Well, it has a Yak-1 canopy. Now I know they couldn't make every canopy etc. but it's just kinda sad because they added the cockpit which is on every Yak besides the Yak-3. The Yak-1,7, and 9 all had a mullion, which is the metal strips in the canopy in front. The Yak-3 didn't have that, which increased the forward visibility for the pilot. I'm sure they could easily put the Yak-3 canopy in a DLC!!

Yak-1B Mullion


Yak-3 No Mullion


As you can see, the Yak-3 pilot has nothing obstructing his forward view.
