Unlike Lavochkins and Yak-9U, which are overmodeled, all VK-105 powered Yaks have very good FM. They match historical performance very well. And yes, the Yak-3 was a truly excellent plane in RL too. It had somewhat less maneuverability than earlier models, but it is compensated by far superior speed and climb.
