Depends on what you're armed with. If the targets are clearly hittable, and the PD damage is enough to harm them, shooting immediately is the way to go.
If they're too tough, and the launchers themselves are protected except when actively launching, then it's a better idea to track as many targets as you have Enhanced Tracking + 1, with Opportunity Fire (Wait/Aim), and shoot as they launch, keeping Acc.
