Impossible. The Yak-3 would completely out roll the Spitfire, or Hurricane anyday. Their constant need for having guns in the wings, just drops their roll rate, and the Yak could just roll or nose down into a dive without worry. Then again, the Spitfire/Hurricane would probably lose the Yak-3 due to lousy visibility in the cockpit. Unlike the Yak-3 pilot which could keep a keen eye on the Spitfire/Hurricane, due to the great visibility.
