Jets should not be allowed to battle with prop airplanes.

Have dispatched many a jet with my humble props. 

Jets have problems turning....props don't....use that advantage against jets.

 

By the time i turn they'r out of range.

Watch the mini-map, when the jet comes for you, face him, just as he closes on you his 'health bar' appears over his plane, press fire for half a second and pull up hard, he will run into your shots and that will shave some health off him, keep in the upward turn,he'll be like a flying brick and can't turn to match you, he will pass under you, but as you are already half way through your turn, you can be on him before he streaks away, Sometimes he gets away with most of his health gone but keep your eye on the mini-map when he goes out of range, turn away from him to entice him for a second pass.

The second you see him turn back towards you turn to meet him again and repeat step one and two = dead jet

 

Great tips,thanks.Iv'e just discovered my planes have flaps,just getting used to using them.cheers.

Some planes with props are just as fast as Jet planes. When you start getting to jet planes and rocket planes you really need to start learning the strengths and weaknesses of the aircraft around you. 

in t7 where jets appear due to MM, they are not rely faster then prop planes so it realy dont make any difference.

as i see it there are 3 jets you need to watch out for, yak15, j8m, rb17.

 

yak cuz it is a Zero in top tier(you will never win the turnfight unless you dmg its wings or engine), j8m cuz its huge speed and small target(ingame it is a damn annoying BnZ that dont realy kill stuff) and rb17 cuz it is too fast compared to other bombers.

ironicly j8m and rb17 are gold planes.

 

262 is just an irritation not worth your time to even notice. you can never match its altitude but it wont kill anything but bombers due to crappy guns.

 

by the time you grind yourself into t8 you will notice that thouse few remaining prop planes has qualitys that jets do not have.
