racing online i thought of a manouber to avoid a rocket locked on your plane

[raaaid]

the thing is that i was racing online when i saw a guy coming opposite sense to me

obviously he intended to collide

so this is what i did:

i steered left and the crasher aimed to me but in the last moment i avoided him going to the right

i was thinking this is only effective if we are both going opposite directions, i couldnt have done it if we had the same sense

so do real pilots for example with a sam locked to them ever do this? that is instead of running away going towards it to dodge it?
