I dont know whats happening but something is different with the missions lately.
I am an agent runner since ever and I normally loose a ship once in a month. But now last 3 missions I lost 1 ship and 2 almost.
Hey something isnt it should be like ! The rats are much faster,
stronger and I am not so strong anymore.
Shouldn't it be possible to solve lvl3 missions with a well armed cruiser from a 4 mio skill points player or what ?

No.
I'm doing Agent 3 missions with a Battleship and they are boring.
Even 110k pirates are easy to kill.
The most interesting mission is "The Blockcade" mission where you have to kill 18 pirates in a row. The only thing interesting in that mission is when a 85k pirate warps 25km away from you...other than that its 30 minutes of picking up cargo containers.
If you're in a cruiser I would suggest you either do only courier level 3 missions or go back and do level 2 missions from the highest quality agent.

Have no problems either and I don't even have 3mill skillpoints.
I use a Bellicose with 3x heavy launchers and 10mn MWD. Orbit at 40km with 1.2km/s and bombs away! It takes a while to kill the 100-110k ones but my missile skills aren't maxed out and I'm using non-named launchers.

I am having no problems doing them in my Moa, did the blockade last night. What I do is warp out when there is one npc left then warp back at either 15 km or 60 km out depending on what I warped in last. This way when I take out the last one and the new ones pop in they are not on top of me.

Same here, I working for Caldari Navy lvl 3, q19 agent and I only get kill missions. I use a Moa - kitted with a mwd and I tend to stay at range, say about 45km and I don't have any problems finishing missions, even the Blockade missions is quite do-able, just don't let 'em Rats get to close. |

From my brief observation, kill missions are all about range.

Yep, never get further away than 500m 
Well actually the orbit throws you out further than that, to about 1400m but you can't have everything. Takes a little while to wear down the bigger stuff but picking up the loot only takes a few minutes so it even out in the end.
My advice, get an intercepter, you will never want to fly anything else afterwards..... |

Nice n' Easy. I just use a Dominix with 13 drones out at once. Use Medium drones then you don't even have to fire at the rats as the drones take care of them. Then its just a case of picking up the loot while your drones do the hard work.
I suppose with the new Cruiser secondary skills on the Arbitrator +1 drone control per Amarr Cruiser level (i think) you probably do the same. But a bit faster.

I do level 3 missions for my agent, he only ever gives KILL missions and I haven't ever had a problem
Using my fantabulous RUPTURE loaded with 720mm cannons and small missile launchers with 3 Heavy drones or 6 scouts
wait till the bad guys get to 45km and let rip .. the 10k rats drop like flies, the 40k rats never get close enuff to land a Hit and the 110k Named or extra hard baddies get your full attention without back up ... KABOOM ! !
Can't see whats so difficult unless your watching DVD's at the same time :D
-----------------------------------------------------
In space .. no-one can hear you munching crisps
in the back seat of your Hauler !

Well maybe your a bit underskilled in the more interesting skills for skirmishes then.....
Losing that many ships is indeed not normal. 
I myself do those missions in a BS or cruise with one foot scrathing myself behind the ears and 2 fingers up my nose. They are that easy. Could be that it's my 12.5 mill skillpoints that are making the difference.(don't mean to boast) 
I too lost ships to level 3 mission rats but all cases were because of my own stupid fault being either on the phone or to absorbed with something on my second computer that I forgot I had warped in the middle of a mission spawn.
