Recently i decided to give the mig-15 a try but i simply never do good in it for example: I can never hit enemies with its guns doesn’t matter how much i lead, go up and dive down. I also looked on the internet for help but doesn’t matter how much i look i still have lackluster performance. So if you guys have any tips please tell me some of them.

use your engine power as it is your main advantage
You will get used to the 37mm eventually, i recommend checking defyn vids about it.
The basic giz is to do a vertical loop to bait your enemy till they are slow as u have amazing energy retention. The hard part is to actually kills them as you lock up heavily above 900~ish kph so use your airbrake as well. The roll rate is pretty bad so do take that in mind also.
I usually just climb to 4-5k meters ish at the start and be like a vulture swooping down on distracted enemy.
Try to master it too as the Mig-17s and mig-19s have the same play style.
Oh just notice it is about the normal Mig-15 (is it?) well then all those things also applied but you do have to choose your fight carefully as many things at that br will straight up deleted you.
My advice: research the Lim 5 as quickly as possible. A jet that can do everything better and is really fun.
about the guns , if youre after another plane at high speed wait to get close, use short burst(as the 37mm without the upgrade spread a lot), and use your air breaks when youre close enough so you dont overshoot.
