You probably only had a single TIE to fight him - in that *very specific* case, is when R2D2 really shines. Otherwise, against 2+ enemies, it cannot repair damage fast enough (if it did, you should blame your maneuvering and tactics skills). In multi-core/expansion matches, R2D2 is considered either too expensive or redundant. Personally, I see it more as a deterrent than as a practical advantage (since green maneuvers are extremely predictable).
