What this does is limits the amount of time that you can be lined up (especially if guns are to be used by the fighter) and everytime this threat overflys you it gives you time to change course and possibly slip away. It also makes this bogey pull out early because if it don't then it could run straight into the ground. If missiles are being used by this fighter then stay as close to the ground as possible and try to create as much clutter as you can for it's radar whilst maneuvering.

Then try to slip away while he extends. Or fall back to friendly air defenses if they are close enough. In real life you could probably call for air support from your own fighters.
