In WWII fighters, altitude + speed meant you'd dictate how the battle wen't and you could lure the enemy to the point where you wanted him to be.
Pretty much all fighters can do Boom n' Zoom, which is a maneuver where you attack the enemy from altitude advantage, make your pass, and then shoot up back to the skies, using the energy you gathered during the dive to get you back up for that altitude advantage.
Sadly, IL2's AI can spot you at times, no matter what you do.
As for aiming, aim for engines. From 6o'clock on bomber = wing engines, fighter = wait for it to bank/roll and pepper the front of fuselage for engine/pilot kill.
And this is what
I would do.
