Uh, isn't a fire pattern that's larger than your evasion radius a rather unusual circumstance, and one where the incoming fire is generally going to be of low effectiveness?

Are there real situations where a target with radar can dodge artillery, or just hypothetical ones? I can't think of anything I'd expect to be able to be targeted by artillery that could detect unguided artillery shells and then maneuver around them except maybe small (and comparatively agile) ships. Aircraft in flight aren't targets for that kind of thing, and I didn't think most ground-based radars could pick up and run on a few seconds notice.
