I've been in that situation last month, where I was on the Desert Storm map and I had engaged... oh two or three Mig-23s and due to their luck was Winchester. So I then had another wave of four to six coming down on me, and I still had to get to the target... Hit the burners, dropped the bomb, hit the target. Then I turned tail (I think I had two 'winders left over) and hit the burners some more for quite a bit. I had range advantage as far as speed so I flew on at a cozy Mach 1.24 until I felt it was "safe" and they turned along their patrol route.
But I have a good and a bad short DACT session on missions.
Good one: Was doing a strike on the Desert Storm map in the Bucc and I had a Mig-23 a few miles ahead of me, bearing on me, but I think he was entranced with my escorts. So I nose up, unleash my only 'winder and smoke him. After that I was winchester, dropped my bomb and skimmed the earth until it was safe.
Bad one: This goes under the heading "Push to your target instead of going Top Gun" in which I had a flight of Mig-23s off to my two o'clock and decided to bag one. Well I did, but his buddy shot me down too, so it was kind of pointless to try.
Takeaways: I can ascertain the Jay Bird has a minimum detection altitude of approximately 300 feet or lower (without digging in the data.ini) and should have just moved on. Tactical patience... but I did eject, which is my only saving grace I guess...
