Funnily enough, I just made a topic about the commando's detpack (which I incorrectly called the thermal detonator- mixed it up with vanilla) I agree, much OP. As to the A9, I don't really use it in it's current configuration. Not useful enough to justify it next to another group of those superb sabre tanks, which can face-scout four spots on the map at once and don't need to be refreshed to do it. Also, the A9 needs either a light shield to ignore infantry rifle attacks or a decent anti-infantry gun. Don't get me twisted though: much love to mod writers; exceptional work on every front. If you hadn't done so well I wouldn't be spending my time here trying to influence it towards even greater heights!

Several ground units are getting significant changes over 2.2/2.3, and the A9 will be one of them. We don't intend to entirely push it into the same space as the AT-At, though.

Hello There.

I want to talk about the A9 Floating Fortress the "Rival to the AT-AT" in the possession of the Pentastar Alignment and my certain issues with it.

I understand the A9 is made to be a command vehicle and transport for the Alignment, however I feel it is under-powered as an actual assest to its ground forces, yes the sensor ping is very powerful but only benefits a select few units, even fewer for the alignment, therefore I wish to recommend some possible suggestions to make it more than a glorified miniature sensor relay:

Possibly increase its damage with its main cannon to be a source of defence, as it is now it struggles to kill basic infantry.
Possibly remove the sensor ping and instead increasing its view range (it can see more than other units)
Create a second turret for it, as both turrets could shoot independently from one another.
Possible increase to its defences, as it can barely cope with LIGHT tanks, especially if you say it requires less escort than a AT-AT (which itself seems a waste for the Pentastar due to the factions reliance on mobility)

Also a little guilty complaint of mine, the detpacks for the commando units are completely crippling for ground combat, its damage and range can eradicate a well planned attack. Also it seems to be easy to just blitzkrieg opposing bases with the commandos.
