Poll: Which side is better: Rebels or Empire?

[mzumbo]

as of right now, the rebels have every advantage: their heavy troopers mow down vehicles like a knife cutting through butter, while also rapidly targeting another unit with ease while the imperial heavy trooper just stands there for three seconds in between bursts, giving the rebel units time to shred the life out of em.

their vehicles from the clone wars era somehow shred defenses and units, regardless of equipment or upgrades.

rebel jump troopers just rapid fire through everything, including AT-AT walkers, while the imperial jump trooper doesnt fire nearly as fast.

rebel snipers can lay waste to everything and tank even AT-AT walker fire.

rebel units also seem to have more effective AI and movement, while ive watched AT-AT walkers completely avoid the HQ even though all shield generators are destroyed. ive also watched my walkers avoid shooting at rebel units while targeting a stupid building to the point where i want to throw my phone.




this game and its devs have nerfed the imperial faction into oblivion. at the current time, if you are not a rebel player, you are set at a severe disadvantage because the imperial units are nerfed to fucking kittens

The AT-ACT probably one of the best things a forest based Imperial Garrison can get. The high damage obliterates defenses. If the rebels SC is stocked call in some TIE Strikers.

Although the HMC strategy gets some Imperial bases.

Now to be fair, I can see Clone Wars era warmaterial still being as powerful as it is in the game.

It was quite advanced while the Empire's warmachine seems to be built on an cheap budget.

I mean, look at their Mobile Heavy Cannon for instance. The one they built is easily worse than the Umbaran one from nearly three decades prior.

Also when the Empire nationalized the CIS arms industry, they put a lot of people out of work who could probably build, maintain and modify Clone Wars era tech so.

Another thing to note is that the AT-DT is Clone Wars era tech according to Sapanoza, and it makes a mockery out of a lot of other stuff in the game.

Is it me or are the Imperial Heroes much better?

I have access to the black AT-ST, AT-MP and AT-AT and they all seem leagues more powerful than the Rebel ones.

I only see Leia, Han and Chewbacca most of the time and one of the most recent raids on my base was the first time I ever saw the rebel AT-TE hero, which was underleveled and quite frankly terrible.

And of the first three heroes mentioned above, I think all of them have gone down quite easily during heroic defenses against the Imperial Heroes, even when those Heroes are a level lower than they are.
