Agreed.

When a base is being capped and the vulch bell is lit I will up the Yak-3 and help bust the cap. It is not quite the F-16 of AH but close. Basically, point the nose where you want to go and out do virtually everything in game. In real life, I've read others note how the Luftwaffe advised 109 and 190 pilots to avoid combat with the Yak-3 if possible. It would seem the Wizards of Grapevine have modeled this one close.

The Yak 3 is the Micheal Jackson of Aces High. It can dance and sing like none other, but when it tries to hurt you it is more apt to tickle that deliver a kockout punch.
