Strategies:-
The Owl, is a durable and strong Aviation Unit. Although it lacks in speed unlike its other air counterparts, the Owl has pretty strong missiles that can hurt any Aviation Unit really bad. With Intensity Afterburner, it still has a chance to catch up with fleeing enemy air units.

Support AA:-
Since the Owl is not fast enough without an Afterburner and putting one would mean the loss of space, weight and energy, what you need to do is to support other AA by following them. Its ok if you lag behind in the first few seconds because once an enemy AA gets into sight, all you have to do is to follow them and finish off what they have started. Always shoot the one they are targeting at so you have a greater chance of killing it using your Owls. Owls make good Roc Supporters as they can clear Air Mines or enemy AA if there are. Take note that when clearing Air Mines, its best to use the [Alt+Q] formation so that you can clear a larger surface area of Air Mines before dying.
