Use the rebels’ ability to do raids frequently, but only on planets without much in the way of vehicle garrisons. Vader, Palps, Luke, and Han and Chewie are great. Speeders, TIE Fighters, and the fighters that come with field commanders are really really good.ĭon’t learn the hard lesson the Empire did about the power of Rebel starfighters! Always bring anti-starfighter support in with capital ships.



The AI tends to suck at dealing with air units on the ground. Try to always have 1 or 2 artillery pieces with an invading ground army. This goes for land and space battles.Īrtillery is generally OP for all factions and across most mods, but this is particularly true for the Rebs in vanilla. Also, the AI tends to focus fire on one unit at a time, so sending one thing out is a great way to get wrecked. Don’t be afraid to turtle up and wait for the enemy to waste their units trying to break your lines. To give you an example in a game with another player i had the Executioner three star destroyers and about seven Acclamator's in a fleet that went up against four Mon Calamari ships, two assault frigate, 10 squads of X-wings, 9 squads of Y-wings and about 2 A-wings despite my numerical advantage once the hangers fell on the Star destroyers without tie support my ships where sitting ducks to Y-wing assaults which for the most part killed the engines on all my space craft letting the Mon Calamari ships destroy them all without much chance to fight back as they could move out of range once their shields went down and let the Assault frigates fire at them from rangeĪlways move your forces forward together slowly, never rush into battle or let one unit be out on its own without support. Then you got air battles with the exception of the Death star which can one shot any ship Rebel ships have the upper hand on Empire ships, the X-wing is better then the Tie and once you take out the hangers on a Star destroyer it's got little to defend itself and can't fight one vs one with a Mon Calamari ship. Robles have more Ground options when it comes to infantry such as Anti Tank and while weaker a lot of the rebels late game units are cheaper or are very good at dealing with Tanks so a lot of the Empires tech is pretty negated if you know how to play to your advantages especially since the Empire is honestly just spam.
