Probably the best WW2 fighter plane.

@tuunee1 it depends, the planes were made for different purposes. The yak3 was designed as a pure air superiority fighter that performs best below 15000 ft. The p51 was designed as a high altitude bomber escort fighter, so fuel capacity alone made it notably heavier than the yak. It probably could not out turn the yak, but it was about 30 mph faster so hit and run or boom zoom attacks are very possible. All in all, it comes down to the pilot.

LoL
they are totally different and Yak-3 is much far superior than P51 even if it doesn't have same British Merline engine :))

@goshawk 73: in fact the yak 3 was built BEFORE the p 51,maybe the russians gave blueprints o norht american? :)
One of the greatest planes and one of my favorites... As I am already loving Russian aircraft since I am an aerobatic pilot, I fly an Su-26 (Cy-26)... Very great aircraft..
