It's like if I'm playing an ultra-realistic war bird sim and I have 5 heat-seeking missiles closing on my 6. I fire off a missile just as they are about to fly up my exhaust...at the last moment they deviate and follow the missile.
Does the missile have a heat source: yes
If the heat seeker seeks an infra-red signature, will the missile give one: yes
Once launched, does the missile fly in the same trajectory as the plane: yes
Would it work in real life: no
I’m sorry but I think your reasoning is flawed:

1. You are not another captian so you can't really say what someone else would do.

2. Your condition was based on a real life possibility, I want to say my reply to your conditions is pretty much common sense!?!?

3. You keep crossing the boundaries of sim and real-life - make up your mind

4. You can only speak for yourself as to what you would do in the situation. Goldorak covered it nicely as those tactically versed than others. In this case you would not, doesn't mean somone else would.

5. Stay on subject - the subject is dw.. Not all that other stuff you play. You can't accurately compare and/or disect 'apples' and apply it to 'oranges'

6. Heck, you can't even decide if you owe an apology/or not/on when lolololol ..sorry had to throw that in
