The only serious use where Swarm Tactics was a crucial element of the build was on Vader with two Sigma Squadron Pilots with Advanced Cloaking Device, so that way Vader could boost one to PS9 so they could get an attack in and then cloak. He frequently knew which Phantom needed the cloak too.

The other good uses I've seen have been kinda just bonuses in a swarm to boost a heavy hitter to try to get a ship off before it can fire, one on Howlrunner who boosted a Black Squadron Pilot wtih Swarm Leader, the other being on Blount to boost a Bandit Squadron Pilot with Concussion Missiles. The boost to PS6 was actually incredibly useful for my opponent that game since he got to shoot a missiles at Ryad before Ryad could shoot back.

I don't think it's worth it though on non-Phantoms unless you have a hard hitter you can get to attack first.
