Scout troopers

Still aim for the maulers, scout troopers can be run down.

Grrr...Im really beginning to hate this forum, it keeps cutting off my posts!!!

Anyways, what I asked was if there were any special uses you've found for them. They were pretty worthless in the Vanilla, so I rarely use them. When I do, though, I generally set waypoints all along the map and send them on their way so that they are constantly moving (their speed is their greatest strength). I also use them for LZ rushes if I'm on the defensive. Any other thoughts?

I'm not an expert on them but they are extremly usefull against MPTL and AT-ATs (They won't take them down fast, but if you handle them properly, they'll surely destroy it)

What IR units are available to the conglomerate faction in the Zsinj campaigns?

Onto Noghri now. How good are they? Are they on par with Storm Commandos, Spec Ops, or Phalanx Commandos, or are they better/worse?

Anyone use AT-APs? I personally never have (other than the free ones when you capture the Vehicle Factories). What are they useful for?

tlmiller · « **Reply #46 on:** October 12, 2013, 06:46:32 PM »

They're anti-vehicle. Almost useless against infantry, but unshielded vehicles they're actually quite strong against.

The AT-PT anti vehicule? I can't belive it, it might just be usefull against the T-1 rebel tanks.

Not the AT-PT. AT-AP, AKA pod-walker. The units you get from the "abandoned heavy vehicle factory". THOSE are anti-vehicle. AT-PT is strictly anti-infantry.

But what can they do that TX-130s can't?

Ups sorry, my mistake, Still the AT-AP isn't very effective agains medium-heavy vehicules,

Absolutely nothing, which is why noone builds them. But you asked what they were good for, and that's the entirety of what they are. IMO, compared to canon, they're underpowered, they were supposed to be quite effective because of their mass driver cannon. However in the game, they're just pointless unless you get them for free from the abandoned factory.

Does Convarion have PTW and PTS (like the other VSD II heroes)? Also, the Manual states he does not provide any bonuses. Is that correct?

Next question: does anyone use the swamp speeders or pirate skiffs for the PA? If so, what do you use them for?

Mat8876 · « **Reply #54 on:** October 17, 2013, 01:01:37 PM »

I don't use pod walkers but when I attack I send down 8 pop down (sometimes) the extra 2 pop is used as swamp speeders to catch infantry that don't retreat.

Eclipse · « **Reply #55 on:** October 17, 2013, 02:09:23 PM »

I used them for cheap planet garrison, with such a stupid AI, they can do a good work even agains heavy attacks as long as you handle them properly

tlmiller · « **Reply #56 on:** October 17, 2013, 05:59:28 PM »

Swamp speeders are great for defending against the early NR AI, since it happens to use GOBS of infantry as it's primary forces. They're cheap enough to make use of, and very effective against infantry.

Also, will occassionally use them as a quick way of revealing part of a map for a bombing run/bombardment.

Question. Are you keeping the 2.0 stats until 2.1 is released for those that changed (I ask because I happened to be reading the Wiki at work for the Praetor II, which of course dropped in population for 2.1)?

Yes; since I am a beta tester I am not updating those until 2.1 is released so that I do not leak anything I ought not.

Kinda figured, just wanted to make sure.

Also, haven't reported them, but lots of spelling mistakes where it looks like you got autocorrected to the horribly wrong word in spots on some articles.
