Approach them from the rear, since the flak should be least concentrated there
and they probably won't be able to use antimatter guns on you.
In WC3, I use a much different strategy with every cap ship except corvettes.
You do indeed need to take out the particle turret on a corvette, but all the
other cap ships can be approached from the rear as long as you don't make a
beeline towards them. Just change course every three seconds or so when the
turret gunners start firing volleys at you, and then they'll never hit since
the blasts are so slow. When you get in gun range, pound 'em and turn around
once you're out of power. Just keep doing that and you shouldn't need to waste
time destroying turrets.
