Re: Questions about the Yak-9M

According to Stepanjez the Yak-9M was a Yak-9T hull with Yak-9D wings. More over the Yak-M9 had much improvements like citate above.

So a Yak-9M could be used with the armament of Yak-9T or a similar range as Yak-9D and this seems to be a kind of multirole or also workhorse.

Maybe perfomances of Yak-9M wasn't so bad if you consider that combats were mostly flown with nominal power or "Kampf und Steigleistung". Maybe we overestimate usage of WEP of the 1944 warbirds.
