They work. You have to have your aspect angle right. They don't work head
on. You have to set them up by turning one way, while giving the command
to bracket the other way. Or you can first get your wingman to break.
It doesn't hurt to keep sending the message, so keep playing with it.

I just figured it out yesterday, so it's still a little vague to me, but
sometimes it works like a charm. The basic idea is to set up a situation
where the manuever will work.
