Sound like you're BnZ'ing from the 6... you want to do it more from the 8-4 clock position as this makes it near impossible for your target to get a fix on you, before you're long gone. ?
You use this same tactic for attacking formation of bombers.. the bigger the formation the more closer to the 12 position is your attack.
