Maverick would go into evasive engagement mode.
That and find the softest spot of earth to place his jet because once an adaquate enemy gains your six, you're fricked anyway.
I could throw lots of dogfighting jargon around but it all boils down to how good said pilots are in the engagement.
A big part of the Top Gun curriculum now is evading enemy radar and getting you and your WO or EWO out of a bind. But there are G-Limits and harddeck/ceiling limitations on maneuvers for safety reasons.
