For the mig, they easy way to kill things is immelmann's. It had such a high climb rate that nothing can follow. If a saber (even f5e) follows you, after a few immelmann's they will lose a lot of energy and be easy prey. If they dont follow you, just try and slot in on them. Edit- never follow a saber if they go into a scissors, they will out roll you and you will die. Also if they dive away, dont bother just keep altitude.

as others said, don't ever get caught being slow. As for things you can do, dive and get some air speed. then start doing a flat scissors maneuver and hope he cant keep up. if he is really high on energy maybe you could try and slow down during the scissors and force an over shoot.

I fined the su27 very stable, but you can't pull the stick more then 1/2 of the way back.
