Snarking aside, the Falcon occupies a similar slot in the Eldar army to the [[Razorback Transport]] as a tank that sacrifices transport capacity for more firepower in terms of a pulse laser and a heavy weapon of your choice, though this comes at a discount over the Wave Serpent. Falcons occupy the Heavy Support slot, which means it is competing with some of your other good options in 9th edition, like Dark Reapers and War Walkers.
			Given that it has a transport capacity of 6 though, it can quite competently house one squad of Aspect Warriors and even a Warlock or Farseer for suppot. Aside from the aforementioned competition in its slot, the Falcon faces two other problems: firstly, in an army of specialist units the Falcon is a more generalist option. With the pulse laser able to take out vehicles with its high strength and AP, it'll not completely cut through armour saves like a Bright Lance will, for example. In addition, it has relatively low volume of fire too, meaning any support in terms of psychic buffs will definitely help amp it, but it will have a relatively lower impact than other units, such as Fire Dragons or even a Night Spinner.

	A big and obvious bright side is the anti-gravitic generators, which give the Falcon its amazing speed and agility are prime examples of the Eldar's technological mastery. Thanks to these powerful devices a Falcon can achieve speeds of up to 800 kph and soar to altitudes much higher than the equivalent Imperial craft, giving it limited flight capability.

	in game terms its a very dangerous target for the high cost: you get a tank that can zip around the battlefield, is packed full of aspect warriors and nothing above s8 hurts it(making a mockery of your lascanons and railguns) and in ye olden days (7th ed backwards) it could punch right through a terminator squad with its ap2 starcanonn.
