I'm just going by the flyer pictures on gamarchive, which dont' show a step.
But . . .

There's your problem -- drive INTO the missiles. You have less time
to aim, but the missles have less time to serpentine around you. Pulling
back is certain death. Apparently without the step -- litteraly. :-)

I actually had one BZ game, when I first discovered this trick, where the
missles kept scooting around me, off the back of the screen, and came around
for another pass. I've had a hard time duplicating it, but I think you have
to start driving at them almost immediately.

True though, you can probably yank on the BZ handles more than the analog RB
stick.

Hmm -- perhaps making a new step isn't a bad idea . . .
