I'm sure there are some surfaces you can't clamp to. Like a wing. Probably trees also, stuff like that.

It'll be funny if they could though. I don't think it would be that much of an advantage either as each Max has a 60 degree turn only whilst clamping one could easily take them down with a mosquito(from above) or a long range weapon like the sniper or Fly-by-wire rocket launcher.

Well that's a lot of IFs there.

IF a MAX can indeed bail out of a flying galaxy.

IF said MAX is lucky enough to bail out and land on another galaxy.

IF a MAX can clamp onto the galaxy.

It does give me a good idea though. As a VS MAX if i need to get somewhere i just hop on one of my squads tanks or APCs and grab on.(assuming they don't go 120km/h)

Yeah but like i said assuming they aren't zooming away, for an APC it would be hard but a tank (i hope) doesn't go that fast so i'm guessing it could be possible to hang on much like in GTA3 you can hop onto a car and let yourself get driven around.

Also if the vehicle is only go forward just find a spot where you can't fall off, like on a tank you just have to get in front of the turret, the turret will keep you on the tank as long as he doesn't turn too much.

(Well obviously this is all in theory but i will definetly try it when i play )

Yeah but as you said the tank still has more mobilty. and besides it's just for the fun/cool factor, it doesn't server any purpose other than that.

This also sets up another possible tactic: Light/agile armors jumping down on tanks/apcs and setting up mines on top of them.

Gurrila anti-tank tactics.

That would be cool to have a specially trained squad that jumps off Galaxies and land on vehicles to blow them up
