Well for one thing about the defense...IS THAT ZION DOESNT HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES AND MAN POWER TO DO SUCH THINGS!! Heres a list for ferill :
1. The APU's werent all bunched together like sardines...it was only that Captain and his two officers that were ever side by side while all the other APU's were strategically placed and you can see that just by looking where the gun fire was coming from on the docks
2.Well...yes, the people coming out to reload them was a crappy idea but i dont see you thinking of a better idea...and by the way it made it seem more real then just having the APU's with unlimited supply of ammo. Im guessing only the grunts have the electrical weapons as APU's were mechanical and werent powered by electricity
3. Those missles were too small to be taking out 5-10 Sentinals per hit and it was a good idea too place them with Grunts as the bulk of Sentinals would most likely go for APU's with guns blazing then a small 2 person team.
4.It seemed like the launchers would be a lot more bulky if it would've been pre-loaded so that the bulk of the load would be shared between two people and only loaded when needed.
5.Airburst Emp-missles would've been a good idea but it really was better invested with the ships but they probably didnt put into the fact later..that the whole fleet was wiped out but two ships.
6.That thing about the tanks once again relates to my opening statement 'IS THAT ZION DOESNT HAVE ALL THE RESOURCES AND MAN POWER TO DO SUCH THINGS!!' after building all the ships, all the APU's look like they've been made from the left over metal.

1. much more then just the commander were grouped together, and even if they were spread about, they had no direct cover and were using bullets for a ranged attack.
2. if they had cover then the reload guys could hid there with marines, reload the APU's and cover the APU's if a sentinal gets on them.
3. i meant having a small amout of HE (high-explosive) missiles on the APU's that were fired off at the start of the battle, and then the launchers could be discarded and picked up by other marines.
4. the launcher would not be much heavier with missiles loaded, but what i mean is that when they got to their destination they reloaded, leaving them open for about 10-20 seconds.
5. we agree.
6. i see what you mean there, heavy artillery is a bit much, but they should have covered up the APU's abit more so they had less important parts sticking out.
