Yak-3 vs Fw-190 A3 would be a killer dogfight to see.
La-5F vs Me109 F2 would also be a great dogfight to see.

In my experience online, the F2-F4 always won a dogfight if the LA didn't break off and try to get away. It seemed to turn a bit better at low speed.
The later models (G2 is still ok) of 109 just got too fat and useless for mixing it up and I never used them for anything but boom-n-zoom and I considered the FW190's superior for that job.
I think yak-3 vs FW190 A3 is a bit too much in yak's favor, at least in game. Seemed to me the Yak had every advantage - it even rolls with the FW. I never engaged yak3's in game beyond a 90 deg turn in a FW. Best hope is to suprise them when playing cockpit only servers.
