In my humble opinion, the MiG3 is an energy fighter, not a boom and zoomer. If you have too much speed, climb. At moderate speeds it turns quite well, so go up rather than gain speed, if the enemy follows you up you'll out turn him.
I do prefer the twin SHVAK models, and so far I've only played offline.
