I must say i find the Silent Hunter strategy somewhat unrealistic.
I find the doggies (forgot the name, sorry, i will just reffer to them as doggies) that it opens the path to not fitting to the whole concept.

Tau starts of with massive firepower and is clearly very good against infantery/heavy infantery and has many solutions to that. Kroot comes to add to that already inf supperiority a CC unit. ok, works fine with me. but doggies are too much!! better kroot? i find them dull and redundant. and not opening the other path (vicious attacker strat) means you dont get the good mix of antivehicle units. and i am actually quite worried about the antivehicle capabilities of this race. i hope i am wrong, but with the demo units, some artillary and some tanks/dreads used right detroys any tau army with no casualties.

I found the kroot hounds to slow to bother with.

Useless?? I found carnivore squads useless once the hounds were out, they last longer, and dish out like thrice the damage of the carnivoe squads.

The Tau's main method of anti-vehicle (broadsides) are not included in the demo. Can only hope them guys really rock vehicles world, or the tau are going to be very vunerable to them.

take stealth teams with fusions or crisis suits to take down vehicles.

kroot hounds are actually pretty good but i wonder how they'll stand to a good shooting army. the leaping attack does wonders atleast in the demo. i wonder how the krootox will be since that is a giant kroot like thing with a big gun on its back

Krootox is like a god in this game...

Thing has a gun that can blow everything apart, and it is a gorrila in CC!
