Conversely however, the Yak-23 is not only a good bomber hunter but also an excellent fighter. No jet can accelerate with the Yak-23 below 800 kph and no jet in the Yak-23's BR bracket can climb with it unless it has a massive energy advantage; thus, the Yak-23 has full reign over the vast majority of opponents it meets.

Description

GarageImage Yak-23.jpg


The Yak-23 is a rank V Soviet jet fighter with a battle rating of 8.7 (AB/RB) and 7.7 (SB). It was introduced in Update 1.75 "La Résistance".

The Yak-23 is a Soviet single-engined jet fighter initially designed to intercept high altitude, long range bombers such as the B-29. As such, it has an extremely light airframe and relatively powerful jet which gives it an enormous thrust-to-weight ratio, making it one of the best climbing/accelerating jets in War Thunder.

Conversely however, the Yak-23 is not only a good bomber hunter but also an excellent fighter. No jet can accelerate with the Yak-23 below 800 kph and no jet in the Yak-23's BR bracket can climb with it unless it has a massive energy advantage; thus, the Yak-23 has full reign over the vast majority of opponents it meets.

The Yak-23 cannot carry any ordinance and is thus subjugated to purely fighter duties. However, it is by far the strongest fighter/bomber interceptor at its BR, and should be used accordingly.

Survivability and armour

  • 57 mm Bulletproof glass in cockpit front.
  • 8 mm Steel plate behind the pilot.

Armaments

Offensive armament

Main article: NR-23 (23 mm)

The Yak-23 is armed with:

  • 2 x 23 mm NR-23 cannons, nose-mounted (90 rpg = 180 total)

Usage in battles

Light airframe + powerful engine = Yak-23. The Yak-23 is similar to a jet Yak-3 in that it has a ridiculous >.5 thrust-to-weight ratio.

On that note, always take minimum fuel (9 min). Fuel forms a significant part of the Yak-23's mass and high fuel loads and fuel loads greater than min. fuel will severely dampen the Yak-23's performance. Ammo is limited enough as it is so extra fuel should not be necessary anyway.

Tactics

One should fight purely in the vertical and utilize the Yak-23's excellent maneuverability to take careful shots and stay out of the line of enemy guns. Energy-conserving chandelles and stalls are by far the most effective tactics to utilize as they best use the Yak-23's insane acceleration and climb rate.

The G.91 is by far the greatest threat to the Yak-23, as it is a small target, faster, and has high-velocity quick-firing Browning M3 machine guns that will make quick work of the Yak-23. That, combined with its excellent roll rate makes it exceedingly difficult to hit with the low-velocity 23 mm mounted on the Yak-23.

I Fuselage repair Offensive 23 mm

III Wings repair New 23 mm cannons
IV Engine Cover

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Climb rate unrivaled by anything except rocket-powered aircraft
  • Acceleration at <800 kph unrivaled by anything except rocket-powered aircraft
  • Guns are excellent when they work
  • Excellent maneuverability

Cons:

  • Plane wobbles badly while maneuvering above 700 kph
  • Sparkle-guns with low velocity and fire rate
  • Small ammunition pool
  • Stealth belt is entirely composed of AP rounds

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 the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === Encyclopedia Info ===, also if applicable).

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
