In my opinion, talking of performances alone is somewhat misleading and, at least, incomplete. As different as different sources are, there is a general consensus that Mig3 was inferior than Bf109 at low altitude, but superior at high. In real world, pilots accepted favourable or unfavourable conditions depending on tactical needs. Mig pilots flew low even if their planes were not well suited for it, because they need to do that. On a server, in a game, it’s different. Two simmers flying those planes, at what altitude should meet? The 109 would stay low, the Mig 3 would stay high, and simply they never meet.
Tactical situations and mission objectives are as important as performances and more.
