Sure, in a dead heat and as long as there aren’t any big waves. Also, you do realize that it’s possible to attack this thing from other directions than directly behind it while it’s at full speed, right?
If you attack it head on you have a very short window of opportunity before it’s past you and if you try from the side you’ll have to be really really good at geometry. And that thing won’t go in a straight line while it’s in enemy range.
