I'm sure it would work. Not so easy for an aircraft though - unless you're a Harrier

Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite

Slightly off topic, but I read somewhwere, I believe about Arnhem, that an officer was seen running across an area covered by enemy snipers and he ran for five paces, stopped, beck tracked two then ran for three, stopped, ran for seven stopped etc. etc.
Soldiers fascinated by this strange behaviour discovered it was his techniquie to prevent the sniper getting a reliable track to enable him to fire.

Normally, yes.
Although as ever there were exceptions........
Here's a moving rig fitted onto a Kew-built Dodge, probably a 63A type, "somewhere in England":

Amazing - I now know that this was invented by an ex WWII gunner.
The primary objectives of the game are to keep as many subscribers as possible and to stay alive. Secondary objectives include vandalizing non-subscribers' homes and hitting nuisances with newspapers.

Well worth a read ! I believe it was slated at the time for being somewhat ASBO
