What you can do is; before take-off, adjust the trim for nose-down(about 5 degrees should be enough), throttle up to 100% but instead of rotating at 120kts, gently apply back pressure on the stick when the aircraft reaches 60kts. You'll notice that the aircraft won't lift off immediately, but after it reaches about 95kts it'll slowly lift off and fly away, "do not rotate at 120kts", at that speed you'll have plenty of air flowing through the tail and even the smallest deflection will have a great effect on the aircraft. Besides, contrary to what you might believe, f-86 and mig-15 have roughly the same take-off speeds as the other piston engined aircraft, "in-game". The same procedure applies for the Mig-15 as well, lots of nose-down trim and gentle elevator deflection at V1(rotation/decision speed).
Remember though, the most important part of this practise is the trim, don't be afraid to use it, and you'll be doing that perfect take-off.
Good luck,
