I just figured, that it would be better to put all the Soviet Aircraft questions (anything question(s) you have). Just so we don't have everything being asked in one thread and another. Keep it orderly.
Anyway, responding to David's post about the Yak-3 and FW-190 roll rate. In my book, and several others I have. The Yak-3 was even with the earlier FWs ie FWA2-3-4-5. But once they came out with the later ones that were bomber capable. Their roll rate wasn't as good as before, and the Yak-3s could tear into them. (I really wish I had a scanner so I could show some pages.)
