Well, a few thing should be pointed out with regards to your starting parameters.

What attitude to we start in? Neutral? Head to head? Tail to tail?

Just because we start at 20-30K doesn't mean we stay there.

The Yak-3 was in fact more advanced than the Yak-9, so I'd like to take that if I could, even though the Yak (neither one) couldn't make it above 20K do to lack of supercharger. Judging purely by my online flightsim stick time, the Stang has an advantage in speed and firepower, but most come to the merge with too much smash, allowing me to force them into an overshoot. If the opponent is good (or more properly, better than I am), they would just wait for me to become a fuel mort.
