Not at at all. You have combat in 1944 when the US fighter from altitude attack Soviet fighters in the South Serbia. US have P-38 and no matter of the advantage they suffer heavy losses in combat against Yak-3. I could try to get more info in my papers if you are interesting.
82nd FG lost two P-38s against 3 Yaks, so I am not sure your remark heavy losses is appropriate, not in this case of a dogfight over Nis airfield at least.
