The Break Turn
The standard evasion against attack from astern is to turn as hard as possible in the direction of the attacker, to increase deflection quickly, and make yourself a harder target to hit.

How do you do the Break Turn?
|
Execute the Break by moving the joystick right OR left, and then pulling back on the stick to tighten the turn, and force an overshoot by your attacker.
"The break turn should always be executed level or lower than the bogey. Never break above your opponent or else you will lose speed and your size as a target will grow.
This rule teaches you to break into a gun solution - closing your opponent's gunnery window as rapidly as possible, and forcing a possible overshoot."
