The problem with that is that it hides one fin while only one is exposed. Sometimes it hides the one you need to break :)
That's true. Its position when it lands on the ground can change though depending on the type of interrupt/stagger, where it was hit, and its momentum at the time so either side could be exposed. Also, with some of the recent changes, it should be easier to damage the less exposed side as well.
I think mixing it up with a few methods is better than using one!
