- stouset 6y agoNone of these maneuvers are useful. High G maneuvers rapidly bleed energy. Slowing yourself down for a missile is... not a winning strategy. High-G maneuvers are great for an in-close adversary moving relative to you. They don't do much against an adversary approaching at Mach 4. At that speed, while pulling 10G, you'll make less than a hundred foot change in your predicted position while the missile closes the last mile. And keep in mind, the missile will be actively tracking you during this period.
