It's too ideal in its purpose and pretty useless in multiplayer. Quite a cool unit though... at least used well in the "kill Tratos" mission.

I always found them useless, although they dealt damage with the Genetic mutator superweapon (argh, I hated the superweapons). 2. Works well against the AI, but is useless against human players (since they can be removed by repairing the vehicles). 3. I found the base TS jumpjet infantries too expensive compared to the SAMs which could easily kill multiple jumpjet infantries. 4. Infantry units have low health in RA1 (and in TD), so the medic is quite useless. However in TS the medic is really useful, especially if you use jumpjet infantries. 5. I've never used it, so I don't know how useful it is.

He uses every fcking unit wrong, obviously they're going to be useless. Why would you send a Brute at a horde of GI's, a single medic with a group of soldiers with bullets everywhere. Who the fck walks a theif right into a defended base and why did he put it in the APC first knowing it would exit first. Jumpjet troopers are only good for scouting in all fairness, they're not that good at much else unless you're attacking infantry while flying. As for the Limpet Drone, nobody buys them for a reason.

They gave me a few good smiles when I saw them first time. Obviously you can make any unit useless if you use it wrong. But to be honest, every one of these units (well, maybe excluding Brute) has some big flaws. Jump Jet Infantry were too slow, so you couldn't evade if you accidently ran into a pair of SAMs. They were good in some missions, but the fool who uses them in multiplayer (except for early scouting) is doomed to loose the game. Limpet Drone is a rather interesting unit, too bad you can't spy a human Nod player base by attaching them to Harvesters the way you would in skirmish (the Nod player can just send a repair drone to repair the harvester). RA medic is useless because of its tiny range. I'm often frustrated when it can't even heal a group of slow moving rocket troopers because it has to be right next to the patient. Thiefs are just too hard to get to the refinery or silo, and a single rifle soldier can kill them in one or two shots. This post has been edited by Crimsonum: Apr 3 2010, 02:20 PM

That's what I do online. They're excellent for scouting, or for making annoyances against your army like attacking their harvesters - they'll spend money on mobile A units like rockets or hmlrs to deal with your pathetic jumpjet, just to shut EVA up about their harvester being under attack - early in the game, this can get you an edge over them -------------------- STAFF ON: Tiberian Odyssey<>XTX<>TS:Rise of Omnious<>C&C Dusk<>Massive Map Pack VOXELS: Black Tank<>Hot air balloons!<>Caboose-Bus<>*12 CIVILIAN VOXELS!* <> 11 Unused Vox SHPs: *Small Buildings Contest 2007* <> Shoop Da Core<>Monster Truck for RA1 AUDIO: Super Mario vs Tiberian Sun <>Act on Instinct [Blackster Remix]<> Recreated TS beta EVA voice MAPS: [FS] Arrgh <> [FS] Team Black's test map <> *[FS] Siege City (2-4)* <> *GCC 2008 Map Pack*

They can just build... Well in TS you can build a tech center, lose it, but still have the tech from it. Same with AI. In RA2 you can build a battle lab, lose it, but not have the tech from it.

Tick Tank Group: Members Posts: 690 Joined: 4-June 07 From: Finland Member No.: 957 Alliance: Nod Favorite game: Tiberian Sun	Actually I've played a lot against my own, much tougher AI, and I noticed that in base TS you can just build a jumpjet infantry, shoot an AI's attacking taskforce with it and fly away. Since the jumpjet is an infantry unit and the AI doesn't understand that it can fly, the units try to shoot back while they can't and will just follow the jumpjet as long as it flies instead of attacking your base. Of course, when I had enough jumpjets and some medics I could just destroy all of the AI's attacking forces without losing anything. To fix this I've added either hovers or rocket infantries or reapers to almost all AI's taskforces, so I can't use jumpjets like that anymore. Also, the AI doesn't care about building prerequisites. For example, it can build disruptors even if it would have never had a tech center.
