#5  Playing this sort of 'tag' frequently has it's uses. We used to do it to Ivan to get him to turn on his fire control radar to record freqs and beats and so on.
I can see flying past a warship with a signal strength meter in order to plot out hard and soft zones in the radar overlaps alongside, in order to determine possible blind areas. You'll know when they've reached that point when the flights stop running parallel and perpendicular to course and start converging from different compass points.
Just sayin...
