There’s an interesting discussion over on the forums about using the Slip maneuver – a retreat in the forward direction – to maneuver around your foe. +Sean Punch provided some feedback on how this should be treated, and how when looking at a system using discrete one-second turns, sometimes judgement must be exercised to ensure sanity….
