Useless and Overpowered Units

And sensors ping I'm sure.

It's not a good counter to the Gilzeans, but it's a GREAT way to set up bombing runs and bombardments without having to risk units.

Also swarming them with TIE maulers(like 5 squads worth) then self destructing is effective and relatively cheap since the maulers are not very pricey

Huh.  What a very imperial tactic.

Yeah, what I meant was that by doing that you can increase the LoS even further (and it has an insanely fast recharge time).

[tlmiller]

Oh, in 2.1 beta, that's been changed, and the recharge time is much slower (still quick, but not as insanely quick).

Ah, haven't done too much PA play yet (focusing on FTGU IR).

I took a page from Russian tactics too

I find Enforcers pretty useless since they have no fighters and less firepower than vindicators. And reading through the forums people find them good against fighters, but if you want that what is wrong with the IPV yes it is light on armor but is it has the boost weapon ability meaning it has quite good range and it's cheaper, more manuverble and less pop count.

And Gilzean's are massively overpowered. Also Hailfire's but just use aircraft against them since they can't shoot them.

[Revanchist]

Enforcers give you a combination between the IPV and Vindicator, saving you a population point.

[Lord Xizer]

Indeed

Useless: dark jedi or normal jedi
Overpowered: being NR in any of the Bothaui map, holy hell, trying to invade that planet always results in a massacre or very high losses as you are surroounded past the second spawn plus you need todo all the trip again to destroy the enemy base

I actually have found a use for Dark Jedi: keeping Jerec alive through their Force Heal ability. But they are still useless in combat.

Learn to love IDTs my friend, they are essential for ruining swarms of indigenous people and buildings

[Revanchist]

IDTs are excellent. Just load them up with a couple squads of NovaTroopers and say bye-bye to any indigenous life forms.

Unless of course the NR has Turbolasers and T1-Bs to end your little aerial party. Which brings me to the question: which is better, the AAC-1 or the T1-B? From what I can tell (having never played as the NR) they both fulfill the anti-infantry and AA roles, but the T1-B has extra effectiveness against infantry (the flak pod decimates them), and the AAC can also be used against armored targets due to the missiles.

Does anyone uses the juggernaut? I mean it doesn't have good weapons, they take ages to shoot, the only good think of them is that they have the missile defense system but it's not usefull either because again it's very slow to recharge

I do in worlds that have a lot of water or other hostile terrain.

I do when I want to move my infantry very fast behind my mechanized units(similar to Panzer grenadiers in WWII)

but it's not that fast, for that I would prefer an air evac with IDT so that the advancement of the vehicules wouldn't be stoped by it. But I can't deny it has an awsome cargo capacity

If you ever need to extricate 10 Infantry squads, it can't be beat

Hmm that would work, that map is always a pain in the neck for me, there is always "that" turbolaser turret that ruins all the fun
