Something I learned when flying the A-20 Havoc bomber. It was in an online war against another Squadron. The A-20 is a 100 to a 150 km/h (60 to 90 mph) faster then any Japanese fighter that wanted to intercept us. But it is also twice as heavy. So, if you do anything like pulling up, or making a turn, you loose much more energy then the Japanese fighters and they will catch you in a very short period of time.
I think the same tactics apply to this situation. The jet-bomber should be tricked into manouvring so he will lose energy. This gives the prop-fighters an oppertunity to catch him. Remember, prop driven aircraft can accelerate also faster then jet aircraft in the game. The Jet-bomber that "creamy" encountered, should also have known this, but probably didn't see you anymore and thought it was safe to make a turn.
