-The Pe-3bis has similar handling characteristics as its predecessor, the Pe-3. It isn't a very manoeuvrable aircraft, and has mediocre handling characteristics even for a twin-engined heavy fighter. The plane can attain a top speed of roughly 430 kph at sea level when spaded, and up to 530 kph at higher altitudes. This means that the aircraft is much slower than most enemy single-engine fighters and some of its twin-engined brethren (for example, the [[Me 410 A-1|Me 410]]). The plane also has a slow climb rate, meaning that gaining altitude is always going to be a pain.

 This aircraft benefits from having control surfaces that are relatively large and responsive. In particular, the aircraft's roll rate is actually quite satisfactory for an aircraft of its size. However, being a heavy fighter, the Pe-3bis suffers from relatively bad energy retention and turning capacity. The aircraft is equipped with leading-edge slats which can help improve manoeuvrability, but still cannot out-manoeuvre almost every single-engine fighter it faces at the BR. The aircraft suffers from slight control-surface lockup at higher speeds, but this isn't severe enough to prevent the aircraft from pulling out from a steep dive.

 The new Pe-3bis aircraft began entering service in early 1942, serving alongside previous Pe-3 aircraft in reconnaissance, patrol and convoy escort missions. A single Pe-3 was captured by the Finnish, who renamed it the Pe-301 and used it as a reconnaissance platform as well. A total of 152 Pe-3bis aircraft were produced.

 Pe-3/Pe-3bis fighters were in service only with the Air Force of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and naval aviation. As part of the Air Force of the Northern Fleet, several planes outlasted the war and served until 1946, and the final Pe-3s survived up to the beginning of the 50s.
