The Imperium's battleships are far less advanced than Tau ones in terms of technology except for Warp Drives. They are only more powerful because they are far bigger, and are more numerous. Technologically, they are crude compared to Tau Railgun and Ion technology, along with gravitic launchers and gravitic shields. Energy field technology is less advanced than Tau gravitic shields, but has roughly the same effects. Teleportation is obvious due to the Tau nature to not go in the Warp, which also makes all arguments about Warp related technology irrelevant. Comparing the Dark Age of Technology to now is also irrelevant, as the Imperium fell and has lost most of it. Saying "Oh, but we were better than you" is not the same as "we are better than you". By this reasoning, the Old ones would every single battle now, but the problem is that they don't exist anymore.
