i use thermals, i bought a couple crates of imps for 96k each and i am really not happy with them, sure the max is better than thermals but thermals have ahigher tendency of hitting over 3k plus they are way cheaper.

also thermals have a higher armor penetration then imps, so in my opion imps are given way to much credit.

Thermals for sure. In addition to the price and radius mentioned aboce, they have Medium AP which makes up for the lower damage done by the imps which don't have Medium AP (I think). Also, stand inside the lair for max radius damage

depends on what's for sale and the stats on each. some WS's have better imps than thermals, because of the stuff required to make them.

dnno bout your alls servers, but on here, i got aguy supplying me with imp's at 44k per crate, but iv also seen em for 70-85k per. then i got quoted on 100k a crate for thermals. so the choice is obvious for me.

Thermals all the way.

Reasoning:
Imp Dets -
Average price = around 100k a crate
Attack Radius = 4.0m

Thermal Dets -
Average price = 60k a crate
Attack Radius = 7.0m

Suggested lair to stand on = Piket types, Piket Protector (Fierce Pikets) being best with 3500-5500 average combat xp per Piket kill... I don't recall any Piket Protector lairs that spawned babies, tho I do remember that Piket Walker lairs averaged the most babies of all the Piket lairs, usually 2-6 at worst..


Explanation of the above: Standing on a Piket lair and tossing Imperial Dets will hit only those within a 4.0m radius of you so to hit 3-4 per grenade you have to be standing directly on top of the lair. However, using Thermal Dets will hit anything within 7.0m radius. This means u can be 1-2m off the actual center of the lair and still kill everything attacking you, which is usually the 4-8+ Pikets that are attacking you at this time...

I used Thermals and would average 45 minutes or less to cap my Combat xp. I tried the Imp Dets when my Thermal supplier was sold out. Didn't like them... Shortest time to a Village run averaged around 1 hour to 1hr and 20mins...

Summary: Use thermals and go for the Piket Protector lairs (or any Piket lair missions u can find fast).

same here, I am paying 45k per crate for imp detonators so that is why I am using them.

Having used both therms and imps alot against Baz Nitches I found very little difference between the two. I typically favor thermals for the bigger radius but i'll go for whichever's cheaper. Most of the time I seem to find either for around 50k per crate of 25 on Eclipse.
