Empire at War: are Sith not that good?

All guides i find online write that Darth Vader is one man army super unit that can take planets in ground battle at his lonesome, but i found him to be too underwhelming. what he is great blaster magnet and that's it. Emperor is kinda weak as well. Jedi hero on other hand are all fucking OP as hell...

I unironicaly prefered it over other NuCom clones just because it didn't have the shitty action points system. Could it have been better? Yes, definetly. But the combination of unique mechanics and the real time aspect made it really fun. Just a shame we'll never get an expansion.
