But, the SPHA can be defeated by IG lancer droids. It would kill enemy units and they would cost about 8,000 for 2 pieces. Each would be 4,000. Good enough?

IG Lancer Droids that won't be in this game and are one of the most absurd creations in Star Wars.

No, the consensus here is that the SPHA series stays. Unless the staff decides otherwise, it's safe to rule the Rag as out.

Back up the truck; this isn't a precursor, it fires shells, and is driven on repulsorlifts.

It could fill a field artillery role, compared with the heavy role of the SPHA-T.

How many times.

WE COULD HAVE BOTH. The RAG is a smaller piece which has a different warhead and is lighter; it could perform as field artillery whilst the massive SPHA-T could by the heavy artillery...

Similar to the 20 Pounder Gun and the Howitzer. 20 Pounder was field artillary, Howitzer was Heavy Artillery. I like Chris' Idea.

Indeed. With much bigger maps, we should have more call for tactical usage of various different assets; this is one example.

Yes. The shells can't enter shields and they can blow up tons of droids. They would technically be droid busters.  :)

That is just one tactical example; it would be able to penetrate standard shields; but would have to be much closer to fire upon the base (more vulnerable to defensive fire)  and have smaller munitions (field artillery, thus shorter range and smaller calibre), thus there is a pay-off.

I apologize Chris. Didn't quite understand it since I skimmed which of course is no excuse.

If you guys can get it to work out sure.

I like this idea, and the dual-artillery thing a lot. 

Can we keep it? Please?  :P

Unfortunately, They will take 5 minutes to move 5 feet because they move very slowly because of the weight.

The SPHA-T is seen a little more than the RAG, but I think they actually fill different roles. Maybe make the SPMA-T the starting artillery then get the SPHA-T at like around Tier 3 or 4, but keep the RAG in a different category all together. Make that availible like Tier 4?

exactly, its a game if the units a too slow its boring, too fast too uber, sometimes in games (EVEN in Company of Heroes) thats all about realism of real life THEY HAVE to twist the realism a litle... look at CoH for Example, the King Tigers and Tigers moved ALOT slower than in the game and the game is still very popular and has very good reviews litle twitches like that makes a game greater than it was expected to be.
