Amazing Grinder - Yak-3 Vk-107 

Everyone talking about how the F7F eats jets for breakfast, but nobody talking about how every F4U eats cannon rounds for dinner and keeps flying like nothing happened.

i prefer the vk-107 over the Yak-3U because it flies better at medium-high alts where the lower IAS means it's tougher to reach compression/wing-rip speeds. shout out to F2G pilots with 145IQ tactics

Meat Crayon you say? 👀 Show me!

13:49-13:55 hardest fight ever against your worst opponent in this game. And you actually won him this time!

Love going on lunch break just in time for a DEFYN video. Always inspires me to hop on and run a few RBs

That aim for the first few mins was impeccable. you've started mentioning the Griffin spits a lot recently, does this mean we might get a vid on one of them sometime soon? If not then please do as no one has shown them off recently.

I used to love this plane. This thing, the 9u, the yak-3 and la-7 are just great all rounders. Definitely my go to Russian planes

So this video convinced me to buy the plane, and I've been learning a lot. It's in just the right spot of sort of being a forgiving jack of all trades without just handing me wins. Holds energy very well, and can turn with Spitfires in a pinch, but won't outturn everything. Accelerates well, but compresses if I'm not careful. Climbs stupidly well, but gets outclassed above 5kish. Powerful nose mounted cannons with low ammo reward careful aim and securing the best solution I can. It's good enough at everything to make up for my mistakes but just unforgiving enough to force me to learn. Well, that and all the ju 288s in that BR are great practice for target prioritization, like am I in a spot where I can get him out now before he climbs to space at hypersonic speeds, or is someone about to dive on me because they're using their lobotomized teammates as bait? Funny story though is buying eagles for it is the first time I ever spent money on the game. I didn't know how much it cost, I just bought a chunk of eagles that seemed reasonable based on the 260 hours I'd already put in at the time. Then I bought it and realized I'd just spent $30something on one plane 🙃

Let's be real the way that Ki-83 was behaving at 15:34 was kinda sus.

I am blown away by your aim... I'm not even average after all theses years and everytime I take a break for a few weeks, my aim goes back to trash and here I am missing 90% of my shots :(

I love the subtle passes at SpitFlyer for the F7F thing.

i just love the fact that when i started playing the yaks and doing research about them their engines and advantages defyn just uploads full yak episodes about the yak3u then my favorite yak3 and now the super yak

Oh god, I was waiting for this vid for so long ! thanks a lot !

Been hoping to see this one for a while, love the great videos Defyn

I like your puns between a serious fight. And its getting sussier

Yo thx Defyn for this vid its amazing seeing how you play this!

When I fly any of the Yak-3's I feel like I have the tools to counter every single opponent. If I die in it, it's all my fault.

DEFYN I think you should do a series where you dogfight subscribers, would be very entertaining and challenging. Would also be good content to review the dogfights and see how much we have learnt from your channel!

One of my favorite planes, but 3U is still top G My sky Bugatti is grey

Man I love your commentary. It's great entertainment ^^

Hell Yeah! Ive asked Spitflyer to do a Vid on it, still waiting for that. But finally some updated content. Great Video

I like that pause when your teammate shooting your way and you cant believe that someone flew under your radar

man i love your voice. i could listen to you all day long! also your content is as nice as your voice! only thing we need is a decal now.

The issue with passive high level players is that they usually check the profile of who they're going to engage. Since I'm only level 29 and only play French planes they often think I'm a free kill, get careless, and make a lot of mistakes, only awarding them a faster hangar return opportunity. Your VTE tag + your account probably makes them hesitant to engage so you get a lot more of passive fights

My biggest fear is getting killed by defyn and him putting it's on RU-vid

Yak in a nutshell : "reduce speed"

the "mom" joke must continue

Can't wait for the Yak-3U video!

Amongus

was actually thinking of picking this thing up recently and now I just might have to....dammit defyn!

Ahhh, yes, the usual breakfast for an f7f-jets😂😂😂💀

ki behaved correctly. He saw at 1.9km that he cannot catch you, he didnt want to equalize energy so he break off

Hi defyn, what do you think about a challenge series where you play some of the worst planes and try to work with what you got? I think it'd be cool to see how you'd try to play around the many weaknesses of a plane. Keep up the great vids!

"....a matter of cleaning up." 😂

I got this plane about 2 years ago. I think i had a coupon for it, or it was a sale, but I got it relatively cheap (more than 50% off), that's why i even brought it. I know i barely ever flew it, do to back than the Russian 20mm was like: lot of sparks but not much damage (I was using the ground belt). But its ammo was very limited, so 1.5 - 2 kills were the standard, before i had to RTB; if I still had a team that is, so i could. + I think its the only "all metal" Yak-3 in the game.

I love the Yak-3, but I can't afford this one. I love watching your videos thou because I learn so much, I just need to practice a lot. Thank you.

Gaijin again disabled chat to prevent Defyn to provoke other players into attacking him 😂

Shame is premium, loved to fly this UFO on Il2 1946 pure speed beast. Thanks for the video Defyn, I think it was wanted a lot.

Epic!

Very entertaining video. When I can, I'll buy after I get a good gaming laptop

gg

Glad I'm not the only one to check a player's stat sheet when I'm about to engage them lol, just like to know whether to expect a decent fight or not

AMOGUS

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOO 2 OF MY FAVORITE PLANES COVERED

My first premium I bought years ago when the is4 was the top tier ussr tank still one of my favorites

Hey defyn you once said that you were going to bring the re 2005 on the channel, are you still planning to do so? It would be dope since nobody has covered that plane in years and it looks aesthetically amazing. Cheers from Maastricht, love your content

What MEC settings were you using I find that the engine it uses overheats a lot on auto but I don’t know the MEC set up for it

This plane is broken, original Yak-3 with this engine was awesome - but one issue was there - massive overheating even on "normal" power. Here WEP all the time and no overheating.

I would buy this in a heart beat but at like 6k ge that's ridiculous. It should be like 3500 tops

I saw u using Manuel engine control, could you make something like a tutorial?

I’m a level 29 with 8.7 F-86f-25 is that good spent 15 bucks overall on some starter packs I have 330 hours is that good?

Hi dfyn would you flight the yak3p with the 3x 20mm?

Can’t wait for p51 h pls maybe do a duel with the mk24 with the 51h with it too would be lit

❤

Video 14 of asking for F4U1C or F4U4

Hey DEF; the Ki-83 at around 18:00---how do you know he didn't recognize you and decide to try and beat you at the Patience Game? Especially if he was ahead on points. I'd do it...but I'm kinda trolly towards so-called "experts." (In your case, you're a *real* expert, but I'd still have a strong urge to "pull the lion's tail."😅) I'm curious if opponents ever try to use your reputation against you? Also, the Yak-3/107...it's a bit OP; they don't seem to include any of the IRL problems which came with stuffing that super-powerful (for WW2 Russia, anyway) engine into such a small airframe. There were over-torque problems with the prop; the cooling system was somewhat inadequate, and the oil pressure tended to spike. This meant a lot of engine boilovers and seal failures/oil leakage. That's why they decided in the end not to produce this variant, and keep the VK-107 in the Yak-9 instead.

I would love to see you playing the Javelin, there are no videos about it that aren't from 3 years ago :/

The chat at 5:05 is equal to: It's just unnatural what he did with his guns. I made him fight for it 100%. All I know is a plane's guns dont fire like that xDD

Try armored targets. Works Very well and set a lot of fires.

You're not the only one experiencing weird damage models, hit the right tail of an F-82 the other day with the 30mm in the D-12 no less than two times, watched the shell literally detonate in the tail, and it kept flying perfectly fine. Or yesterday where I dumped a lot of 20mm into a Mk9 firing perpendicular to my 190 A-5... "critical hit" but he keeps flying just fine. At least the Pe8s still die to 20/30mm, Ground RB would be unplayable if they didn't.

Straight up shat on the KI-83

Can you do an F7F video again? Thanks for the content you're great!

So what Im hearing is I should buy the vk107

yes

he hit him with the hmm in the end xd

Lmao at the confusing perspective in the thumbnail.

Is there a Plane that you actually struggle with? I‘m not talking about Hunter F1/ FGA / F6 kind of struggle (although I‘d literally shove a broom up my ass for me to watch that). Like: is there a Plane you cannot just obliterate everybody else because you just struggle with how it flies, how it shoots etc

0:38 God's slowest free bird listener

can anyone teach me the set-up for MEC for the vk107, it went overheat quite easily, but I'm afraid to do MEC because i dont know the best set-up

You had the chance to call him Carlos Sainz at 6:32. Unlucky

what ammo type is the best to use?

Play the Yak9U again🤝

15:34 ඞ

Make a vid about the Bf109 G-14

MEC TIP FOR YAK9U and Yak 3 vk107 93 prop pitch 30oil/water radiator 3000m supercharger 2 Infinite wep and never overheat

You should review the J2M4 Kai (premium Japan)

is there a way we can get your in game decal?

How come your engine is not overheating when you using WEP almost all the time?

I really wish to see you fight randoms who actually knows what they are doing

Not to sh*ttalk the Ki-83, for the one energy mistake he kept making, there were multiple times he broke off due to risk of equalizing energy. But he did leave teammates to die once or twice and that's what sealed the deal.

i never had a problem dealing with 2 Yak-3Us with LF spitfire tho. that UFO is stronger than 3U imo.

15:34 among os

this thing grinds better than the gals dancing to Bad bunny at the club at 4AM

buddy breaks off at 2k out and says YOUR running 🤣

That aim though, have you ever done a video about improving aim, or how you do it??

Lol nubs who get all pissed off in chat make my day. Actually laugh out loud at them.

21:59 God forbid you have to wait 10 more seconds for a kill

What belts do you use for the cannons?

That aim tho

This thing in a sim game is fucking juicy

god damn f7f jokes man

G'day there. What climb speed for this thing? I returned recently to the game and I remember 275, but I am not exactly sure.

This Yak's don't rip their wings off , something is completly wrong the last days . I got almost ovetaken by a Yak 9 in my Me262 at 800kph at low altitude , I watched the replay and he dives down on me with 790kph no problem . We were at 500m , it's just ridicolous how fast props can fly at low altitude in WT .

op shit

2:30 hahahaha

can you please fly the p51d5 or d20

This plane is so fun, until u get a game with 9x Hut on 6 enemies and leave with only 1 assist And shit like that happened very often. But I defyn just said Russian 20s were buffed, so maybe I should try this again after returning to the game

i am yak. fighter. my engine is ringing, the sky is my abode, but the one who sits in me thinks that he is a fighter ...

15:35
