In my experiance, limited though it may be, flank speed is realy only warranted when you need to dodge a bulet. If you hear them pass over you and then splashes you may well be about to get hit. Dive 20-30m, go hard over so your course is oposite that of your attacker, put some distance between you, and hit flank. Diving is always preferable to going up, going up you may well intersept a charge that would have missed you otherwise. That should get you some breathing room and out from underneeth the attack. As soon as the charges start poping or you determine the ship has turned and can hear you again cut engens and coast and watch your scopes to see if he is going to re-engage you. If he dose you get to dance some more, if not slip away nice and quiet or set up to kill him for trubbling you so.
