All this assumes you weren't in a nice tight formation with friends, of course - in that case you just got to suck it up and take the hit.

I'd argue that at that scale that's what dodging looks like :-)

(although it might not be just the one active defence roll in a vehicular combat system designed to show the detail of all that!)
