Futuristic Faction Idea V2 (Detailed Version)

[GalacticAC]

It seemed that the modern faction will have a hard time being unique compared to world war faction so why not merge put them in a "modern warfare faction" and make the last faction contain some unit from near future :D? Since old neon faction were criticized for being too op
I decided to make a faction that contains balanced (Hopefully) units with easy-to-implement mechanics.

Droid - Basic Unit of the faction, have very low health (Same as other basic units), have a laser pistol as a weapon, the laser pistol look similar to the neon laser pistol, it fire once per 1-3 seconds and have a moderate damage (Slightly higher than arrows but much lower than spears)
Its AI is also kinda dumb, and it have trouble aiming at fast or close objects
Sugested Price: 400-600

Drone- Basic air unit, get once shotted by basically anything, have a light laser gun mounted (Similar to laser pistol, have less damage but shoot once per 1-2 seconds)
Sugested Price: 500

Ranger - Elite unit, wears power armor (allows it to have a bit more health than other basic unit but still can't take many hits) Its weapon will be a weaker version of old m16 that Fires a bit slower, deal less damage (still can one shot weak units tho) do not have knock back and still have pretty low accuracy.
Sugested Price: 1000-2000

Devastator - A powerful melee unit, wears power armor (which give it health similar to the king or jarl). Its weapon is a nerfed version of lightning hammer showcased in one of the landfall video earlier, it can 2 shot basic units and have a moderate chain damage in form of chained lightning.
It also have berserker's leap behavior.
Sugested Price: 2000-3000

Sentinel - Bipedal robot armed with 2 lightning blaster that fires zeus's lightning with slightly more damage at a rate of 1 shot per second, this unit will have mid-high health, being able to take some hits, a catapult strike is going to threaten it tho...
Sugested Price: 3500-4500

Heavy Sniper - A solider comes with a heavy railgun, shoots very slowly (Snake archer level of slow) but deals massive damage in a line ( more damage than ballista) and also some explosion along the way. Still, it have very low health and can be taken down easily in melee.
(It will not be ready to fire when the battle begin so don't think about having a first strike advantage with them)
Suggested Price: 2500-3500

Hover tank - A light tank that is armed with a laser cannon (similar with napoleon cannon but slightly more splash radius and higher central damage, at the cost of a bit longer reload time) and two laser gun (similar to drone's laser gun but fires a bit faster). It have two battle modes: fight one the ground like a normal tank, or fly in the air and bombard ground units. It will be one of the tankier units, but still get much less health than the modern tank (hopefully we will have this)
Suggested Price: 8000-10000

Land Cruiser - Faction boss, and probably the final boss unit of the game. Although having a low movement speed, it have insanely high health and attack damage. It's armed with two powerful railguns (probably even stronger than the ones from heavy railgun) as main weapon and four lightning blaster from sentinel to mow down light units. To get an impression of what it will look like, look up tanks in warhammer 40k or starcraft's siege tank for reference.
Suggested Price: Can't really estimate this, probably above 40k

That's all, please give some constructive feedback, and I'm excited to see how mods react to this :D

Your faction seems to me to be even more OP than the old Neon Faction. And far too expensive and almost only ranged.
But i like the details.

After 2000 year of advancement units are going to be op... and the price is used to counter that
(and who melees in modern war anyways...)

Of course it would be "more realistic" to take around 670 clubbers against one of your tanks but that would not be TABS anymore. There is no Tyranides against Space Marines.
It is also not normal for ancient Greece to fight against the Stone Age.
As I said, your faction is nicely detailed but it still needs to be improved.

All units are made with balancing in mind so they are not unkillable and can be countered with correct units, also keep in mind that we will have more powerful units in later faction like pirate factions
(keep in mind that even if their attack are powerful, we can still give them lower accuracy, you don't expect a tabs unit to be good at shooting anyways)
Droid can be countered by berserker and other unit with charge attack
Valkyries can tear through formation of drones
Ranger is powerful at ranged, but still a shield formation or a group of archers placed well can kill him
Devastator can take out multiple weak units easily, but it can't perform well against strong elite units (jarl, king, mammoth)
Sentinel have similar weakness to zeus, it can be overwhelmed in melee (berserker will be a good choice) and since it attack range is not long a ballista or even some spear thrower can take it down
Heavy sniper have a very low fire speed, use that as a advantage and kill it either with some archers or some fast moving units
Hover tank is good dealing with weaker units but its still weak against strong attacks, on ground it can be destroyed by a mammoth and in air mode it can still be taken down by a group of valkyries , or even rocket launcher (which are probably making it into world war faction) and a modern tank (which is also likely to get added) can kill it without too much difficulty
Land Cruiser is supposed to be hard to kill given its the faction boss of a very powerful faction, but keep in mind that although its powerful, it lacks enough mobility and it's cannon takes a while to rotate ,so a smart combination of units (or even with the help of upcoming modern units) can kill the strongest unit in game
