The Yak-3's problem here is that the faster, quicker climbing plane in any confrontation gets to choose which game both will play. That's why I love flying planes like the 109K and Spitfire XIV myself.

That's true to a sense, but just look at the Zero and the way they fought. They were light, fast, and maneuverable, but they chewed the American Wildcats, and P-40s up because of their low and quick tactics. I think it just depends on the situation really?
