I wouldn't shoot my teammate down. Kill "stealing" happened. He's worth more alive than one dead enemy. In reality, pilots often made contact in just 1/10 flights, and even the top aces shot down aircraft only on occasion.
As for performance, it helps to know that 100% power and 100% prop pitch does not translate to highest speed. In a dive, you will go much faster by reducing RPMs and closing cowl flaps if open. Don't forget to set the supercharger and mixture for the proper altitude as well.
