exceed the air speed of over 700 km/h in a dive. This unusual trait can be exploited in a high-risk, high rewards "fast bomber" gameplay by simply do a shallow dive into the enemy base before they arrive to intercept you.

Like the G5N1, the G8N1 is equipped with a tricycle landing gear that allows it to utilize small airfield when needed. Though due to the landing gear's slow deployment speed and ineffective landing flaps and brakes, the plane will occasionally struggle to lose its speed during the landing process and may results into overshooting the runway. Thus, care must be taken in managing the air speed before landing on small airfield or the player can use the safer option of larger airfield instead.

=== Modifications and economy ===
{{Specs-Economy}}

As with any propeller-driven bomber, speed is not necessarily important. Start off by researching all of the payload and turret modules, as these are more worthwhile than upgrading the aircraft's speed or turn time. Upgrading crew skills such as reload speed and ground repair time are also beneficial. Upgrading the gunners also gives you a massive defensive boost but costs a lot of crew points. Gunner vitality should be number one on the list of crew upgrades. Unlocking the turret belts modules also allows one to fill the turret belts with more armour piercing or high explosive rounds, furthering the G8N1's survivability.

{{main|Type 99 Model 2 (20 mm)|Type 2 (13 mm)}}

One of the distinguishing features of this aircraft is its 20 mm cannons, which are not the standard '''Type 99, Model 2''' ones. They are actually the upgraded '''Type 99, Model 2, Mark 5''' version, which offers a significant improvement over the earlier models. The main difference is that the Mark 5 cannons use a belt-fed ammunition system that enables them to fire longer bursts than the drum-fed ones, which are limited to 100 rounds. The Mark 5 cannons also have a higher fire rate of about 720 RPM, compared to the 500 RPM of the regular Type 99 Model 2 cannons.

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is defended by:

* 2 x 20 mm Type 99 Model 2 cannons, dorsal turret (300 rpg = 600 total)
* 2 x 20 mm Type 99 Model 2 cannons, ventral turret (200 rpg = 400 total)
* 2 x 20 mm Type 99 Model 2 cannons, tail turret (300 rpg = 600 total)
* 2 x 13 mm Type 2 machine guns, nose turret (200 rpg = 400 total)
* 1 x 13 mm Type 2 machine gun, 2 x beam turrets (300 rpg)

== Usage in battles ==

In all game modes, the G8N1 excels at the traditional heavy bomber role of bombing strategic targets like air bases or factories. Maps like New Guinea and Midway feature enemy airfields. If destroyed, they will net your team an auto-win. Unfortunately, it takes multiple Renzans equipped with the full bomb load to destroy an airfield on the first attack run. Other maps such as Saipan do not have airfields. Instead, an array of carriers serve as the enemy's bases. It is possible to destroy all of the carriers and win the round, but again requires multiple Renzans or multiple landings. If the "14 in (mod35)" module is not researched, most maps the Renzan is placed on feature smaller targets like tanks, pillboxes, or destroyers. These can be dispatched with the other bomb load outs the G8N1 possesses. In Arcade battles, the strategy is exactly the same. One may also consider climbing high or flanking to avoid enemy fighters.

If attacked, the G8N1 can more than easily defend itself. It is recommended to "line up" an enemy aircraft by manoeuvring so that all of your tail turrets are facing it. Then, start firing at distances of around 1 km away. Make sure to lead properly and if the shells aren't hitting watch the tracers and adjust accordingly. Unfortunately, even minor wing damage can result in a so-called "death spin" in which the plane becomes unbalanced and spirals slowly towards the ground. It is nearly impossible to recover from a situation such as this, and it happens in all game modes. Apart from that issue, the Renzan can be more of a fortress than the B-17 "Flying Fortress".

Due to the potent defensive armament and unusually high rip speed and G limit characteristics (for a bomber), more ambitious strategies can be used. Players can use the G8N1's armament to intercept other bombers before they get to their bases for an easy kill. An even more unorthodox -- and often ill advisable -- strategy that can be employed is "gunshipping". Rather than flying the Renzan in a traditional heavy high altitude bomber role, a player can use its air spawn to fly into enemy climb patterns and use its unusually high rip speed, G limits, and potent defensive turrets for offensive means against enemy fighters. The layout of the Renzan's armament means that it's best suited for when an enemy is on the rear of the aircraft, when at least 2 turrets of 2x 20mm cannons are able to engage. So a pilot can just pitch up, generally causing the enemy pilot to stall climb, leading to an easy kill. They can also take advantage over the fact that some players don't pay utmost attention whilst side climbing and get an easy kill on an unsuspecting enemy players. Again, this is often ill advisable, as the airframe does not fare well against damage.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Durable airframe clad with several armour plates, able to withstand multiple hits before going down
* Has two pilots protected by multiple layers of armour, thus pilot snipes are unlikely to be fatal
* Quite fast and manoeuvrable for its size
* Good flight performance and climb rate at high altitude (above 5000 m)
* Heavy defensive armaments in the form of 20 mm autocannons and 13 mm machine guns with almost no blindspots
* Unusually high wing rip speed (680 km/h IAS), making it usable as a makeshift fast bomber

'''Cons:'''

* Mediocre acceleration and climb rate at lower altitude
* Low ammo count for turrets, make sure to reload after any engagement
* Low total payload capacity
* Very hard to land, as the landing gear takes a long time to deploy and retract and is equipped with ineffective brakes

== History ==

The G8N1 Renzan was designed to fit an earlier Japanese military specification of a long-range land-based attack plane. The earlier attempt, the [[G5N1]] failed. The initial prototype was completed in October of 1944 and delivered to the Imperial Navy for testing. A total of four prototypes were produced before production stopped as a result of the cease in hostilities. The Allies allocated the name "Rita" to the G8N.

Nakajima G8N1 "Renzan" experimental four-engine, long-range, land-based bomber (Allied reporting name: Rita), Navy 18-Shi specification

An all-metal, seven-seat cantilever monoplane with retractable nose landing gear.

After the creation of the G5N bomber failed, the Nakajima Aircraft Company's designers were forced to radically reconsider their methods for designing heavy multi-engine machines, now that they had some experience.

In late 1942, leaders of the Imperial Japanese Navy issued new requirements for a land-based bomber that would replace the obsolescent G4M in the very near future.

In February 1943, the Nakajima Company was offered to develop such a bomber, after preliminary 18-Shi requirements were issued for a maritime experimental aircraft. An official specification for it was formulated by September of the same year. The specification called for a well-protected machine with powerful defensive armament, which would reach a maximum speed of 592 km/h and have a full bomb capacity of 4,000 kg.

The first prototype of the G8N1 bomber was ready by October 1944, and it got off the ground for the first time on October 23.

The aircraft came to have four Nakajima NK9K-L Homare 24 eighteen-cylinder air-cooled engines with Hitachi 92 turbocompressors, which could produce a maximum takeoff power of 2,000 hp.

The G8N1 bomber had unprecedented power in its defensive armament. The nose turret housed twin 13 mm Type 2 (Rheinmetall-Borsig MG 131) machine guns with 200 rounds each. Each of two fuselage blister gun mounts housed one 13 mm Type 2 machine gun with 300 rounds each. The lower electric turret, capable of 360-degree fire, housed two 20 mm Type 99 Model 1 (Oerlikon FF) cannons with 200 rounds each. The upper electrically driven turret, capable of 360-degree fire, was equipped with two 20 mm Type 99 Model 1 cannons with 300 rounds each. The rear power-driven turret had two 20 mm Type 99 Model 1 cannons with 300 rounds each.

The G8N1 bomber's combat load was carried only internally. Bombs ranging from 60 kg to 2,000 kg, in various combinations, could be suspended in the bomb bay. The standard payload was 2,000 kg within maximum mission flight range. The maximum bomb capacity was 4,000 kg.

{{Specs-Avia-Offensive}}

{{main|N-37 (37 mm)|B-20S (20 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 1 x 37 mm N-37 cannon, nose-mounted (25 rpg)
* 2 x 20 mm B-20S cannons, nose-mounted (100 rpg = 200 total)

The Yak-3T's armament is similar to that of the [[Yak-9P]], but is unable to change out the N-37 for a B-20M or NS-23 and has a lower rpg than the Yak-9P. The B-20S has a faster fire rate than other Russian 20s, so it requires a bit more patience and less trigger time, but are devastating when they hit. However, players will soon realize that the velocity of these guns leave much to be desired, so engaging aircraft in distances at or closer to 600m is recommended, given their poor ballistics.

The best belt for the B-20S is the Tracers belt, which is fully FI-T. These belts are able to destroy enemy aircraft with ease, but are able to be seen fairly easily, as they are tracer belts. The N-37 belts are a bit more difficult, the Default and Armored Target belts have full tracers on their belts, whereas the Air Targets belt has one tracer every three rounds. If you want the best of both worlds, go with Default, as it has HEFI-T, HEFI-T, API-T, which is best for all round usage.

== Usage in battles ==
The Yak-3T has the performance of the Yak-3T and the weapons of the Yak-9P but with a slightly smaller ammunition pool. As such, it should be flown as a Yak-3P, prioritizing engagements below 3000m with enemies at similar or lower energy states. Engagements with unoccupied A6M/A7Ms and Spitfires is inadvisable, as they have a better climb rate, better turn radius, and great performance at the same altitudes you do.

If Manual Engine Controls (MEC) are enabled, placing the Water and Oil Radiators at 10-15% (5% on winter maps) and Propeller Pitch at 90% is advisable, given the Yak-3 series are less prone to overheating. From takeoff, gain airspeed to roughly 350kph IAS and climb at 20° until around 2500m, then change to Supercharger 2, levelling off at 3000m to 3500m. German, Japanese, and some American interceptors (P-38/XP-50) will have climbed at or higher than you, so keep an eye out for contrails.

The Yak-3Ts fantastic armament of the 2x 20mm B-20S and 1x 37mm N-37 are able to destroy enemy fighter aircraft with ease, but also allow the Yak-3T have the ability of bomber hunting, though inadvisable given the Yaks inadequate performance above 4000m.

'''Engaging fighters'''

If an enemy aircraft is higher than you, be prepared to dive as to get the best of the Yak-3s maneuverability, which is at around 550-600kph IAS. The Yak-3T has a great roll rate, which allows it to quickly move out of the way of where the enemy fighter would be aiming. With most American aircraft, a simple roll is enough to get them to overshoot, after which a few well placed shots can destroy or critically damage their aircraft. If your shots do not hit, level off and wait for them to finish their climb and reset for another pass.

If at a similar altitude with another aircraft, emphasize on horizontal turning engagements, as the Yak-3T does poorly in vertical engagements except with few exceptions. If engaging a Japanese or British aircraft, such as the A6M, A7M, or Spitfire, do not try to turn fight with these aircraft, instead extend out and keep your airspeed up. If engaging German or American aircraft, such as the Bf 109, Fw 190, P-51, or P-47, it's recommended to prioritize horizontal engagements and not to let them get onto your rear.

'''Bombing hunting'''

As before said, the Yak-3T boasts an armament that is great for engaging bombers. Flying to the bomber's altitude is possible, but is time consuming and has a negative effect on the Yak-3Ts engine power. Instead, fly so that you're around 1.5km below the bomber in level flight, where the gunners are weakest and have the hardest time aiming. The velocity of your guns is poor, so it is necessary to lead a bit farther than to be expected. Aim for the bomber's more vital or fragile areas, such as their wings, engines, tail, or cockpit if at all possible.

== History ==


The idea to produce a new fighter for the Red Army Air Force went as far back as 1941. It was then that the Yakovlev Design Bureau presented the I-30 prototype, intended an alternative to the earlier Yak-1 design. However, the German invasion of the USSR, as well as aluminium shortages, meant that the project had to be put on hold. Yakovlev resumed the development in 1943 while working on an upgraded version of the Yak-1 fighter. This time, it was decided that a new aircraft should be produced to completely replace the Yak-1 and Yak-7 models.

By September 1943, yet another improved variant was ready, designated Yak-1M Dubler, on which the canvas skin on the tail section was replaced with 2mm plywood, and oil and water radiators were improved. The Dubler also had a new mastless antenna, a ring sight instead of a reflector sight, improved armour and a new propeller. Test pilots were impressed by the new prototype. Their report stated in part: "''Yak-1M possessed excellent horizontal, and especially vertical, manoeuvrability. Top speed greatly improved compared to earlier serial-production Yaks. Despite the improved performance, the aircraft remains easy to fly and does not require extensive pilot training''."

The new machine was dubbed as the Yak-3 and entered service with the Red Army Air Force in 1944. The Yak-3 was a further modification of the Yak-1, produced in 1944 and 1945, with a total of 4,848 built, and considered one of the best fighters of the war.

The new fighter quickly became very popular with Soviet pilots. They highly praised its solid armament of two Berezin UBS 12.7 mm machine guns and one ShVAK 20 mm cannon as well as ease of piloting and superb low-altitude performance. Marcel Albert, the top scoring French ace of World War II, cited the Yak-3 as one of the best fighters of the war, along with the P-51 Mustang and the Supermarine Spitfire. After the war, the Yak-3 was also used by the Air Forces of Socialist Yugoslavia and Poland.<ref name="forum">[https://warthunder.com/en/news/2693--en <nowiki>[Aircraft Profile] Yak-3</nowiki>]</ref>

The Yak-3P was produced from April 1945 until mid-1946, armed with 3 x 20 mm Berezin B-20 cannon with 120 rounds for the middle cannon and 130 RPG for the side weapons. The three-cannon armament with full ammunition load was actually 11 kg (24 lb) lighter than that of a standard Yak-3, and the one-second burst mass of 3.52 kg (7.74 lb) was greater than that of most contemporary fighters. Starting in August 1945, all Yak-3 were produced in the Yak-3P configuration with a total of 596 built.

{{main|N-37 (37 mm)|B-20S (20 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 1 x 37 mm N-37 cannon, nose-mounted (25 rpg)
* 2 x 20 mm B-20S cannons, nose-mounted (100 rpg = 200 total)

The Yak-3T's armament is similar to that of the [[Yak-9P]], but is unable to change out the N-37 for a B-20M or NS-23 and has a lower rpg than the Yak-9P. The B-20S has a faster fire rate than other Russian 20s, so it requires a bit more patience and less trigger time, but are devastating when they hit. However, players will soon realize that the velocity of these guns leave much to be desired, so engaging aircraft in distances at or closer to 600m is recommended, given their poor ballistics.

The best belt for the B-20S is the Tracers belt, which is fully FI-T. These belts are able to destroy enemy aircraft with ease, but are able to be seen fairly easily, as they are tracer belts. The N-37 belts are a bit more difficult, the Default and Armored Target belts have full tracers on their belts, whereas the Air Targets belt has one tracer every three rounds. If you want the best of both worlds, go with Default, as it has HEFI-T, HEFI-T, API-T, which is best for all round usage.

== Usage in battles ==
The Yak-3T has the performance of the Yak-3T and the weapons of the Yak-9P but with a slightly smaller ammunition pool. As such, it should be flown as a Yak-3P, prioritizing engagements below 3000m with enemies at similar or lower energy states. Engagements with unoccupied A6M/A7Ms and Spitfires is inadvisable, as they have a better climb rate, better turn radius, and great performance at the same altitudes you do.

If Manual Engine Controls (MEC) are enabled, placing the Water and Oil Radiators at 10-15% (5% on winter maps) and Propeller Pitch at 90% is advisable, given the Yak-3 series are less prone to overheating. From takeoff, gain airspeed to roughly 350kph IAS and climb at 20° until around 2500m, then change to Supercharger 2, levelling off at 3000m to 3500m. German, Japanese, and some American interceptors (P-38/XP-50) will have climbed at or higher than you, so keep an eye out for contrails.

The Yak-3Ts fantastic armament of the 2x 20mm B-20S and 1x 37mm N-37 are able to destroy enemy fighter aircraft with ease, but also allow the Yak-3T have the ability of bomber hunting, though inadvisable given the Yaks inadequate performance above 4000m.

'''Engaging fighters'''

If an enemy aircraft is higher than you, be prepared to dive as to get the best of the Yak-3s maneuverability, which is at around 550-600kph IAS. The Yak-3T has a great roll rate, which allows it to quickly move out of the way of where the enemy fighter would be aiming. With most American aircraft, a simple roll is enough to get them to overshoot, after which a few well placed shots can destroy or critically damage their aircraft. If your shots do not hit, level off and wait for them to finish their climb and reset for another pass.

If at a similar altitude with another aircraft, emphasize on horizontal turning engagements, as the Yak-3T does poorly in vertical engagements except with few exceptions. If engaging a Japanese or British aircraft, such as the A6M, A7M, or Spitfire, do not try to turn fight with these aircraft, instead extend out and keep your airspeed up. If engaging German or American aircraft, such as the Bf 109, Fw 190, P-51, or P-47, it's recommended to prioritize horizontal engagements and not to let them get onto your rear.

'''Bombing hunting'''

As before said, the Yak-3T boasts an armament that is great for engaging bombers. Flying to the bomber's altitude is possible, but is time consuming and has a negative effect on the Yak-3Ts engine power. Instead, fly so that you're around 1.5km below the bomber in level flight, where the gunners are weakest and have the hardest time aiming.

Aim for the bomber's more vital or fragile areas, such as their wings, engines, tail, or cockpit if at all possible.

The Yak-3P was produced from April 1945 until mid-1946, armed with 3 x 20 mm Berezin B-20 cannon with 120 rounds for the middle cannon and 130 RPG for the side weapons. The three-cannon armament with full ammunition load was actually 11 kg (24 lb) lighter than that of a standard Yak-3, and the one-second burst mass of 3.52 kg (7.74 lb) was greater than that of most contemporary fighters. Starting in August 1945, all Yak-3 were produced in the Yak-3P configuration with a total of 596 built.

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 1 x 37 mm N-37 cannon, nose-mounted (25 rpg)
* 2 x 20 mm B-20S cannons, nose-mounted (100 rpg = 200 total)

== Usage in battles ==
The Yak-3T has the performance of the Yak-3T and the weapons of the Yak-9P but with a slightly smaller ammunition pool. As such, it should be flown as a Yak-3P, prioritizing engagements below 3000m with enemies at similar or lower energy states. Engagements with unoccupied A6M/A7Ms and Spitfires is inadvisable, as they have a better climb rate, better turn radius, and great performance at the same altitudes you do.

If Manual Engine Controls (MEC) are enabled, placing the Water and Oil Radiators at 10-15% (5% on winter maps) and Propeller Pitch at 90% is advisable, given the Yak-3 series are less prone to overheating. From takeoff, gain airspeed to roughly 350kph IAS and climb at 20° until around 2500m, then change to Supercharger 2, levelling off at 3000m to 3500m. German, Japanese, and some American interceptors (P-38/XP-50) will have climbed at or higher than you, so keep an eye out for contrails.

The Yak-3Ts fantastic armament of the 2x 20mm B-20S and 1x 37mm N-37 are able to destroy enemy fighter aircraft with ease, but also allow the Yak-3T have the ability of bomber hunting, though inadvisable given the Yaks inadequate performance above 4000m.

'''Engaging fighters'''

If an enemy aircraft is higher than you, be prepared to dive as to get the best of the Yak-3s maneuverability, which is at around 550-600kph IAS. The Yak-3T has a great roll rate, which allows it to quickly move out of the way of where the enemy fighter would be aiming. With most American aircraft, a simple roll is enough to get them to overshoot, after which a few well placed shots can destroy or critically damage their aircraft. If your shots do not hit, level off and wait for them to finish their climb and reset for another pass.

If at a similar altitude with another aircraft, emphasize on horizontal turning engagements, as the Yak-3T does poorly in vertical engagements except with few exceptions. If engaging a Japanese or British aircraft, such as the A6M, A7M, or Spitfire, do not try to turn fight with these aircraft, instead extend out and keep your airspeed up. If engaging German or American aircraft, such as the Bf 109, Fw 190, P-51, or P-47, it's recommended to prioritize horizontal engagements and not to let them get onto your rear.

'''Bombing hunting'''

As before said, the Yak-3T boasts an armament that is great for engaging bombers. Flying to the bomber's altitude is possible, but is time consuming and has a negative effect on the Yak-3Ts engine power. Instead, fly so that you're around 1.5km below the bomber in level flight, where the gunners are weakest and have the hardest time aiming. The velocity of your guns is poor, so it is necessary to lead a bit farther than to be expected. Aim for the bomber's more vital or fragile areas, such as their wings, engines, tail, or cockpit if at all possible.

'''Pros:'''

* Great armament of 2x 20mm and 1x 37mm
* Great engine performance below 3000m
* Light airframe - good for dogfighting most aircraft
* Increased SL and RP rewards
* Low stall speed compared to most aircraft that will be found in the BR
* Good acceleration
* One of the faster aircraft in the BR bracket
* Fantastic roll rate
* Good energy retention

*

'''Cons:'''

* Low ammo count for all three weapons, 25rpg for the N-37 and 100rpg for the B-20S
* Poor performance above 3500m, inadvisable to dogfight above or at altitude
* Prone to catching on fire
* No WEP
* Low top speed (685kph)
* The N-37 and B-20S have low velocities compared to other Russian 20mms, making aiming difficult to inexperienced pilots

== History ==


The idea to produce a new fighter for the Red Army Air Force went as far back as 1941. It was then that the Yakovlev Design Bureau presented the I-30 prototype, intended an alternative to the earlier Yak-1 design. However, the German invasion of the USSR, as well as aluminium shortages, meant that the project had to be put on hold. Yakovlev resumed the development in 1943 while working on an upgraded version of the Yak-1 fighter. This time, it was decided that a new aircraft should be produced to completely replace the Yak-1 and Yak-7 models.

By September 1943, yet another improved variant was ready, designated Yak-1M Dubler, on which the canvas skin on the tail section was replaced with 2mm plywood, and oil and water radiators were improved. The Dubler also had a new mastless antenna, a ring sight instead of a reflector sight, improved armour and a new propeller. Test pilots were impressed by the new prototype. Their report stated in part: "''Yak-1M possessed excellent horizontal, and especially vertical, manoeuvrability. Top speed greatly improved compared to earlier serial-production Yaks. Despite the improved performance, the aircraft remains easy to fly and does not require extensive pilot training''."

The new machine was dubbed as the Yak-3 and entered service with the Red Army Air Force in 1944. The Yak-3 was a further modification of the Yak-1, produced in 1944 and 1945, with a total of 4,848 built, and considered one of the best fighters of the war.

The new fighter quickly became very popular with Soviet pilots. They highly praised its solid armament of two Berezin UBS 12.7 mm machine guns and one ShVAK 20 mm cannon as well as ease of piloting and superb low-altitude performance. Marcel Albert, the top scoring French ace of World War II, cited the Yak-3 as one of the best fighters of the war, along with the P-51 Mustang and the Supermarine Spitfire. After the war, the Yak-3 was also used by the Air Forces of Socialist Yugoslavia and Poland.<ref name="forum">[https://warthunder.com/en/news/2693--en <nowiki>[Aircraft Profile] Yak-3</nowiki>]</ref>

The three-cannon armament with full ammunition load was actually 11 kg (24 lb) lighter than that of a standard Yak-3, and the one-second burst mass of 3.52 kg (7.74 lb) was greater than that of most contemporary fighters. Starting in August 1945, all Yak-3 were produced in the Yak-3P configuration with a total of 596 built.

U28882589: /* Battle Pass */

<div class="specs_card_main"></div>__TOC__

'''Titles''' are tags that players can unlock after doing specific tasks. They are similar to achievements by the fact that a player has them unlocked to begin with and works on them. But unlike achievements, after a title challenge has been completed the player can display it to the public. Once a player has a title unlocked, the player can go to their player card and, from a drop-box, select which title the player would like people to see. Once the title is selected, other players will see said title below the player's name while in battle.

Titles

2023-12-16T01:45:56Z

U28882589: /* Pre-orders */ added "Air Superiority" pre-order pack titles

<div class="specs_card_main"></div>__TOC__

'''Titles''' are tags that players can unlock after doing specific tasks. They are similar to achievements by the fact that a player has them unlocked to begin with and works on them. But unlike achievements, after a title challenge has been completed the player can display it to the public. Once a player has a title unlocked, the player can go to their player card and, from a drop-box, select which title the player would like people to see. Once the title is selected, other players will see said title below the player's name while in battle.

F-1

U28882589: /* Usage in battles */

{{Specs-Card
|code=f1
|images={{Specs-Card-Image|GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|ArtImage_{{PAGENAME}}.png}}
}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the first supersonic fighter jet designed and built by Japan, as a joint project of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Fuji Heavy Industries. It derived from the [[Mitsubishi T-2]] advanced jet trainer, which was influenced by the [[Jaguar (Family)|SEPECAT Jaguar]]. The F-1 had a specialized role in anti-ship and ground attack missions, with upgraded avionics, airframe and weapons capacity, including seven hardpoints and a built-in JM61A1 Vulcan. It replaced the F-86 Sabres in the JASDF's arsenal.

It was introduced in [[Update "New Power"]]. The F-1 is a versatile fighter that can perform different roles depending on the mission. It can attack both air and ground targets with its two 20 mm JM61A1 cannons, which have 750 rounds of ammo and can damage light armor and aircraft. It can also carry up to ~2,500 kg of ordnance on seven hardpoints, such as AIM-9P Sidewinder missiles, bombs and rocket pods. The on-board balistics computer can help guide the ordnance (including the cannon) to ground targets. The F-1 does not have any countermeasures like flares and chaff, so it needs to be careful when facing enemy missiles. A possible workaround is to use the FFAR rocket pods as makeshift flare pods and fire a volley or so to break missile locks.

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}

The sleekness of the aircraft lends itself to flying fast and speed should be maintained when flying, especially during air-to-air combat as a slow-flying {{PAGENAME}} is a relatively easy target due to poor manoeuvrability at slow speeds. To help in instances where the aircraft must fly at slower speeds (landing, bombing and ground rocket attack), slats and spoilers help create a higher lift capacity and roll rate, preventing the aircraft from stalling and plummeting.

Air-to-air combat should be avoided when carrying bomb loads, as this will significantly decrease manoeuvrability. During a ground attack, all efforts should be made to get to the target as soon as possible and release the heavy ordnance and then proceed to any aerial combat in the near vicinity.

Damage to the aircraft, especially to the wings, will typically result in the destruction of the aircraft. Due to their relatively small size, any loss in surface area will cause the fighter to over-lift on the good side, sending the aircraft into a roll and then potentially into a flat spin.

=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Avia-Armour}}


The {{PAGENAME}} fighter, like many of the newer aircraft, has shed most of its armour in return for better speed and agility. The only armour outfitted on the previous [[T-2]], the 38 mm bulletproof glass situated between the fore and aft cockpit, is NOT present, having been removed with the aft cockpit. Pilot sniping is therefore increased in likelihood in comparison with the [[T-2]].

Damage sustained to the wings will not affect fuel loss as no tanks are mounted here; they are only mounted within the aircraft's fuselage. While many aircraft can absorb a huge amount of ammunition rounds in the fuselage before losing something important when it comes to the {{PAGENAME}} fuselage hits typically result in a hit to the engines, oil coolers, fuel, pilots or the radar. This is where pilot skill and manoeuvring come into play to make it very difficult for an enemy pilot to get a firing solution. High-G manoeuvres within this aircraft may hurt the speed and manoeuvrability; however, it may save the pilot's lives by causing many missiles such as the AIM Sidewinders to miss due to their lower g-turn threshold.

=== Offensive armament ===
{{Specs-Avia-Offensive}}

{{main|JM61A1 (20 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 1 x 20 mm JM61A1 cannon, chin-mounted (750 rpg)

The JM61A1 20 mm Vulcan cannon is a monster and at the same time a headache for new pilots not used to it. Unlike most other machine guns and cannons in the game (or in real life for that matter), trigger depression here does not immediately produce flying bullets. Due to the characteristics of the JM61A1 cannon, it requires an initial spool-up time or spin of the cannon barrels before ammunition can be fired. The high rate of fire can easily melt the barrel, however with the rotating barrels, each barrel can cool off enough before it is its turn again to prevent damage. To initiate this, trigger depression will result in a .25 second delay before the ammunition begins to fire to allow the barrels to get to proper rotating speed. Once it gets going, 750 rounds of ammunition do not last very long.

When targeting an aircraft, for example, the pilot must remember this formula to be successful while leading an aircraft or before an aircraft passes through the crosshairs, start squeezing the trigger about .5 to .25 seconds before that event, and the cannon rounds should land on target. Waiting until a target passes through the crosshairs (unless tailing them) will result in a miss as they will be out of the sights before the cannon starts firing.

Trigger discipline is necessary when using this cannon as due to its rate of fire (about 6,000 RPM, ~100 RPS or 5 seconds of ammunition) will easily blow through the 750 rounds carried by the {{PAGENAME}}.

== Usage in battles ==


;Air-to-Air

The F-1 is a challenging aircraft to fly at its high BR, as it has mediocre flight performance and only rear-aspect missiles. The F-1 should adopt a passive playstyle and rely on the team's support. The AIM-9Ps can be very effective if the enemy is unaware of or distracted by the F-1's presence. However, if the enemy is alert and dodging, the F-1 will have a hard time finding a good launch angle, even with the radar-slaving feature. Moreover, many aircraft have flares that can decoy the missiles. Therefore, surprise is essential for the F-1's success. The F-1's cannon can also be very effective with accurate or lucky shots, but dogfighting is not recommended for this aircraft due to its inferior performance. The F-1 consumes a lot of fuel, so 30 minutes of fuel is at minimum recommended for most matches. Like the [[T-2]], the F-1's wings will break off in high-speed negative G manoeuvres. Another drawback of the F-1 is that it lacks any countermeasures such as flares or chaff, which can be compensated by loading FFAR missiles and using them as makeshift flares, but this will increase the drag for the plane in exchange for more survivability against missiles.

A strategy player can adapt to, particularly in downtiers, is to climb to high altitude (6500-8500m) and waiting for furballs to take place. While other aircraft are engaging one another, use the AIM-9Ps to destroy enemy aircraft in low energy/altitude states, then zoom back up to altitudes.

Using keyboard input to assist manoeuvres can be very helpful, as the aircraft tends to wobble around its central axis with mouse aim only.

;Air-to-Ground

With the ballistics computer, the F-1 can prove exceptional in the role of close air support with its bombs, rockets and even gun, if complete air superiority has been accomplished. Though, with the lack of countermeasures, pilots will find themselves vulnerable to SAMs if not addressed properly. Its exceptional radar system often provides an advantage over enemy air combatants. Flying low, once an enemy aircraft has been located, it's often a good idea to turn off the search or lock radar as the chance is often great that the enemy is equipped with a RWR, alerting them to your presence and your upcoming attack. Again though, the F-1 suffers greatly when forced into drawn out engagements with the more capable enemies at its battle rating, though the opposing aircraft in this mode are not always similar in battle rating.

===Radars===
{{main|AN/APS-21|AN/APG-26}}The Mitsubishi F-1 is equipped with an [[AN/APS-21]] search radar, as well as an [[AN/APG-26]] target tracking radar. Both radars are located in the nose of the aircraft.

== History ==

The Mitsubishi F-1 was an indigenously-produced Japanese supersonic fighter aircraft that served with the Japanese Air Self Defence Force (JASDF). Based on the earlier Mitsubishi [[T-2]], the aircraft first flew in 1975 and entered service a short time later.<ref name=":0">Goebel, G. (2019)</ref> A total of 160 aircraft were initially ordered, but the order was reduced to 77 airframes due to budget constraints.<ref name=":0" /> In service, the aircraft served as an anti-shipping platform and was intended to fire the Mitsubishi ASM-1 anti-ship missile at enemy naval vessels.<ref name=":1">Hillebrand, N. (2002)</ref>

By the time it entered service, the F-1 had already grown obsolete due to it being relatively underpowered and unsuitable for air combat manoeuvring. Despite this, F-1s of the JASDF served until 2006, being replaced by modernized variants of the [[F-4EJ Phantom II|F-4EJ]] and the Mitsubishi F-2.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

=== Design and development ===
The Mitsubishi F-1 was developed from the T-2, a jet trainer and the first Japanese-designed and manufactured aircraft to break the sound barrier.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /> The F-1 was almost identical to its trainer counterpart; the main visual difference was that the F-1's rear cockpit was faired over to make room for an avionics bay. The aircraft featured a J/AWG-12 radar, an upgrade over the T-2's J/AWG-11 and similar to the [[Phantom FGR.2]]'s AN/AWG-12 radar. The aircraft also gained a centreline hardpoint for an external drop tank, allowing the aircraft to use all of its wing hardpoints to carry munitions.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

Due to the design requirement specifications, the F-1 was otherwise highly similar to the T-2, retaining its engines, airframe and armament. It was so similar that the first pair of F-1s were developed from T-2 airframes taken off the assembly line.<ref name=":0" /> The first prototype F-1 flew on June 3rd 1975, while the first production aircraft flew in mid-1977.<ref name=":0" /> The aircraft was accepted for production and service with the JASDF.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

=== Operational history ===
[[File:F-1.jpg|thumb|A Mitsubishi F-1, standard colour scheme, landing at Misawa air force base.]]
The first order for twelve F-1 aircraft was approved in the 1975 fiscal year, and the first aircraft deliveries began in 1978. The F-1 entered full operational service and was initially used by the 3rd Squadron of the 3rd air wing at Misawa Air Base.<ref name=":1" /> The aircraft eventually equipped a total of three squadrons, being the 3rd and 8th Squadrons at Misawa and the 6th Squadron at Tsuiki Air Force base. Deliveries of the F-1 were completed in 1987, with only 77 aircraft being delivered; this was due to the budget constraints of the JASDF.

In service, the F-1 was intended to be used as a low-altitude anti-ship attack aircraft, utilizing the Mitsubishi ASM-1 air-to-ship missile.<ref name=":1" /> A reconnaissance variant of the F-1 was also planned but was cancelled in favour of the RF-4EJ Phantom.<ref name=":0" /> Due to the design of its airframe and lack of engine power, the F-1 was rather unsuited for the air-to-air role and soon became obsolete. Despite this, the JASDF program to deliver a replacement stalled,<ref name=":1" /> and the F-1 soldiered on until the early 2000s. During this time, the F-1s were given a service life extension (SLEP) upgrade, which increased their service life from 3,500 to 4,000 hours.<ref name=":0" /> In the early 2000s, the F-1s were gradually retired, replaced by the F-4EJ and F-15J in the conversion training role and by the T-4 in the standard training role.<ref name=":0" /> In its combat role, aircraft was replaced by the Mitsubishi F-2, a derivative of the American F-16 Fighting Falcon.<ref name=":1" /> The last F-1s served on until 2006; it never saw combat nor fired shots in anger.<ref name=":0" />

U28882589: /* Pros and cons */

{{Specs-Card
|code=f1
|images={{Specs-Card-Image|GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|ArtImage_{{PAGENAME}}.png}}
}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the first supersonic fighter jet designed and built by Japan, as a joint project of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Fuji Heavy Industries. It derived from the [[Mitsubishi T-2]] advanced jet trainer, which was influenced by the [[Jaguar (Family)|SEPECAT Jaguar]]. The F-1 had a specialized role in anti-ship and ground attack missions, with upgraded avionics, airframe and weapons capacity, including seven hardpoints and a built-in JM61A1 Vulcan. It replaced the F-86 Sabres in the JASDF's arsenal.

It was introduced in [[Update "New Power"]]. The F-1 is a versatile fighter that can perform different roles depending on the mission. It can attack both air and ground targets with its two 20 mm JM61A1 cannons, which have 750 rounds of ammo and can damage light armor and aircraft. It can also carry up to ~2,500 kg of ordnance on seven hardpoints, such as AIM-9P Sidewinder missiles, bombs and rocket pods. The on-board balistics computer can help guide the ordnance (including the cannon) to ground targets. The F-1 does not have any countermeasures like flares and chaff, so it needs to be careful when facing enemy missiles. A possible workaround is to use the FFAR rocket pods as makeshift flare pods and fire a volley or so to break missile locks.

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}

The sleekness of the aircraft lends itself to flying fast and speed should be maintained when flying, especially during air-to-air combat as a slow-flying {{PAGENAME}} is a relatively easy target due to poor manoeuvrability at slow speeds. To help in instances where the aircraft must fly at slower speeds (landing, bombing and ground rocket attack), slats and spoilers help create a higher lift capacity and roll rate, preventing the aircraft from stalling and plummeting.

Air-to-air combat should be avoided when carrying bomb loads, as this will significantly decrease manoeuvrability. During a ground attack, all efforts should be made to get to the target as soon as possible and release the heavy ordnance and then proceed to any aerial combat in the near vicinity.

Damage to the aircraft, especially to the wings, will typically result in the destruction of the aircraft. Due to their relatively small size, any loss in surface area will cause the fighter to over-lift on the good side, sending the aircraft into a roll and then potentially into a flat spin.

=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Avia-Armour}}


The {{PAGENAME}} fighter, like many of the newer aircraft, has shed most of its armour in return for better speed and agility. The only armour outfitted on the previous [[T-2]], the 38 mm bulletproof glass situated between the fore and aft cockpit, is NOT present, having been removed with the aft cockpit. Pilot sniping is therefore increased in likelihood in comparison with the [[T-2]].

Damage sustained to the wings will not affect fuel loss as no tanks are mounted here; they are only mounted within the aircraft's fuselage. While many aircraft can absorb a huge amount of ammunition rounds in the fuselage before losing something important when it comes to the {{PAGENAME}} fuselage hits typically result in a hit to the engines, oil coolers, fuel, pilots or the radar. This is where pilot skill and manoeuvring come into play to make it very difficult for an enemy pilot to get a firing solution. High-G manoeuvres within this aircraft may hurt the speed and manoeuvrability; however, it may save the pilot's lives by causing many missiles such as the AIM Sidewinders to miss due to their lower g-turn threshold.

=== Offensive armament ===
{{Specs-Avia-Offensive}}

{{main|JM61A1 (20 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 1 x 20 mm JM61A1 cannon, chin-mounted (750 rpg)

The JM61A1 20 mm Vulcan cannon is a monster and at the same time a headache for new pilots not used to it. Unlike most other machine guns and cannons in the game (or in real life for that matter), trigger depression here does not immediately produce flying bullets. Due to the characteristics of the JM61A1 cannon, it requires an initial spool-up time or spin of the cannon barrels before ammunition can be fired. The high rate of fire can easily melt the barrel, however with the rotating barrels, each barrel can cool off enough before it is its turn again to prevent damage. To initiate this, trigger depression will result in a .25 second delay before the ammunition begins to fire to allow the barrels to get to proper rotating speed. Once it gets going, 750 rounds of ammunition do not last very long.

When targeting an aircraft, for example, the pilot must remember this formula to be successful while leading an aircraft or before an aircraft passes through the crosshairs, start squeezing the trigger about .5 to .25 seconds before that event, and the cannon rounds should land on target. Waiting until a target passes through the crosshairs (unless tailing them) will result in a miss as they will be out of the sights before the cannon starts firing.

Trigger discipline is necessary when using this cannon as due to its rate of fire (about 6,000 RPM, ~100 RPS or 5 seconds of ammunition) will easily blow through the 750 rounds carried by the {{PAGENAME}}.

=== Suspended armament ===

== Usage in battles ==


;Air-to-Air

The F-1 is a challenging aircraft to fly at its high BR, as it has mediocre flight performance and only rear-aspect missiles. The F-1 should adopt a passive playstyle and rely on the team's support. The AIM-9Ps can be very effective if the enemy is unaware of or distracted by the F-1's presence. However, if the enemy is alert and dodging, the F-1 will have a hard time finding a good launch angle, even with the radar-slaving feature. Moreover, many aircraft have flares that can decoy the missiles. Therefore, surprise is essential for the F-1's success. The F-1's cannon can also be very effective with accurate or lucky shots, but dogfighting is not recommended for this aircraft due to its inferior performance. The F-1 consumes a lot of fuel, so 30 minutes of fuel is at minimum recommended for most matches. Like the [[T-2]], the F-1's wings will break off in high-speed negative G manoeuvres. Another drawback of the F-1 is that it lacks any countermeasures such as flares or chaff, which can be compensated by loading FFAR missiles and using them as makeshift flares, but this will increase the drag for the plane in exchange for more survivability against missiles.

Using keyboard input to assist manoeuvres can be very helpful, as the aircraft tends to wobble around its central axis with mouse aim only.

;Air-to-Ground

With the ballistics computer, the F-1 can prove exceptional in the role of close air support with its bombs, rockets and even gun, if complete air superiority has been accomplished. Though, with the lack of countermeasures, pilots will find themselves vulnerable to SAMs if not addressed properly. Its exceptional radar system often provides an advantage over enemy air combatants. Flying low, once an enemy aircraft has been located, it's often a good idea to turn off the search or lock radar as the chance is often great that the enemy is equipped with a RWR, alerting them to your presence and your upcoming attack. Again though, the F-1 suffers greatly when forced into drawn out engagements with the more capable enemies at its battle rating, though the opposing aircraft in this mode are not always similar in battle rating.

===Radars===
{{main|AN/APS-21|AN/APG-26}}The Mitsubishi F-1 is equipped with an [[AN/APS-21]] search radar, as well as an [[AN/APG-26]] target tracking radar. Both radars are located in the nose of the aircraft.

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}

The Saab J35XS turns very fast, however turning too fast at lower speeds can also lead to a "superstall", which may cause a crash. Tight turns also lead to a significant loss of energy/speed.

Being that the Saab J35XS is also a double-delta wing, it's sustained turn rate is fantastic, but leaves the aircraft in a much-to-be-desired energy and speed state. An issue most pilots may run into in a dogfight is an issue with only one ''sidemounted'' Akan m/55 30mm, making getting good shots in a dogfight difficult.

=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Avia-Armour}}

As with all delta or double-delta wing configurations, your silhouette is significantly larger than other contemporary aircraft you'll face from 9.7-11.7. The fuel tanks are located close to the center of the fuselage, meaning that most rounds that connect with your aircraft will likely cause you to burn up. The engine is also massive and fragile, meaning that even a glancing blow from an enemy's gun can critically damage your engine.

Flight characteristics are also heavily damaged with even minor damage to the wings, particularly if the damage is uneven, greatly increasing the chances of getting into a irrecoverable flatspin. As with most aircraft of the BR, you will not be able to survive a missile if it comes into contact with your aircraft.

== History ==

The SAAB J-35XS (Xerxes Sigurd/Export Suomi) is a Finnish export of the Swedish J35F interceptor. During and after 1970, Sweden provided second hand J35's to the Finnish Air Force. The first wave of exported Drakens were put into service on 1972, while the first J35 assembled under licence by Valmet was finished on March 12th, 1974. A unique feature to the Finnish variants was the ability to mount Soviet R-13M missiles, along with countermeasures such as flares and chaff.

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a premium gift rank {{Specs|rank}} Swedish jet fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Apex Predators"]].

Though under the Swedish line, it is a Finnish aircraft, as the XS stands for Export Suomi.

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}

The Saab J35XS turns very fast, however turning too fast at lower speeds can also lead to a "superstall", which may cause a crash. Tight turns also lead to a significant loss of energy/speed.

Being that the Saab J35XS is also a double-delta wing, it's sustained turn rate is fantastic, but leaves the aircraft in a much-to-be-desired energy and speed state. An issue most pilots may run into in a dogfight is an issue with only one ''sidemounted'' Akan m/55 30mm, making getting good shots in a dogfight difficult.

=== Effective damage ===
The R-27T has the same damage as it's radar contemporary, the R-27R. One missile will often be enough to destroy an aircraft entirely, and rarely does the R-27T critically damage an aircraft.

=== Comparison with analogues ===
It's most common contemporaries are the AIM-9L, PL-8, and Python-3, though all of these missiles are better at shorter ranges due to the R-27T's long acceleration, which makes it sluggish during the burner's duration; so it's best used when in engagements beyond 1.5km. The PL-8 and Python-3 will outmaneuver the R-27T by a long shot, but their shorter burn time makes them poorer at longer range IR scenarios. The R-27T is also unique in it's ability to counteract the Su-25T/Su-39s Infrared Countermeasure system, making it useful for rear aspect engagements against those aircraft.

== Usage in battles ==
The R-27T is useful while engaging unaware opponents who are either preoccupied with other engagements or are not good at their surroundings. The R-27T offers some of the best IR tracking in the game, able to do an all aspect tone from 6km away and from a rear aspect shot, it is impossible to flare off.

The proper use of the R-27T depends on the skill of the player using it. As an IR tracking missile, it will engage a friendly's engine or flares just as easily as it engages an enemy's so proper positioning as to decrease the chance of the missile engaging a friendly is paramount to it's success. With a motor that burns as long as it's radar contemporary ([[R-27R]]), it is the longest burning IR missile in the game, and has the engagement range to show for it. Best used with the IRST function, it can silently lock onto any heat signature without an RWR notification. While possible to do front or side aspect shots, it is more liable to being flared off, but is still certainly able to get kills if the pilot knows what they are doing.

=== Pros and cons ===

'''Pros:'''

* All-aspect targeting ability
* The aircraft fired upon has no RWR indicator of the incoming missile
* Very high overload
* Large explosive mass

'''Cons:'''

* Bleeds energy fairly quickly

Su-25T

U28882589: /* Pros and cons */ Fixed spelling

{{About
| about = Soviet strike aircraft '''{{PAGENAME}}'''

| link = Su-25 (Family)
}}
{{Specs-Card
|code=su_25t
|images={{Specs-Card-Image|GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg}}
}}

== Description ==

The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Soviet strike aircraft {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "La Royale"]].

The Su-25T is a dedicated anti-tank variant of the legendary Su-25 "Grach". The airframe was adapted from a two-seat trainer variant and the appearance is more hump-backed than the original model. The nose houses the same "Shkval" targeting system as the [[Ka-50]] attack helicopter and can be further assisted with a Mercury targeting pod carried on the belly pylon. The Su-25T's signature weapon is the infamous 9K127 Vikhr beam-riding ATGM with large capacity, long range, and secondary anti-air capabilities, but it still has a classic arsenal of destructive unguided and laser-guided munitions, along with some TV-guided options. This Frogfoot can rain endless destruction on enemy vehicles in uncontested skies, but at such a high battle rating its subsonic flight performance is extremely lacking and it is not a significant threat in air combat. Su-25T pilots must be vigilant of enemy SAM and fighter capabilities and use its bag of tricks to stay alive.

== General info ==
=== Flight performance ===
{{Specs-Avia-Flight}}


The Su-25T weighs about 500 kg more than the basic Su-25 when empty due to the new electronics, but it has uprated R-195 turbojet engines than produce about 5% more thrust at full military power and have a new emergency mode that adds another 5% at the cost of rapid overheating. The overall flight performance is about the same: decent acceleration and handling for a subsonic jet but difficult to handle when weighed down with ordnance. The main issue is that the Su-25T's opposition consists of late 3rd generation and early 4th generation fighters that outperform it to an even greater margin than the basic Su-25. The only advantage it can boast of is a small turning radius because of its low speed, but the same could be said for a biplane and competent enemy pilots will know to use their enormous speed and climb advantages to prevent the Frogfoot from getting good opportunities to attack.

=== Survivability and armour ===
{{Specs-Avia-Armour}}


The Su-25T's armour layout is slightly different from the Su-25. The pilot still sits in a titanium "bathtub" and is surrounded by thick layers of bulletproof glass. There are now sheets of titanium on the sides of the nose, presumably for protecting the avionics but do not contribute much in War Thunder. The steel firewall between the engines and fuel tanks has been expanded and there is a new steel plate right behind the tail boom.

The Su-25T is the first jet in War Thunder to feature an IRCM system, which were previously only seen on helicopters. The IRCM is mounted in a pod at the base of the vertical stabilizer, and when active, will make it more difficult for IR missiles to lock onto the Frogfoot from the rear aspect.

=== Offensive armament ===

{{main|GSh-30-2 (30 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 1 x 30 mm GSh-30-2 cannon, belly-mounted (200 rpg)
* 192 x countermeasures

The Su-25T features the same GSh-30-2 twin-barreled autocannon as the original Su-25. However, the cannon mount is slightly different as the gun is placed underneath the cockpit in an external gondola instead of being integrated into the nose, a result of the space required by the new targeting systems. It loses 50 rounds of ammunition, so it is important to make every shot count.

{{Navigation-End}}

The Su-25T's arsenal includes just about everything in the original Su-25's arsenal (minus the small-calibre, high-capacity S-5K HEAT rockets), so the unguided bombs and rockets can be used in exactly the same way. The new and returning guided options are worth discussing in more detail.

It is helpful to carry the Mercury targeting pod when using any laser-guided air-to-ground weapons. Although it is primarily designed for NVD capabilities (no thermal optics, unfortunately) and the nose-mounted Shkval already has built-in zoom and auto-tracker systems, the Mercury system has a wider field of view from its belly placement and can look almost directly below the center of the Frogfoot, which makes it easier to keep the target locked when breaking away from a joust or incoming fire.

As could be expected of having the same targeting system as the Ka-50, the Su-25T can carry the 9K127 Vikhr ATGM in an unusual case of a fixed-wing aircraft being able to carry helicopter weapons. The Vikhr can be carried in greater numbers compared to helicopters and the speed and altitude of this launch platform helps extend the effective range somewhat. 800 mm of tandem-warhead penetration and about 5 kg of TNT equivalent are enough to dispatch both armoured and light targets alike upon direct hits. The Vikhrs of course can swat aircraft and even destroy incoming missiles because of their proximity fuses, but this does not mean that they are true air-to-air weapons. Acquiring a fast moving target with the auto tracker can be difficult and they do not have enough maneuverability to follow evasive maneuvers, so in air combat they are best used in head-ons (to force opponents to break off) or when trailing slow and unaware enemies.

The Vikhrs are some of the Su-25T's most interesting weapons because they can be carried in huge numbers (no other jet can carry 16 guided air-to-ground missiles), have secondary utility, and have a lethal HEAT warhead for situations where bad luck or inconsistent overpressure effects could occasionally cause a HE warhead to only cause minor damage. With plenty to spare, they can also be ripple-fired in close pairs to double-tap heavily armored targets or cast a wider net to intercept incoming missiles. However they do have some drawbacks as well: the Vikhr has a very narrow FOV for launch authorization and it lacks the raw HE power to destroy clustered targets or on near-misses.

New options are also available in the form of TV-guided weapons, as seen on the [[MiG-27M]]. The heavy Kh-29T AGM can be loaded on the inboard hardpoints. It has an enormous ~150 kg HE warhead and is fire-and-forget, so the Su-25T is completely free to break off after launch. This complements the Vikhrs well. Alternatively the same hardpoints can be used to mount the KAB-500Kr TV-guided bomb, but since they only have slightly more TNT equivalent than the Kh-29T and are unpowered (a major downside when being carried by a subsonic jet), they don't have as much utility.

The returning laser-guided Kh-25/ML and Kh-29L are far more viable than on the original Su-25 because of the advanced targeting systems. Although the [[MiG-27K]] is far better at using them for high-altitude "orbital strikes" because of its superior flight performance, they are fine for low-level attacks too. Amusingly, they can be used in a pinch for air combat: while lacking a proximity fuse, the semi-active laser guidance allows them to lead their targets while the Vikhr's beam riding cannot.

It may be tempting to load all of the Su-25T's hardpoints with ordnance, but because this Frogfoot really does not have any flight performance to spare, it is often more efficient to carry a lighter and less complicated loadout. A combination of Vikhrs and Kh-29Ts is enough to take down most types of ground targets while not requiring excessive micromanagement of the weapon systems. Unguided rockets are a good choice for additional firepower because they are convenient for close-in strafing attacks and can be disposed of quickly to lighten the aircraft.

== Usage in battles ==

The Su-25T Frogfoot is best suited for ground attack in general, using similar low and fast passes, with the new guided munitions coming into play, especially the Vikhr missiles that have the potential to wipe ground units. It's also very survivable thanks to its sturdy airframe. In air battles, you are at a major disadvantage as aircraft you'll usually face have advanced radar missiles, along with pulse-Doppler radars. You will not outrun or catch any opponents. R-60M missiles are still decent, though they have to be conserved and used carefully. You can still dogfight enemies but the majority of vehicles, especially the F-14s, F-16s, and MiG-29s of top tier can still dance around you easily. At best, try to avoid confrontation, fly to the side and low, aiming for ground targets such as AAA, howitzers, and light pillboxes, or bombing bases if you can get there in time. IRCM will help, though it is best to use in tandem with countermeasures, as the IRCM is not guaranteed to spoof missiles, especially at close range.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Slightly upgraded flight performance, with a newer engine
* Engines can be overclocked to 104 percent throttle for extra thrust
* Can equip Kh-29Ts and 9K127 Vihkr missiles for ground attack
* IRCM jammer that can disrupt air-to-air missiles, along with a good amount of countermeasures
* Sturdy airframe, can survive missile hits from Stingers
* Upgraded RWR, can pinpoint radar pings accurately
* Large weaponry option, with different and unique combinations

'''Cons:'''

* Slow aircraft and heavy aircraft, especially with ordnance
* IRCM cannot stop missiles that have IRCCM such as Stingers
* Only two R-60Ms for self-defence
* Can overspeed and overheat the engines if not careful with the throttle
* Mediocre manoeuvrability
* Controls compress at high speeds

== History ==

The Su-25T project was an attempt to create an anti-tank aircraft that would be able to operate both during the daytime and at night, equipped with targeting systems and guided munitions to defeat armored vehicles. The list of equipment for the future aircraft was formalized in 1979, it was based on the Shkval targeting and navigation system and the Mercury television sight. The prototype passed the factory tests in 1987, by 1990 the project was prepared for mass production but due to the collapse of the USSR it did not start. A small batch of completed aircraft took part in the Chechen War in 1996. After the transfer of the production base from Tbilisi, Georgia to Ulan-Ude, Russia, the project was re-focused for export. An export version with slightly different avionics was designated the Su-39. In total, three attack aircraft of this configuration were built. Due to lack of funding, the project was closed.

=== Survivability and armour ===


With this aircraft, you will need to strike hard and strike fast. You'll have to since the Pyörremyrsky only has one spar supporting each wing making it easy to rip them off or be blown off by cannon fire. Additionally, this aircraft doesn't have any protective glass in front of the pilot. Without the bulletproof glass, the pilot is extremely vulnerable when going into a head-on fight or when tailing a bomber trying to get a shot. Not only is the pilot put at risk when doing this, but also both the oil and liquid cooling system have a large chance of being destroyed since it does not have any protection.

== History ==


Pyörremyrsky, meaning ''hurricane'', ''tornado'' or ''whirlwind'' in Finnish (pyörre > vortex/whirl, myrsky > storm), was the name of a Finnish fighter design at the end of WWII. Designed by Torsti Rafael Verkkola (1909-1977), the chief designer of ''Valtion lentokonetehdas'' (VL or 'State Aircraft Factory') and the designer of the previous Myrsky fighter and the Pyry trainer, the Pyörremyrsky was conceived as a domestic equivalent to the Messerschmitt Bf 109G.

=== Design ===
Conceptually, the Pyörremyrsky was very similar to the Bf 109G: it was powered by the same Daimler Benz DB605 engine and had a similar armament, consisting of one hub-mounted 20 mm MG 151/20 cannon and two 12,7 mm hood-mounted machine guns. However, the design was optimized for domestic production, making maximum use of wooden sub-assemblies, and crucially, unlike the Bf 109, it used a wing-mounted landing gear with a wide ground track, giving the design better handling on the ground.

=== Testing ===
Design and construction of the Pyörremyrsky met significant delays, and while the original tender called for a prototype to be ready in May of 1944, it wasn't until November 21st 1945 that the prototype was ready and made its first flight.

The prototype was designated PM-1. PM being its intended type designation and 1 being its airframe number. The designation PM is an abbreviation of '''P'''yörre'''m'''yrsky.

Flight trials of the Pyörremyrsky revealed some minor issues, but other than that, the design was very promising. Performance of the Pyörremyrsky was very similar to that of the Bf 109G, but it had a superior climbing speed and proved to be very agile. One major worry, however, was the quality of the glue used to bind the wooden components.

=== Fate ===
The end of the War saw Finland's military subjected to severe restrictions under the Moscow Armistice, which also called for a reduction of its forces. This limited the air force to only 60 fighter aircraft. As a result, the Pyörremyrsky became surplus before it even reached production as Finland chose to retain the Messerschmitt Bf 109G as its primary fighter for economical reasons. The last of the Finnish Bf 109 G's bowed out of service on March 13th 1954. The sole completed prototype of the Pyörremyrsky was put into storage after its last flight on July 22nd 1947, and stricken from the Finnish Air Force's inventory on April 1st 1953. Fortunately the prototype was preserved: it is now displayed at the Aviation Museum of Central Finland in Tikkakoski.

=== Legacy ===
Fortunately the Pyörremyrsky legacy continued even after the prototype was grounded. In 1948, construction started on a replacement of the VL Pyry trainer. The new design reused the wing design of the Pyörremyrsky in combination with a new fuselage. This aircraft, which was constructed by the successor of VL, Valmet, was named Vihuri (Gale) and first flew on February 6th 1951. The Vihuri prototype was designated VH-1, VH being an abbreviation of '''V'''i'''h'''uri.

After successful tests the Finnish air force ordered 30 aircraft on the 27 of Februari 1951. These were collectively called Vihuri sarja (series) II and carried the numbers VH-2 to VH-31. Series II were entered service in 1953 and this prompted the Finnish air force to order yet another 20 aircraft by autumn 1954. These aircraft were collectively called Vihuri series III and carried the numbers VH-32 to VH-51. All of series III were handed over to the Finnish air force on 15 January 1957.

Unlike the Pyörremyrsky the Vihuri was entirely constructed from metal. As a trainer it was a sound design, however it suffered badly in the engine department. The Vihuri design used old Tampere (Bristol) Mercury engines which had been recuperated from scrapped Bristol Blenheim bombers. These engines were already worn out by the time they were installed on the trainers which lead to a lot of breakdowns. After a string of fatal accidents the design was placed under severe suspicion and in March of 1957 all the Vihuri's were grounded after an accident was caused by structural failure. A subsequent inquest showed this particular accident as well as most of the previous ones were caused by pilots violating the flight safety regulations, taking the aircraft beyond its structural limitations. The Vihuri was returned to service in May of 1957, but following two further fatal accidents in 1959 the type was permanently grounded and stricken from the Finnish Air Force's inventory, with 31 out of 32 surviving airframes being sold for scrap; ironically it was outlasted in service by the Pyry (withdrawing in 1962), the design it was supposed to replace as a trainer. The sole surviving complete Vihuri is now displayed next to the sole surviving Pyörremyrsky at the Tikkakoski air force museum.

{{break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Russian jet fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.31]].

The Yak-15 is arguably one of the most underestimated planes in the game. Although its stat card reveals what would be considered "sub-par" performance and armament, the Yak-15 is both a unique and deadly fighter. Unlike its propeller-driven counterparts, this first generation jet aircraft wields the ability to hold on to energy in a straight line, whereas prop aircraft will slowly lose speed. Holding speed coupled with its excellent rate of turn allows the Yak-15 to defend itself against both propeller and jet-powered fighters, which is what it will typically face in all game modes.

The Yak-15P's major faults include a low top speed, poor acceleration, little armor protection, and small ammunition pool which collectively make this aircraft harder to use than even other first generation jet aircraft such as the [[He_162_A-2|He 162 A-2]], the [[Meteor_F_Mk_3|Meteor F. Mk.3]], and the [[F-80A-5]]. Although it is driven by a jet engine, it is important to recognize the faults and oddities within this aircraft series as they are not representative of the traditional "jet fighter" at all. The Yak-15 is most easily viewed as a late-war [[Yak-3]] powered by a jet engine and with a different armament.

{{main|NS-23K (23 mm)}}

The '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' is armed with:

* 1 x 23 mm NS-23K cannon, nose-mounted (60 rpg)

== Usage in battles ==


In realistic battles, climbing with this aircraft at the start of a match is not always the best course of action, considering how poor the Yak-15's rate of climb is. Instead of the traditional and slow angled climb, the Yak-15 is best used in a "zoom climb" where once enough energy has been built up at a low altitude the Yak-15 pilot will pitch up, thus gaining altitude quickly. This way, if attacked during the first few minutes of the match, the Yak-15 still wields some energy whereas had the Yak-15 been slowly climbing, it would have had to face another aircraft's guns. To shake an enemy, especially a prop driven enemy, dive low to the ground to ensure your assailant's speed only decreases. This dive is called a "speed trap" and is effective when followed by either a "hammerhead" attack or a continuation of the escape. This tactic of utilising the Yak-15's ability to hold on to energy in a straight line is negated when facing other jet aircraft who wield the same ability; however, this is where the Yak-15's dogfighting abilities come into play. Because it is so similar to the Yak-3, the Yak-15 retains some of its manoeuvrability characteristics, namely its turn time. This facet often proves an indispensable one as other first-generation jets will not be able to maintain a tight enough turn circle.

However, the Yak-15P is '''severely''' hampered in its damage output due to its reliance on a single 23 mm NS-23K cannon, with 60 shells total. Expending this pool in seconds is possible. The Yak-15P shares this downfall with aircraft like the [[Ki-200|Ki-200]], and the [[Me_163_B|Me-163]]. Firing in small, accurate bursts negates this and is the most efficient way of destroying enemies. The 23 mm shells these cannons fire are extremely deadly when they hit and often rip enemies apart.

To use the guns most effectively, be close to your target. The reason for this is twofold: First, the limited ammo means you want your shots to count. Being close to your target will give your cannons the highest chance of hitting. The second reason is that of the ballistics of the 23 mm shells - their muzzle velocity is not very high, meaning you have to lead your targets by quite a bit. If you are closer to your mark, you won't have to lead them by quite as much, although still more than most other cannons.

With some practice, it is possible to consistently get about two fighter kills with one load of ammunition in realistic battles. Using the Air Targets belt is the most effective. However, attacking bombers is best left to other planes with more firepower, since the Yak-15 does not have the firepower or ammunition to kill heavy bombers without sustaining massive damage reliably. Heavy fighters such as the [[F7F-1]] may also take longer to destroy than other opponents.

In arcade battles, the Yak-15 is capable of breaking up a "furball" due to its impressive turn time. The turn time coupled with its hard-hitting cannon makes any Yak-15 pilot an indispensable asset to any arcade team.

* Obtaining the "Offensive 23 mm" modification is the best choice as it allows for more flexibility in armament. Next, try to obtain the "compressor" and "engine" upgrades as they both increase engine thrust which is essential in escaping from a dogfight turned sour. Finally, obtain the rest of the performance upgrades as they will all collectively increase top speed, turn time, and rate of climb.

=== Pros and cons ===


'''Pros:'''

* Excellent turn time for a jet fighter
* Good armament
* Outstanding roll rate
* Fairly responsive at higher speeds
* A very visible cockpit , good for spotting

'''Cons:'''

* Slow for a jet fighter
* Low ammunition count
* Poor rate of climb
* Poor acceleration
* Lack of armour protection
* Inability to carry a payload
* Has a very low rip speed

=== In-game description ===
"An all-metal, single-seat fighter equipped with a turbojet engine.

Its development started at the end of World War II, when the Soviet Union captured numerous German components, including Junkers Jumo-004 jet engines. This engine was studied in the USSR, and the Klimov OKB created a domestic counterpart under the designation RD-10. In turn, the Yakovlev OKB used the design to produce a jet fighter based on the latest version of the well-liked Yak-3.

The designers decided in favor of the pod-and-boom layout. A turbojet engine with 900 kg thrust was mounted instead of the old VK-107A piston engine. The engine was inclined so that the jet stream exited underneath the fuselage and wing. The rest of the airframe was left almost unchanged, except for an additional heat shield, made of refractory steel, located in the exhaust section. The aircraft's armament included two Nudelman-Suranov NS-23KM cannons with 60 rounds each. The cannons were housed in the forward fuselage above the engine. The new Yakovlev fighter was originally called the Yak-Jumo but later obtained the designation Yak-15.

The first flight of the Yak-15 was on April 24, 1946, and the plane was launched into full-scale production in the autumn of the same year. Production Yak-15 planes had a different engine, the RD-10, manufactured in the USSR. The service life of the earliest engines was officially claimed to be 25 hours, but in reality it was 17 hours at best. Nevertheless, the Yak-15 was very easy to pilot, and its steering was similar to that of the Yak-3, which had been the basis of its development. As a result, it was decided that although the Yak-15 did not meet the requirements of the Air Force for a modern combat fighter, it was perfectly suitable as a transition from prop to jet aircraft.

In addition to its engine's limited service life, the Yak-15 had a number of distinctive disadvantages. The most commonly encountered defects during its operation included hydraulic fluid leaks (through the sealing rings of the landing gear shock struts), the rupturing of rudder control cable threads, and the deterioration of tail wheel springs (probably caused by overheating). But the Yak-15's main disadvantage was its very short flight range.

Nevertheless, the significance of the Yak-15 in the history of Soviet aviation should not be underestimated. Hundreds of pilots underwent training on planes of this type, and it was the Yak-15 that became the first Soviet jet aircraft officially accepted for service in the Air Force as well as the first jet fighter that enabled military pilots to master advanced aerobatics.

Production of the Yak-15 was discontinued in 1947. In all, 280 planes were constructed."

== Description ==

[[File:GarageImage_{{PAGENAME}}.jpg|420px|thumb|left]]
{{break}}
The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} Russian fighter {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update 1.37]].

The [[Yak-9]] was a Soviet single-engine fighter of the WWII era. It was the first combat aircraft designed by Alexander Yakovlev's construction bureau. The most mass-produced Soviet fighter of the war, it remained in production from October 1942 to December 1948, with a total of 16,769 built.

The Yak-9 was a further modification of the [[Yak-1]] and [[Yak-7B]]. In its core design, it was a redesign of the Yak-7. With few external differences, Yak-9 was at the same time much more advanced internally. This is not unexpected, as almost two years of design and combat experience of the Yak series went into the [[Yak-9]]. Also, at the time aluminium was in much greater supply than it had been two years previously at the start of the war. Amongst other things, the use of metal allowed the plane's weight to be significantly reduced, meaning that more fuel could be stored and that the aircraft could be equipped with more powerful armament and more specialised equipment.

The Yak-9U is a redesign of the [[Yak-9]]. The Yak-9U entered into service in 1943, less than an year before the [[Yak-3]] (even though the Yak-3 is before the Yak-9U in the Tech Tree) and has the same armament (2 x [[Berezin UB (12.7 mm)|Berezin UB]] 12.7 mm with 170 rounds per gun and 1 x [[ShVAK (20 mm)|ShVAK cannon]] with 120 shells). The Yak-9U is faster and more resilient, but also heavier.

The Yak-9U is an up-engined Yak-9 equipped with the M-107A engine. It sports competitive speed, far above average turning and roll abilities, good acceleration, a high dive limit (by USSR standards), and keeps nice and crisp controls from speeds as low as 250 km/h to 750 km/h. It is arguably the most underestimated vehicle rank-for-rank in the game and is often skipped by players who view it as just another Yak-9.

Unlike previous Yak-9s equipped with the VK-105PF engine, the Yak-9U gets a significant upgrade in the form of its M-107A engine (which also happens to be the engine utilized by the premium [[Yak-3 (VK-107)]] and the later [[Yak-9P]]/[[Yak-9UT|UT]]). As such, the Yak-9U is one of the fastest planes at sea level at 4.3 and retains excellent performance up to ~6 km where it can effectively engage higher-speed American and faster climbing German planes. This, combined with the excellent handling and turn-fighting qualities allow the Yak-9U to effectively dictate any engagement- a pilot can turn-fight Bf 109s and P-47s with ease while having the capability to outrun slower yet more manoeuvrable vehicles such as the Spitfire.

At sea level, the Yak-9U can catch most, if not all, planes at 4.3 BR, including the [[P-47 (Family)|P-47]] and [[P-51 (Family)|P-51D]]. Beware, however, as the Yak airframe isn't particularly durable in a dive and will rip at speeds above 750 kph {{Annotation|IAS|Indicated airspeed}}. Thankfully, forcing an opponent down low effectively seals their fate as you and your team perform optimally at low altitude.

== History ==


=== Historical design and development ===
During December 1943, the creation of a new airframe (Yak-9U) allowed the installation of the M-107A engine, which was more powerful than the previous VK-105PF. The engine mount was brand new and included individual faired exhaust pipes, wings, and fuselage structure that was made of metal while the whole aircraft received a covering of Bakelite skin. The horizontal tail surfaces were slightly reduced in order to afford the aircraft improved pitch control. The oil cooler intake was re-positioned from beneath the nose to the port wing root as well as an enlarged radiator bath being moved further aft under the fuselage. A supercharger intake was centred on the top decking of the engine cowling. The rear antenna cable was moved inside a lengthened rear canopy which featured a more aerodynamically refined shape with a modified fuselage deck contour. The The typical armament of the Yak-9U was a 20mm (79 cal) ShVAK cannon with 120 rounds that was fired through the aircraft's hollow propeller shaft, and two 12.7mm (50 cal) Berezin UB machine guns with 340 rounds.

[[File:Yakolev Yak-9U Frank.jpg|thumb|Yakolev Yak-9U Frank]]
January to April 1944 marked the commencement of State trials and revealed that the Yak-9U had a superior top-speed compared to all fighters in service on the Eastern front at 6,000 m (19,685 ft). Unlike the [[I-185 (M-71)|I-185]] the Yak-9U was a much simpler to fly and stable aircraft. Ultimately the M-107A engine inherited all the problems of the VK-105PF engine. The engine was prone to overheating, oil leaks, loss of engine pressure during climbs, spark plugs constantly burning out, and intense vibrations which would fatigue assembly bolts leading to a short engine life. These defects forced the first production batches starting during April 1944 to be powered by the reliable M-105 PF-3 engine. Further changes would include the fuel capacity of the Yak-9U being upgraded to 400L (106 US gal) and in order to re-balance the aircraft, the wings where moved 9.906 centimeters (3.9in) forward and the aircraft's VlSh-107LO propeller being replaced with the older VISH-105S. A total production of 1,134 aircraft where constructed by December 1944.

The model in-game does not sport the production batch's modifications as it is the prototype trial model.
