ok yeniceri,
let me tell yozu, yes there are existing pilots whos name is or was maddog.
i myself know one former f-15e WSO whos callsign was maddog, but the actual thing is, maddoging is one, sorry the words, piece of bulls.... .
all the pilots who say that this is the way of killing a bandit, are not really good pilots, sorry, but in real combat no pilot would ever maddog a amraam unless he is in a close range fight like 10 miles where he shots the amraam nearly visual on a target and has no time to lock, cause the misslie goes of the rail active.
maddoging is crap, cause, when you have a good pilot, he will evade the dangerzone right away, like my leader and i do it.
as a team we know what to do and when to do.
the maddoging only works against noobs or people who never tested the azimuth of the amramm.
we know how long we have to flank or gimgle to get out of that envelope of the missile.
i bet, that no maddoging missile will hit anybody of us, cause we always try to see in advance what happens next be analysing the movement of the bandit.
usually the people who are maddoging turn after they have fired thier missiles.
so when the bandit turns at a range of 25 km or about 17 miles, or less, we know that an rwr call of an active missile will follow shortly, so what do we do.
we turn 180, or gimble 90 and raise altitude.
so what happens folks, the missile runs out of energie and it will not hit at all, even when you predicted the right direction there is allways a countermeassure for bandits like the people who shot and thrust the actives to much
thats about all
a good pilot, does not matter if in real life or virtually, always makes decisions, it only matters if he makes the right once.
you make a mistake, you usually die
greetings
