One thing to consider with units like this is that in PvP your opponents probably know that the salamander is a great unit and attack it first allowing you to utilise something else while they waste time knocking it down.

Personally while my enemy is wasting turns hitting my salanders I'm busy taking out the majority of their back rows of artillery etc with my h.recons. Some might say that is an expensive strategy when you don't often get to use them as they die often but salamanders have helped me a great deal in single-player too and serve brilliantly as a not too obvious meat-shield in PvP and so they have worked out as a worth while purchase for me.

Besides that, that have a good variation of attack patterns from the start which should suite any player style and of course their attacks look cool to boot!
