Re: Why use Galaxies (gal drop tactic)
|
|
1) The primary reason you use Galaxy drops is force concentration.

2) To carry MAX. MAX won't be flying aircraft - that was an E3 only thing. So if you want to bring MAX quickly and efficiently to a location, it'll be with a Sunderer or Galaxy.
3) Resource cost. Galaxies use different resources than attack aircraft and tanks. Sure you could use aircraft to hot-drop like PS1 but unlike PS1 it will cost a lot more of your ES aircraft resource to deploy a squad of 10 that way than via a Galaxy.
