As Uther said, if they (FW's) have altitude on you (AND airspeed), you're best bet is to simply let them play in their own sand box and go find easier prey. If they're marginally above you but have less airspeed, your chances are better as despite your altitude disadvantage, you may still have superior E-state. In that case you may be able to do a small zoom-climb as yuo approach closer to them and get a shot or two off before you scrub too much airspeed. Above 4,000M given mostly equal E-states, the FW holds most of the cards and if they make a mistake they can always just dive away.
