57 Swooping Hawks = 150 shots a turn, most of them BS5.
Forcing a lot of Pinning and Blind checks each turn.
Between the Hawks and FIVE Eldar Flyers, Everything moved at least 18" a turn.
Anti tank provided by the lances on the flyers and the haywire grenades on all the hawks.
Everything is Anti-Flyer.
Lots of cover-ignoring Blasts against hordes.
Lots of weaknesses (Assault, but they can hopefully run from anything) but anyone what would cause the list problems? Or what would this list be best against?

It's simple: Overspecialize, and you breed in weakness. It's slow death.

There will be matchups you are will be horrible against, and others you completely faceroll.
I'm playing an exarch army now, and while I love my 12 swooping hawks, there are lots of times they are not the all-star MVPs.
That being said, there are lots of times they are the MVPs
