The Reasoned argument
less consumed air
better situational awareness
escort weapons a danger to themselves
although reduced shooting times targets are larger
Eliminated escorts are permanent evaded escorts arent.
although the turning fight consumes your power faster
its over faster and the pickens can come after a recharge
or if equipped you can use schnorkel in game at least
to make sudden high speed maneuvers in evasion or positioning.
this often solicits perimiter escorts to fire inadvertantly on the
escorts in close proximity to you causing a protracted friendly fire
issue between the escorts. and removing you from there attention
also its somewhat more stimulating than sitting on bottom for hours.
