To maximize your chances of a hit, boost in before releasing the missile and release it as close as possibly to the enemy Warhawk. Homing missiles can also lock on to anti turrets.

Another advantage is that nobody can lock on their weapons to you, not missiles or machine guns, but you can still take damage.
