Get omniscience. I just played a game against someone with it and, even though my teamate and I had 3 calliopes and a ton of infantry, and even though we killed unit after vet 3 unit of his, the los boost literally killed us.

It literally killed you? Did the LOS give you damage over time or something? 
What I don't like about omniscience is how your opponents have no way of knowing it's present, they should get a warning at the start of the game. MI should give a simular signal when being used too, just like the recon run.

Who cares about the recon run, I wanna know about the strafing run before it comes in and kills all my knights cross and stormtrooper schrecks.

Rocket Artillery.

You just have to use it right and carefully select your targets. Dont just drop it on the blob,  the enemy will either have moved by the time it comes down, or see the smoke, avoid it and move away. Call it on the movement path of units, suppressed units, in conjunction with MI on idle units when the controllers attention is elsewhere, on the calliope the moment it starts firing. Or draw some tanks into a chokepoint where they block each other and drop some rockets on their heads.

I killed 10 squads of rifles last game with 2 firestorms uses by simply having a sniper scout their supply lines and then dropping FS on the path of the advancing rifles. And what was the alternative again? Sight range bonus, wtf.

It doesn't really do anything FS doesn't.

No, but that doesn't matter when he knows where everything is

Use Scouting jeeps.

If you drop rocket artillery on AT guns, will it kill the AT guns ?

What I mean, is will it actually factually blow them up ? Or can it leave them alive.

Additionally, can AT guns flee before the rockets drop ?

Nope, Rocket Artillery is basically guaranteed death for the crew and the ATG. That is why it was so effective against Tank Reapers in the past wars. The only way for an ATG to dodge Rocket Artillery is if it was already moving. Be sure to center the bombardment on the ATG though.
