I have mainly played the coalition in the past and was the first I used the campaign mode, but, recently, I used dummy faction probably the most I ever have done.
I have always thought of the dummy faction as a cheaper, nastier alternative to the coalition, but playing the campaign as them, they just seemed underpowered. Their basic weapons have a range limit, they obviously have less choice, their scouting rifle seems very inferior to the coalition equivalent and their heavy weapons are still nothing on the coalition. This is then worsened by the obviously fragile nature of the dummy bots.
I was wondering what others thought about the subject and perhaps give me advice if I'm doing something wrong.

The nailer cannon works fairly well. One of their advantages is that they don't bleed out.

Yeah I resorted to the nailer cannon for longer distances. Tbf, I just noticed the big price difference between the dummy and coalition sniper rifles, but the dummy version does seem kinda pathetic. Also, despite lack of bleeding, I don't really think the dummy and coalition basic soldiers should be a mere 10 gold difference. Obviously, this is just my opinion and I completely adore this game.
Any other dummy advantages?

Unless this changed within the last few builds then the dummies are more resistant to kinetic impulse than their organic counterparts.

By kinetic impulses, do you mean explosions/explosion shockwaves?

That, and general impacts.
