It is not possible to gain superiority without altitude performance. It is a principle of aircombat that did not change since WWI. Germans lost the airwar on the west and this influenced situation on the east. Quality and performance of Soviet aircraft had nothing to it.
Myths concerning ground attack aircraft is another long story!
