I thought about it all day, how to make a 5E competitive list for the German GT's for wuestenfux.

Has to scale from 1750 to 2000.

It's very heavily themed.

a very interesting list

Indeed, both lists are competitive:
2 Farseers, 2/3 Harlie squads, 4/5 Pathfinder squads, 3x2 Vypers, 3x2 Weapon Platforms.
How will the Vypers do in the 5th ed?

Killing Vypers isn't that difficult unless they have Holo-fields, but if they have cover saves

However, sitting at 48" range tossing out plasma missile barrages will put a crimp in people's day--especially with Doom up.

While not the best anti-tank, they are capable of it.

It's a combined damage table, and vehicles just don't like to die. Even with as good a chance at it as Vypers without holofields.

I know from experience that alot of vehicles is a serious pain in the ass to deal with. stjohn regularly beats down my morale with his vehicle armies. When you hit 12 vehicles, it's very difficult to deal with.

Toss in some creative play and people are going to be packing in the heavy weapons to put vehicle armies away.

This list isn't vehicle heavy, and in reality it won't be trying to knock out every vehicle--just get them attritioned away.

Against all armies, I think you'll find the Vypers invaluable. Just don't run two. Run six to nine of them.

It makes all the difference in the world.

The new rules say that area terrain do not block LoS, right?
If so, the Weapon Batteries are in more in danger to get shot down since they can't be hidden.

They get randomized hits and cover saves.

Not a perfect defense, but really in an army like this if they're shooting lascannons that will do the following...who cares?

Hit .66
Random to Guardian .66
Wound 83.3
Save .50

What's that, a 18.1% chance to kill a Guardian?
A 9% chance to kill a gun?

Sure, fire lascannons at me.

Seems like a surefire plan to me...
