Looking for Opinions: Swallowtail vs. Emperor for Artillery/Support playstyle.
Starting a campaign soon, and trying to decide which frame to go with for my Artillery/Control/Support roll. Of all the 15 Sensor Range +1 TA frames, these two stood out, but I'm not sure which I'm going to get more use out of so I'm wanting to source some opinions/ideas. The rest of my squad will be a Vlad, a Dusk Wing, and a Mourning Cloak. (We're starting at LL2.)
For Swallowtail the idea was going to be to immediately grab Goblin 1 at LL3 for that sweet sweet H0R_OS1, and to slap OpCal on the Autopod. Basically just spamming Lock-ons with Spotter 3 and firmly suggesting people go visit the Vlad so he can Nailgun them with Vanguard 3.
I'm a little less sure of what to do with the Emperor to be honest(Partially because it's not available currently in Lancer Tactics to test run). But, in theory, I trade the on-demand shredding and Tactical Simulation for a pretty decent integrated weapon and a TON of overshields to help support my somewhat squishy squad mates.
