Re: Questions about the Yak-9M
Maybe it is just true that Russians relied in numbers above quality more then other war parties:P ?
Look at T-34's ongoing production etc. ... Look at Germany still producing the 109G-6 in mid 1944... similar! This philosophy follows the idea "Many dogs are the bunnies death"... and additionally, there were still a lot of La5F /FN / 7, which have better performance.

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.
