We talking sparrows or sidewinders here? Ah, ummmm, gee, I have pretty good luck with sparrows if the radar lock is kept. Are you referring to the heatseeker sidewinder "B" re: the opposing aircraft manuvering?
Just want to keep my sparrows and 'winders happy. :) But if you really want him bad enuf, like maybe he really punched some holes in your ride, light off 1 'winder as a decoy shot if you have the angle. Then you know which way he's gonna turn. Check your speed make it mach 0.4, and if the horizon is in relation to the azimuth at 15 degrees to the east of Lat 34.55 north, Long 12.33 east, wait for the tone, crank it off and I bet you get him. (maybe)
