Ah, yes. If you aren't good at the game, just don't play.
I should mention it has been a legitimate tactic to somewhat grind against valors to reach their rear for years in heavy vs heavy combat whilst the valor can simply impulse ek past you forcing you to face their forward gun. I don't think that player should be in trouble if he didn't flip you or take advantage of being catapulted. We've been doing this for a long time in the GRN vs BAF war with the old carriers because it was the sole way to win that engagement let alone stand a chance considering even when being bumped if you use your pitch and turn keys you can still completely nullify the other ships attempt to get in your blind spot.
The rule 5.3 only applies in the situation of something smaller clipping into a larger ship to flip them when concerning constant bumping. Since y'know... Catapulting is sort of a once per fight thing.
Else it would be worded more broadly rather than "With smaller into larger"
Let me elaborate on how it's done.
Avoid fire and close in on valor. Then proceed to strafe away from the valor whilst turning into it in an attempt to reach its blind spot. You would adjust strafe and turn to avoid clipping into it whilst attempting to keep at least two heavies firing down onto the valor often alongside primary fire and again then can just impulse EK out of it.
If you take this same tactic with the Remembrance. Well the Remembrance just can't lose at close range with their 5 heavy broad sides. Redemption even more so since the Redemption has a faster turn rate. (For some reason the remembrance was a copy paste valor, not redemption.)
