They employed sstormtroopers as garrisson troop sin many places, instead of using them as shock assualt teams as they were ment to be used. Also, the lack of any combat capable atmospheric aircraft is a tremondous oversight, and most likely a direct result of the Emporers relative military incompitance. The Empire had such massive resources, adn why the hell didnt they come up with a combat aircraft to support troops on the ground? And in many cases, when equipment was available, overconfident Imperial Commanders refused to use them! truly a damn shame. "Fear will keep the local systems in line..." The Empire relied on fear and overwhelming displays of strength and power to keep people in line. For the most part, it worked. Out of the thousands of star systems in the Empire, only a small handful dared oppose the Empire openly. Look at how many ships the Rebels had; barely any at all. If it wasn't for Luke Skywalker, the Rebellion would have been crushed easily, no matter what tactics the Empire used.
