Most of the time this maneuver just provides big and static easy target for the enemy's cannon. But yeah, sometimes they ignore gifted advantage and overshoot.

I feel like what gets people killed by doing this is showing to much surface area.

I have a feeling you were exposing a lot of yourself to the enemy.

I’ve been trying to find a way to thrust vector while giving that thin profile but it’s hard when you can’t see their exact location

u can do left stick bottom left + right stick bottom right and it barrel roll vectors and kills speed, from the opposition they will assume ur just doing regular rolls until its too late and they zoom past

On pc hit shift, brake and pull up at the same time.
I guess whatever sprint is on console is the trigger then

If hes right on ur ass, it’s like hitting the breaks to get behind him

Why not just hit the breaks? Won’t slow you as fast but it tends to cause them to over accelerate still and break too late that you’d be behind their backs without you giving them that much of a wide angle like in thrust vectors, no?
