It was a byproduct of the "updated" Target Speed Modifier rules -- the two best methods for minimizing speed mods were "fighter jet" [Front-to-Back, and vice versa], and "broadside" [Left-to-Right, and vice versa]; trying to shoot F-mount weapons at L or R meant taking the full speed mod, whereas the two mentioned previously tended to be as near 0 as made no odds.

As to "perfect strategies": That's where die rolls come in. I still remember the NOVA event where someone ran up to my cat with an ATG, fired, hit -- and rolled three "1"s for damage.
