Russia vs Japan match, the most difficult matchup for the Russians!

Most Russian aircraft only have the speed advantage over the Japanese, and that's difficult and time consuming to use to your advantage when you're alone. However, when you have teammates who know what they are doing, speed becomes a powerful trait especially against the slow Japanese.

Yak9U is a great 4.3 BR fighter that often gets overlooked (including me). It has the essentially the same performance as the Yak9P which is a decent fighter at 5.0 BR, with only the armament that differs. It's a pretty good deal for the BR.

Yak9U is probably the best Russian aircraft to counter Japan at this tier due to its speed and climb and low and medium altitude.
