GDI Zone Trooper

The GDI Zone Trooper

Zone Troopers are in my opinion, rather useless.  They are an anti-tank infantry, which means, they have a similar armor as an infantry unit but with the firepower of a tank.  If you already have way too many tanks and looking to do some cut-backs, then this might be an option for you.  I personally never used them and never will.  If you got some Predator tanks already, then there is absolutely no use for them and should be skipped until you have too many research points and credits.  The new upgrade, only makes them run faster when hit, so they can get themselves killed faster.  (lol)

*The Zone Trooper on the defensive end I find is better than the attacker version.  You can build a very powerful anti tank defense really quick with a few od .  Still not the best unit but a very good alternative for all my el-cheapos out there.

I'm sure some might find this unit useful but I don't.  I just use them on one of my "useless" bases that never attack anything massive.  I find it's much better to use air or ground anti-vehicle units.  Infantry is meant to go against other infantry and shoot at anything.  They "appear" to work good for Forgotten, which the Zone Trooper is the equivalent to a Rocket Fist, although the fists have a much more advanced defense.  Only get it once you consider the research costs "chump change".
