It is dealt with great pleasure, taken with great pain.

I'm positive that things will be balanced, though i do hope that AT-ST's will atleast be a force to be reckoned with, i've seen more ATST's heads pop in the latest trailer than champaign bottles on a christmas party.

A good walker pilot can last for whole rounds if they know when they need to retreat. Good teamwork takes a walker down in matter of seconds if the walker pilot is foolish to walk into a trap. The walker is best at supporting infantry on direct assault on enemy positions, great for flanking the enemy and surprising them but also, if you can park yourself somewhere clever and just sit there tightly guarding the flag, it makes it a great ambusher. Also, the enemy will have to deal with a rampant walker first due it is a great menace to them. A walker patrolling an area is scary if it spots you, so use cover if you dont have anything to take it down. Firing blasters at it just because you are a rambo-soul is like whacking a hornets nest, will only make the walker pilot mad.

But blaster fire can also distract the walker. I have been taken out by very clever teamwork maneuvers, must admit that I was stupid enough to fall for them. A guy shoots with a blaster to get my attenttion. Then the anti-vehicle crews pop out of nowhere like mushrooms during rain and rain their personal hell upon me. Nasty stuff.

But the point being, the walker takes rather nice beating as it is now, but its not invincible. Quick strikes always works and its not pathetic to retreat to far away location just to repair the walker just so you can fight the another day.
