The demolisher's artillery shot + shockwave should have made short work of the scout... you shouldn't need any weapons... you must have had an off day. I find qweqqweq's assertions of the scout over the light tank to be overstated. I can easily get to a ttank well before a scout has all those upgrades. Also in a Ttank I can farm better mid game and I have decent burst damage in the lightning + chain lightning.
The scout is just ok... the imba arguments is from pro's playing range games early on and just frustrating the heck out of people. In one game as a scout a light tank with a fireball was able to get it just right where a rocket + 1 fireball would kill me. I hugged the tower until I was able to farm a Ttank. He made the mistake of getting a 2nd fireball and a rocket first before I upgraded. From there I just ran him over. 2200 + 3300 for the weps that he chose vs the 3900 I used for the ttank. Course approx 750 was from killing me.
Farming with a team mate you should be able to keep up with a scout in a light tank or heli ... it's just a heck of a lot more work...
Vs. multiple ranged scouts get a troop command fast just like you would any ranged opponent. Vs ranged scouts + a sniping demo... T.T
