Galactic Assault tip:
For the Assault class use your vanguard ability at the start of the round and each phase to quickly get to the objective sooner.
This works best if your're the attackers on the first phase at the start of the round (especially on Kamino for the droids). You can get to the objective before the defenders this way and if you can hold off some of the defenders at the point(s) long enough for everyone to move in you can get a foothold inside the rooms or areas faster and will save time/lives drastically without having to deal with all the choke points.
If you have friends to back you up using the same tactic this is more effective and easier to do. Especially if you can't hold off many enemies on your own for long.
Using officers health buff at the beginning of the round on Naboo Galatic Assault is helpful to protect against snipers , since at the beginning of the round the other team is direct opposite your entire team.
By the time you get to the first area to defend an officer with an EPIC recharge abilities and EPIC buff card will be 90+% recharged.
Use the officers dome shield to cap objectives which require you to hold a button (X button on Xbox One) either by holding it continuously or once to set the charge. I've won many games bum-rushing an objective , popping officers health buff (epic tier) and then quickly deploying a shield to cap an objective which requires you to hold a button continuously or once to set a charge timer. (alternately you can use the specialists shield to do the same thing on objectives which only require a quick button press and not a continuous hold)
The night vision scope (on any weapon) can *see through walls and cover once you've spotted the target in the scope if they go back behind cover you will notice you can see them through the cover now.
* needs verification , I'm almost positive this is true , I could see through the walls using night vision on officer weapon on Endor defending against rebels trying to take the main computer. I'm guessing once they're spotted through the scope , they can be visible through walls and cover for a short time.
If you're new to the game and are having trouble doing well, try to get familiar with the aerial troopers and droids , they are dirt cheap at 2000 and have amazing mobility. With just a few kills you can rack up 2000 pretty fast. Use aerials to pick away at opponents from a height advantages by getting to areas inaccessible to regular soldier classes , even heroes can't always get to you just keep distance from heroes so they can't use any of their freeze abilities. When you do get hurt quickly retreat away using all of the jetpack abilities to regain health , rinse repeat.
