What with? You have to catch me to kill me, or be pretty good at snap shots, and the closest even a La-7 comes to matching performance with a 109K4 is below 5000ft where it is slightly faster in a straight line and only slightly worse at climbing. Above this the gap grows quite rapidly, with the K4 having 40mph top speed and over 1000ft climb per min over a La-7 at 20,000ft. The gap in performance to a Yak 3 is even bigger.

Tell you what though, if you want a TnB fight I'll fly a Spitfire XVI and you can fly a Yak-3. Pretty good match up, I think you would agree.
