No particular reason ^.^ Build tanks send forth to an area you wish to secure prior to moving in to build. Deploy tanks for added HP/Range.

Why not just send a bunch of engineers with an escort and plop down some static defense guns really fast instead? If the tanks that you send are appropriately heavy there is no need to "deploy" them and it saves you some micro.
Essentially the idea was that the way you build in game, and that tanks are tanks. You won't need deployable tanks or mobile turrets, because tanks.......tanks. And turrets? You can build those anywhere.
@noaveragejoe It doesn't really require a special tank to do that sort of thing, technically. You simply dig a pit with a ramp and then drive the tank into it.
