Some tricks are things like wing wagging, this can put off an attackers aim. Split-S and immelmans also are good manouvers to counter multiple attackers. When you do manouvers though, you dont have to get them perfect. You can do them at angles and not get the Ace Card for it but they will help massively in large engagements.
There are some other little tricks you can do, but Im not going to share my entire playbook
A good tip is to do training missions vs 16 fighters. Once you can do a training mission against 16 planes and win without getting killed your on the money for dogfighting modes.
