== Description ==
 
<!--''In the description, the first part needs to be about the history of and the creation and combat usage of the aircraft, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the aircraft in the game. Insert screenshot of the vehicle. If the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, he will immediately understand what kind of vehicle it is talking about.''-->

=== Survivability and armour ===
 
<!--''Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured. Describe the armour, if there is any, also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.''-->

== Armaments ==
 
=== Offensive armament ===
 
<!--''Describe the offensive armament of the aircraft, if any. Describe how effective the cannons and machine guns are in a battle, and also what belts or drums are better to use. If there is no offensive weaponry, delete this subsection.''-->
 
{{main|B-20 (20 mm)|NS-23 (23 mm)|N-37 (37 mm)}}
 
 
The Yak-9P is armed with:
 
 
* A choice between three different cannon, the 20 mm B-20M, 23 mm NS-23, or the 37 mm N-37:
 
** 1 x 20 mm B-20M cannon, nose-mounted (115 rpg)
 
** 1 x 23 mm NS-23 cannon, nose-mounted (75 rpg)
 
** 1 x 37 mm N-37 cannon, nose-mounted (28 rpg)
 
* 2 x 20 mm B-20S cannon, nose-mounted (120 rpg = 240 total)
 
 
<!--=== Suspended armament ===
 
''Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.''
 
 
=== Defensive armament ===
 
''Defensive armament with turret machine guns or cannons, crewed by gunners. Examine the number of gunners and what belts or drums are better to use. If defensive weaponry is not available remove this subsection.''
 
-->
 
== Usage in the battles ==
 
<!--''Describe the tactics of playing in an aircraft, the features of using vehicles in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).''-->
 
When stock, the Yak-9P will be pretty similar to the Yak-3P. Three 20 mm cannons which are good taking down fighters and heavy fighters, but its still quite hard to kill big targets such like B-17. When unlocking the 23 mm cannon, the damage is higher, but it carries significantly less ammo than the 20 mm. However, when equipping the 37 mm cannon, the effectiveness of the fighter increases significantly, having weaponry close to MiG-9 or MiG-15. The 37 mm cannon has an excellent rate of fire, won't jam easily, has great accuracy and carries a good amount of ammo. A single hit can kill a fighter or heavily damage it, and big bombers like B-17s will be killed with one or two hits on a wing.
 
 
The Yak-9P is best when used in turn fights and boom and zoom attacks, but speeds of 700 km/h or higher can end on low control response (making it hard to recover) and wings breaking. It can climbs best at 20 degrees and 10-15 above 4000 m. It has great engine performance and will sightly overheat after long WEP use, but will cool down quickly when reducing to just 85-90% throttle.
 
 
One rather unique feature of the Yak-9P is the modification possibility for ones own liking. The default setup is has got a centerline B-20M. It is virtually the same as the B-20S and utilizes the same belts OR one can switch out the 20 mm for a nasty 23 mm. The suggested modification by many pilots. The NS-23 has similar ballistics to the installed 20 mm cannons but packs more punch. Fortunately the rate of fire is lower for the NS-23 and both arms will run out of ammunition at roughly the same time. For the fellow pilots who still dreams of the [[Yak-9T]]: The 37 mm ''"howitzer"'', it is a deceptive package though! The N-37 is not the NS-37 from the Yak-9T and lacks any decent anti-armour shells, losing 20 mm of penetration. Two shells were also lost from the 9T, but on the bright side it still delivers painful HE warheads to the enemy.

Four upgrades are of importance: ''Offensive 20 mm'', ''Compressor'', ''Engine'' and ''Engine Injection''. During this grind the second weapons profile (NS-23) can be easily be obtained without wasting time or XP.
 
 
=== Pros and cons ===
 
<!--''Summarize and briefly evaluate the vehicle in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark its pros and cons in the bulleted list. Do not use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - they have a substitution in the form of softer "inadequate", "effective".''-->
 
 
'''Pros:'''
 
* Very fast
 
* Powerful armament
 
* Good energy retention, vertical & horizontal
 
* Decent rate of climb
 
 
'''Cons:'''
 
* Can't reach speeds as high as other aircraft during dives (such like F7F, F8F, P-51)
 
* Not very nimble at speeds lower than 300 km/h
 
* Very high repair costs
 
 
== 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 big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.''
 
 
== Media ==
 
''An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.''
 
 
== Read also ==
 
''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example,''
 
* ''reference to the series of the aircraft;''
 
* ''links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.''
 
<!--''ETC.''-->
 
 
== Sources ==
 
''Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:''
 
* ''topic on the official game forum;''
 
* ''page on aircraft encyclopedia;''
 
* ''other literature.''
