Still in the blast radius. Maybe the biker should just die. He's pretty useless in the first place.

[Mir'ika]

Very good point.  THe biker has a hand pistol.  Not terribly useful.  I say he should be used as a spotter unit for the SPMA-T.  Better than a droid, in my opinion.

[Tanus]

I personally think they're fine as is.  They serve as spotters when they're on the bikes.

I do think that the Empire should have some kind of elite unit like the infiltrator

that would neutralize yet another advantage the rebels have over the Empire. not a good idea. the Empire already is uber enough.

[Mandalor Vipeer]

If you say so. I find it easier to play with the Rebels. The fact that they might be uber makes it that much easier to kill them. It seems that everyone thinks the Empire is uber, so they want all the extra abilities and strengths to go to the rebels. The Empire needs some special units too, I think.

[Tanus]

Lets put it this way: the Empire is the tank faction, concerned with little more than brute force and weight of numbers.  The Rebels are more tactical, and have perfected hit-and-run strategies that serve to harass the Empire, all while taking out key units.

Let's face it, the Empire wasn't as tactically brilliant as people make them out to be.  It doesn't fit in their gameplay mechanics to have a sort of elite infantry.  Stormtroopers already wreck rebs one-on-one.

Yesterday, I had four squads of rebel infantry down 9 stormtrooper squads. Rebel troopers are stronger than imperials one on one. T4-b's own the crap out of most light imperial vehicles, and the speeders destroy turrets buildings and AT-AT's.

      Right now in EAW I don't see your point here.

[e^(πi)+1=0]

not now, but in UEAW, the Empire is getting a substantial power boost, so the rebs do need some more abilities to counter that, because they were pretty well balanced before.

[Mandalor Vipeer]

That's what I was pointing out. They weren't balanced very well. I'm not using UEAW right now, because I gave Mirshe my FoC disc and I have to wait till Christmas to get my Gold pack. So this is all regular EAW. I was pointing out that they were horribly unbalanced.

viper. you know that isnt true. if you order stormtroopers to fire at rebel troopers with both using the take cover ability, the stormies would win. stop trying to twist the facts. if you can use tactics and micro-ing to beat AI it doesnt mean that the units are unbalanced, it means you can use tactics to turn the tables. Like you are supposed to.

And the Imperials ARE uber. They have AT-ATs. they have lancers. They have the turbolaser bombardement. they have alot going for them over the rebels.

[Mandalor Vipeer]

Some units are uber yes, but the rebels have good ante's. And micro managing had nothing to do with the rebel troops verses the stormies. I clicked, both were using the take cover ability, and the stormies lost one on one. There is no fact twisting here. Five troops killed nine with 2 of the 5 surviving.

Agreed with the turbolaser bombardments, but not AT-AT's and Lancers. They are both easily defeated. AT-AT= run some plex soldiers up to them. keep the troops behind them and the AT-AT goes boom. Build an anti air turret and the lancers go boom. Lancers arwe weak unless there is no AAA. they are good against speeders, I'll give you that, but no other AAA weapons.

[Tanus]

that was regular EAW, which I believe we can all count as obsolete now.  UEAW's troops: stormies win every time. 

anywho, on topic, I still think that the imps dont need another infantry unit.
