Haha, I had something like that happen a month ago. Turning in a Yak-1B against a FW 190-5, I ended up on his six, about 150m back. At that point he just straightened out and flew almost perfectly level. After he bailed out he accused me of flying "Oleg's wonder-uber-Yak1B." He was expecting his faster plane to just leave me like a missile leaves a wing.
I remember being on the other end of such over-simplified assumptions when I was starting out online; once at about 1500m there was a La-5FN 500m behind me and gaining fast, so my reaction was to climb steeply because of course everyone knows those La's lose a lot of performance above 2000m, lol.
