If you want to stay alive get high in altitude and dive on your opponent, fire and get away. So you are nearly certain to survive even with an inferior plane. Read about the "Flying tiger" against the Japanese in WW2. Or German against the US bombers late in the war but they used the frontal attack also.
Get higher, dive, kill, get out of there!

Search Youtube for boom'n'zoom Il-2 videos.
Check out this guy's Dogfghts series for example http://www.youtube.com/user/BigSilverHotdog Turn off vulnerability, limited ammo and set some bombers in FMB 1500m below you for practice. Dive on them when you are right above them but not when you are behind them. Zoom after attack into the right position above them and repeat for 2 hours.
