Theoretically if you were running away, he would do one of two things.
1. Broadside you so he can bring all guns against you (your zig zagging wildly i hope) if he does this you are running away from him at a very good rate because he has little or no forward gain on you.
OR
2. he will head right for you and chase you in which case he will only be able to bring the forward turret(s) against you. You wont out run him very quickly but... he will have a reduced chance of scoring a hit.
