Better to let the slow plane make that mistake, then pound it from above when it's too slow to climb. A Spifire going around in slow flat circles is a welcome sight to any fast plane
I haven't seen EM charts for yak-3, maybe I will try to find one.
I got bored and drew a couple diagrams about haitch's questions, next time I'm bored I'll scan and post them.

Spitfires have very good energy retention through manoeuvres, and good acceleration/climb, so if an experienced player is flying the Spit you are't likely to catch it low and slow.
