AT-DTs
Nerf them. Nerf them under the sun. Accuracy, damage dealt and remove that blasted AOE NAPALM ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Seriously.

The Empire's AI spams them like no tomorrow. For mobile artillery platforms on two legs, they're the most hyper-accurate, rapid firing and stupendously deadly AoE - Alpha damaging units in this mod. It's revoltingly stupid.

They're physically /broken/; out-ranging turbolaser defences and even sniping fast moving vehicles when they're mobile.

Will infantry do the trick? No, your infantry forces get utterly wiped by one or two shots.

Flank them? No, they'll turn 180° in a few seconds and gun your forces down. Also the AI gets to see the whole map anyway so it wouldn't matter at all.

Retreat? No, your tanks are on fire and died because the shot napalms you.

Attack with air? No, they'll snipe your air units as well because ♥♥♥♥ you, that's why.

Destroyed them, finally? No, here comes another horde of AT-DTs ready to ruin your game.

Will the rebels at some point in this mod finally be able to get ground units worth a damn to counter ♥♥♥♥ like this? Or do anything remotely useful? Or am I somehow having to resort to underlining measures of "spam tanks out of the Tractor Factory" and hope to god the AI presses the retreat button. We can't exactly build X-Wings on every single planet which is somehow triple the price of them on the ground as they are in space, and hope there's a direct counter to the Pinocchio-Machines of Galactic Extermination.

Is there anything to stop them or should I just press Auto-Resolve when they just appear on the roster in droves?

I totally agree. I'm playing as Rebels, about week 250. I was playing on easy difficulty, bumped up to medium at around week 50, and now I am getting absolutely flattened by the Empire. The AT-DTs are one of the main culprits on ground battles.
