Tutorial Buoys for Connecticut

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I added what ronillon said but for the others I need more coffee first.

Tbh I don't understand why strafing like this would be a good idea:

-strafing away from your opponent if thrusting towards them (if your opponent is to your right, strafe left. If he's coming from above, strafe down)

and

Thrusting combined with strafing will keep you out of enemy fire as it keeps the crosshair off your ship, even when you are not alternating strafes. It is thus important to constantly be using the strafe, except when in engine kill (see below).

To my knowledge thrusting does not make you strafe faster, but turning and thrusting allows you to get hit less. Or is there some feature I don'T know about

It's a dodging technique, you strafe away to gain distance/dodge out of opponent's screen. It's not to strafe faster. Although strafing makes you go faster. (pythagoras theorem) It can also be combined with the second point about alternating strafe. Someone coming from top right, combo left+down strafe.

The second point I've tested in conn, quite certain it's valid in that you don't even have to swing the mouse to dodge when turning with thrust+strafe held down. A lot of people try to become harder to hit when they're using chat by enabling thrust and strafe while turning. Somehow the game doesn't seem to calculate position of the ship accurately with constant turn acceleration and strafing.
Saw an example on someone's video.

He only starts scoring hits when the Sabre closes up and starts showing off a fatter side even though there were a few shots going directly at the crosshair.
