To do this you'll need to be going at 250kpmh + .
Let an enemy draw close up to your 6, then open landing flaps, lower gear, and goto about 40% throttle, and pull up to about a 45 degree angle above the horizon. This will slow your speed very quickly and unless they follow suite they will fly straight past you, giving you the upper hand.
Very simple, yet very effective. Remember to have some speed otherwise you will lower your speed too much and go into a stall.
You'd be dead if I was behind you! hehe. The best overshoot tactic is the reversal, works probably 90% of the time, and is undetectable to your opponent. Another one that works well when opponent has your 6 tight, is to dive with barrel roll and full flaps, no throttle etc, they will overshoot almost immediately, a fav p47 tactic in ww2. Both these work almost always unless the pilot is a true ace!
