Circle v Snake Search?

[OneShot]

Depends on the situation. When I fly the Orion I usually have a torp ready to drop in Circle mode right from the start, in case somebody shoots at me and I actually am fast enough to drop the torp as a going away farewell. Aside from that I try to aim mostly for getting to know my quarry and then drop a Snake in front or from behind, tho sometimes I switch to using a circle when I'm pretty sure on location but not so sure on course.

As a Helo I have a Circle ready to drop again as a last ditch and to drop when I get a MAD. If I have a bit more time I try to set up a good launch and use Snake ...

Bottom line : it hugely depends on the situation! Do I prefer one? Nope, but there are situations calling for the one or the other ...
