@EffenNewbie; So you are suggesting 12-13CP units costing 800MP-290Fuel as the counter to sim city which can be constructed 5 min in game? leIG has the same range as the pit, which gains vet in like 3 minutes and then it's invincible.
That level of brain functioning and communication would be acceptable if you were living in a cave far away from the civilized world, oh wait...
The JT is a counter to sim city if you haven't managed to take it down already, with any of the other counters.
I got the Advanced Emplacements commander as a random drop. When I started using it, my elo rating was around 250 in 1v1's. When I stopped, it was 500-ish. The counters that I listed were all ways that people wrecked my sim city (except that the JT was in a 2v2, not a 1v1). Building a 5 minute mortar pit is the worst thing you could do. You just gave up 2 units so any decent player will try to swarm it. If they take it down then gg.
