Anti-personel:  Valuable for defending key points from infantry and enemy MAXes. Leaves MAX very vulnerable due to lack of mobility. Most enemies will choose to lob grenades and other explosives rather than confront a room filled with MAXes

Anti-Vehicle:  Out in the open, lockdown can be very valuable when defending against enemy armor. The lockdown allows for the MAX to be decently far away and able to shoot a lot of rounds down range. Need engineer support.

Anti-Aircraft:  Probably the best use of the lockdown ability. The MAX can drop enemy aircraft fairly quickly while locked down and is much less exposed than when fighting vehicles. Still not going to down a Galaxy fast enough to stop drops, however.

The Lockdown ability can be very functional but you have to use it correctly. If you are defending a point from infantry you can easily destroy their first wave, but you have to reconfigure before the next waves. Vehicles are destroyed quickly by MAX AV weapons, but you are an easy target for tank guns. Aircraft seem to be the most vulnerable to the benefits of lockdown.
