I would also be grateful for any tips regarding control of either in other situations, such as strafing, diving, etc.

Many thanks in advance
Rudder:
Rudder helps a lot if you wind up in a turning fight. Turning the rudder in the direction on your turn will help you turn harder.

Speed:
When your in a dogfight you will need to concentrate on your speed in response to your enemy's speed. Make sure to slow down before you approach so you don't overshoot and have him on your six. And if you see him try to barrel roll or spin around you, slow down and try to get the edge on him by barrel rolling as well sometimes. This is called Rolling Scissors.
If you wind up doing a loop, slowing down and give you the edge sometimes.
But most importantly, just try to do your best to make sure you keep him in front of you.

If you want anything more specific just ask.
