I'm shit at throwing 'nades for killing but the Thermal is useful for flushing out people or preventing them from advancing.
Indeed, i'm back to my usual loadout of Ion Torp-Ion Shot-Thermal Det, with alternate version changing the Ion Shot for Explosive Shot. (If i use a pistol or shotgun, i use Explosive Shot.)
Ion Torpedo sucks because DICE nerfed it too much but there is no other reliable way to kill droids (fast), AT-STs and annoy fighters.
I've seen enough games to know just a few Ion Torpedos can make a big difference (even in its nerfed state, just needs more of them), either clearing skies to allow your side's air supremacy, or deal with AT-STs.
Smart Rockets and Ion Disruptors are all fine and cool, but they're too randomly available to be reliable.
No other cards are as useful as these two, being too limited. One infantry kill rarely helps team as much as scaring away aircraft or AT-STs does.
