Any Yak is good. Be aware of the need to manually control the mixture and supercharger with any Klimov powered aircraft (Yak, LaGG). The Yak 3 is the best performing Yak, and fairly well armed. But the 9T, or any aircraft with a 30mm weapon or greater is lethal based on this alone.
Cruise: 2300 RPM (about 85% prop pitch)
Combat/Climb: 2800 RPM
2200m: Stage 2 supercharger, 80% Mixture.
4000m: 60% Mixture
Also, regardless of what you may read, with these settings the Yak is an awesome performer at 4 and 5000m, so don't be afraid to mix it up with 190's and 109's at higher altitudes. Basically, don't intentionally yield an altitude advantage because some paper or book said "the Yak performs best at 1500m" or other BS.
Enjoy your Yak.
