  • a Yakovlev Yak-38 taking-off vertically, one of the only few fixed-wing aircraft capable of doing so in Soviet inventory.

Part-Efficient Aircrafts~!!


weeknd cheeseposting.. oh sorry, would chii-seposting work? :3

anyway, it's a part of a bigger project, I know it looks like a "not-deer" version of a Yak-38 but bear(haha, rushian gwarr) with me, i just wanted a neat VTOL that works similar to the Harrier I made back when, and it kinda does? I mean lighter-armed sure, but hey, works.

no, I'm not working on an aircraft carrier, nor the Aircraft-Carrying Heavy Cruiser "Kiev" you shxt the up bhWHAHHH

god I need my obsession with that thing checked, cause I only got a glance of it and suddenly I want one to play around with the digitally-adept potato I have. I HAVE TO MAN, I CAN'T JUST MAKE THE SHIP AND NOT GIVE IT JUSTICE BY NOT HAVING THE AIRWINGS IT HAS.

Miss E you're partly responsible for this, God that MRNS Galina is so good.. I wanna try the other bigger ones but my device says otherwise lmao, so potato Kiev it is!

WAIT, I'M NOT BUILDING ONE, THAT WAS A MISSPEAK, YOU DO NOT HEAR ANYTHING, THE GREAT USSR IS NOT WORKING WITH MIS-CHII-EF TO MAKE A KIEV YOU SHUT UP MOUTH THE- *THWACK-*

yes, I came with the mis-chii-ef on the spot.. makes me wanna just.. jump it to Miss-chii-ef so it's a quad stack lmfao, Miss+Chii+Chief+Mischief y'know? God it's so stupid but I'll be. hah

anyway, per "ustal"(that's russian for "tired"), enjoy the not-deer yak lmfao


The Yakovlev Yak-38 (Russian: ??????? ??-38; NATO reporting name: "Forger") was Soviet Naval Aviation's only operational VTOL strike fighter aircraft in addition to being its first operational carrier-based fixed-wing aircraft. It was developed specifically for, and served almost exclusively on, the Kiev-class aircraft carriers(heavy aviation cruiser in Russian classification).

|[ Controls ]|

  • Standard Aircraft Controls
  • Yaw : Turn(on air and ground)
  • AG1 : VTOL Mode

|[ Guidelines ]|

|[ Taxiing ]|

  • 2-4% Power, Yaw to turn

|[ Takeoff ]|

  • Full Throttle, whether standard or VTOL(AG1) Takeoff, adjust appropriately.

|[ Flight ]|

  • Standard Aircraft Controls, there are slight instability regarding the roll(it's kinda autoroll, but only when you roll a bit sideways).

|[ Landing ]|

  • AG1 to VTOL Mode, cruise upwards to the landing pad, slow down, 67-71% to control descent to soft landing.

|[ why no normal landing tutorial ]|

  • this thing has way too high of a landing speed, you go figure, I can't.

|[ Armaments ]|

  • 2x Kh-23 Anti-Ship Missile, 10km(6.21mil), Mach 2.02(694m/s, 2,276ft/s)
  • 2x R-60M Air-to-Air Missile, 6km(3.72mil), Mach 2.43(830m/s, 2,713ft/s)

|[ Notes ]|

  • yes, I had a thought of just remaking it less-exact and simple because higher part = more lag(on most cases), I also had the idea of naming it Yor-38... you know.. Forger? Yor Forger? shut it, I know it's cheesy, but if it's gonna be not-deer, might as well make it.. gouda eh? okay that's a low-hanging fruit I know
  • no, I'm not working on a Kiev.
  • I'm not.
  • ask the Soviets.
  • anyway... I'm just displeased by the cockpit if I'm being honest, nose gear and all. my PEA style of ommiting the cockpit glass also doesn't do it.. well. gotta stick to tradition, don't wanna get stabbed by warchii for making later aircrafts impossible to make because glasses cost parts

  • @Thecatbaron for the G-Limiter, works alright, though i could probably use better ones

    @LunarEclipseSP is fine, it's actually the opposite, I'm bloody thankful someone points out my lack of experience and flaws, I'll try better next time ;3

    @Monarchii Another issue with this aircraft is as I figured and edited the VTOL engine, the aircraft is still unstable because it somehow heavy at behind, or else, like it sometimes lighter and even heavier. While I switch to horizontal flight mode, it flies upside down and easily crash. the mass of this aircraft is unclear and questionable. That's it is so hard to use this aircraft for my future ship build. Sorry if my critics is too spicy and bitter for your heart because it is the reality.

    @Monarchii I guess, as I try to convert it into a weapon aircraft like the harrier from this aircraft carrier, it goes nothing but just worsley unstable like uncontrollable quick-maneuver spinning and others.

    @LunarEclipseSP it's the high takeoff speed isn't it? and I suppose the uhh.. transition isn't as smooth as I'd like it to be kek XD

    Unfortunately due to a certain condition, I am unable to use this jet for my next future ships because of it's complex mechanism. Everytime I'm trying to convert it into a weapon, it is becoming unstable. Sorry about that, mate. But don't worry there's still low parts builds that i can utilize with

    @Fiat133 At least you have the title for your memoir:

    @Monarchii yeah
    remind me sometime to get you a recipe, my time zone is chicago so i’ll tell to you after school (or when i have a moment), around 16:00-17:00.

    Btw, we use a ton of ice, like put it to the most you can put. It helps with digestion.
