Sort of. They could be used to supplement tanks and regular infantry in a Fallujah style scenario I guess.
A limited number might be useful as an intimidation "don't mess with us" factor even in lower intensity situations.
But I can't see much more than that especially early on.
Cost, logistical issues and inherent trade offs will limit their use.
In the longer run robots will be preferable anyway. |

Re: Body Armour
None of these will matter when the alien masters arrive.
Speaking of which, any mod that lets you play as any of the countries, against an alien invader?

IIRC, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
There was some I believe German-made (I specifically recall unit names in German) mod for mebbe even good ole' Steel Panthers 2 themed on War of the Worlds, generally WotW redux with more Martian units (not just tripods) and also nice steampunk Terran units (steam tanks etc).

Ha ha! The question I was too scared to ask!
It was that thought that made me ask about body armour in the first place, as I was half tempted to have ago at a mod myself. |

Re: Body Armour
Stars Wars and Steel Panthers would be very interesting. But themClone soldiers (and Stormtroopers) wear armour, dammit!
