A previous partial discussion has taken place about this in another thread, however i felt it appropriate to give it it's own.
The target over-write pod is used by a few select planes. It is used to deflect missles away from your allies. The F18-RC is my personal preference due to it being medium on stats.
For example The 111a also has it but has no handling, but almost max speed and defense. The A-12 Avenger II is extremely slow but can turn on a dime and also includes this feature.
Now back onto the pod! It has some pretty tricky use to it aswell.
1. You can't target enemy's at all while having this out.
2. You only get J Missiles other than the pod itself.
3. The pod says it has 1 round...that is a lie, imo. It is infinite use.
4. You must have a green lock on your ally to use it *aka you can't just shoot 100 of them and hope you deflect.
My advice
1. Don't even try to deflect missles off of ppl circling each other it's a waste of time. Unless you are at a decent range where the circling isn't actually revolving around you.
2. Don't bother using these unless you have at least one or two players you KNOW in voicechat with you. If you play with strays with this equiped you will most likely end up frustrated. They will fly you into missles more concerned with getting there kill, instead of breaking target to shoot at something else.
This is just some of the information I have recently looked into and found out for myself. Point gain with a good group is outstanding. 1kill 3 deaths 2500 points in a match. I will update this as i aquire more info...however the rest of my strategies you'll have to learn from seeing me in the sky. See you in the air everyone.

Edit: I forgot to add you need to see blue around the guy have locked aswell. This will indicate which direction the missiles are coming from, and the angle you need to achieve to intercept them with it.
