Did you expect better?
I would say all engines that use a compressor would be affected thus turboprop planes would be.

Turboprop engines are similar to a turbofan engine found on most airplanes, diffrence being it has no large fan making the core engine smaller, the output shaft going though a gearbox and into the propeller.

There is more to it but thats the simple exp.
