Add to that the maneuverability of jetpack.
PS I once killed four of the Sith, one by one. And then I was kicked.

I think that difference shouldn't be made by the availability of the jetpack or not,but from the weapon type. The fact that the Clone Commanders(Which I suggest to rename to Arc Troopers) have BIG WEAPONS dosen't mean they must be stronger than regular Clone Troopers.
For me, ranged weapons must be divided in:
Heavy Guns-> Low Accuracy, Fast Shooting Speed, Big Magazines, High Damage
Light Guns-> High Accuracy, Medium Shooting Speed, Medium Magazines, Medium Damage
Pistols-> Low Accuracy, Fast Shooting Speed, Small Magazines, Low Damage
(Mandalorian Twin Pistols have Medium Accuracy,Extremely Fast Shooting Rate and same magazine size as other pistols, Double Damage)

This makes sense, but at close range the main thing - rate and damage. And if I have the tool to quickly reduce the distance ...
My main concern would be whether the jet packs have functioning warheads. IF the trooper has a jetpack, a destructive missile, AND a heavy machine gun, the result is way too overpowering.
I think that a jet trooper with a missile launching jetpack and a DC-17 is plenty strong enough as it is. Missile quantity had better be low too.

I would divide the clones in this way:
Privates - standard rifles, grenades, knives (in the wrist).
Scouts - Blasters (paired), knives, jetpacks, speeders, mines.
Heavy infantry - heavy weapons, when weapons prepared to shoot, movement speed reduced.
Officers - tactical ability (if any)
Perhaps mercenaries should be divided into two classes? New weapons for them planned? For example - in the left armlet.

Personally I think it's best for the clone classes to be something like this;
Standard Trooper - Rifle, Grenades, Knife
Jet Trooper - Carbine, Grenades, Jetpack, Knife
-Very mobile, high rate of fire but inaccurate at a distance
-Weaker armor (wookipedia mentions some sort of armor that was more suited for their job but offered less protection)
Heavy Trooper - Heavy Weapons, Explosives, Knife
-Slow moving but hard hitting
Officer - Dual Pistols or Carbine, Knife
-Tactical Ability
Standard Trooper - Rifle, Grenades, Knife
Jet Trooper - Carbine, Grenades, Jetpack, Knife

Let the player decide which items he buys. One or two trooper classes are enough IMO.

Well as we've seen in the Alpha people will abuse the more powerfull jobs, having more jobs but limiting the powerfull ones would probably be best for the game balance. The downside being that the people with low ping would be at a disadvantage, though there may be ways around this.

In a game with ordinary Battle Droids and Clone Troopers and also Sith lords and Jedi there will always be stronger soldiers. Might as well accept it and try to balance it, rather then only having Force users and Jetpack users flying around. In the Alpha server this happened, which will happen again if its not balanced. I actually prefered the randomised units in the unchanged Alpha, because this way the factions would be more balanced with most players being standard infantry.
That heavy clone is great!
But the map looks pretty patched together. Kind of a mix-match of Middle East buildings, irrigation farmland, and strange trenches. Considering the lack of proper props, the map is good, but it's just something to think about.
Keep it up!

Jedi - not super units. Droid can kill a Jedi, two droids - especially. Mercenary can kill Jedi one by one. But the "flying tank" - is a terrible weapon in the right hands. I can quickly reduce the distance, open heavy fire, and in case of danger - fly away and then attack again.
Lux said:I know you guys are fond of the Jedi and Sith, but I'd change them to Jedi and Dark Jedi and limit them to two or three units at most.
Also, you dont' have to worry too much about limited amount of scene props, I'll be helping with that
Indeed, Lux
