Yak 3P is overrated garbage if your enemy isnt eating crayons in the corner. Above 4500 meters it really struggles noticeably, you cant dive faster than anything you'll face regularly, D-30s, N-15s, D-28s, D-10s, Griffons will all pull with you or faster than you in a high speed dive and out roll you above 450 km/h. Your guns are hit or miss outside of 400 meters if they'll spark or not and so on. Its great if youre fighting anyone brain dead, but once you face a disciplined opponent (smart corsiars are your WORST nightmare) you are out of options.

Edit: I say garbage, but thats not true, its just super overrated these days.

Yeah, it's like Dash Bringin- the trash sli-, oh never mind, the HashSlingSlasher put it, the plane is a bit overrated. The only reason people think it's super op is because of the guns. Keep in mind ShVAKs can spark a lot, but 3 of them is still good. The issue with this thing is that at 5.3, late 109 Gustavs start to appear, and those things will totally outperform you, they're faster, climb better, can do better at altitude, and even have leading edge slats. I mean go for it if you want, just keep in mind your opponents.
