he is a great character, in my opinion, to kill other characters especiallly in tunnels, but in AOW patch is usually worthless to the team, which is why he is so rarely used, and so often forgotten.

They do surprising damage against buildings, but nothing compared to Gunner.

Patch, however, is good for beacon rushes...

"Underrated" my ass.
I thought I was being creative when I started using Patch in online games. Of course, I was wrong. I noticed that a lot of other players were using Patch, Gunner, and Sydney to their leisure as well. Going on the other side, however, I see a lot of Laser Black Hands on that side. The closest thing to a Sydney they have is actually a Stealth Black Hand in terms of firing rate and damage, but the Rocket Officer can't even compare to Gunner.(Which is odd, considering Rocket Officers in Single Player mode had the same firing rate and damage as Gunner, but Rocket Soliders were the same as GDI Rocket Soldiers. Where did the Rocket Soldiers go?)

The rocket soldiers carry shotguns in multiplayer so it calls them shotgun troops. They carry shotguns because they're only base level soldiers. Higher levels are armed with a rocket launcher and that head equipment you see on some.

Well Patch's are pretty good for their money against infantry but i'd rather get an officer to do the job just as well. I think the difference between the two is the firing rate and the tiberium poisoning. Any unit is good if you're able to use it however. I don't think it's much underrated. I use it when/if I get bored of using an officer and decide to be a little different. I use a tib sydney too just because i find it funny when i get kills with it against, say, a sakura

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

You forgot to add that Pach costs twice as much as chaingun officer.
I think that Sydney does more damage to wehicles than Patch.
Overall, think patch is pretty usless. If the tiberum poisoning caused by his weapon lasted a bit longer, he would be much better;)
When you Compare Patch to Chem soldier, the only thing better about patch is that he has longer range.
I think that patch needs to be improved a bit.

Patch is an anti-sniper character. I have the hardest time killing patches and laser chaingunners when I have a sniper rifle than any other infantry.

well he didn't say "capture the flag servers", he is talking about renegade. And considering this game runs around money, wasting 450 on a patch to kill a sniper is pretty retarted. Considering you have a very good chance of just getting shot in the face as soon as you start shooting at him.. soldiers dont give the sniper any money, and soldiers dont get the other team any points.. thats why you should use a soldier aginst a sniper instead of a patch.

point being: that instead of using 450 dollars to kill a sniper; only to now have a completely useless unit for shooting a tank. Use a soldier and that way you won't lose any money and you can only gain money - then use the money to buy a tank. However I don't know why you're talking about a shotgunner and i wouldn't rely on them going against stanks. I would rather just shoot him for over a hundred points/credits with a soldier.
