Ultra Splash will shatter pure Marine, sucks you had to learn the hard way. But theres a whole slew of issues with your SS (Get ready for some awesome backseat SC2'ing);

1) You have no Marauders, which is the bio counter to Ultras, even more so then tanks. Even just a small group with stim will shred an Ultra in no time.

2) You have 15 Medivacs? That's an insanely high number to me. Get some Ravens, Marauders, or at least something else with that gas. Even if you were planning on dropping, I don't think you'd need that many to try and kill his tech. Even if you only had 3 ravens at half energy, you could have thrown down 6 turrets for a quick wall.

3) Your tanks are in the open, why? Either cliff them in the middle of the map so they can shell, or keep them behind the walls.

4) 1-1 Upgrades won't get you very fair vs Ultras, I learned that the hard way as well.

1. Tanks do less damage in SC2
2. Ultras have more HP
3. You don't have medics to make it harder for ultras to get to your marines
4. You have stimmable infantry with + bonus to armor damage, yet you are using none.
5. You have thors, yet are using none.

result = gg.

tanks do more damage with shift+focus fire then in sc1
And all is illuminated.

13 Medivacs - 1300/1300
74 Marines - 3700
10 Siege Tanks - 1500/1250
Total Cost - 6500/2550

13 Ultralisks - 3900/2600
Total Cost - 3900/2600

74 Marines - 3700
10 Siege Tanks - 1500/1250
Total Cost of Casualties - 5200/1250

5 Ultralisks - 1500/1000
Total Cost of Casualties - 1500/1000

A 4000 mineral swing inside ten seconds. Pretty sexy.

[EDIT] I guess it's the equivalent of A-moving mass mnm into a siege tank line in SC1.
But why?

if you do that they don't "overdamage" any unit, but they intelligently share the damage. If the first attacked unit would die from 3 hits, the fourth tank will already shoot the next attacked unit.

Aside from the negative tone of this post he's 100% right. This is what I thought when I saw this OP. Ultras are so fucking bad in sc2 since marauders are around. Like it's literally a joke
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

yep except even if i did that in sc1 (a move 74 units directly into their hard counter) i could expect to at least come out even. i was taken by surprise but apparently everyone else knows ultras mow down armies 7x their size while only losing 5 units.
the world's a playground. you know that when you're a kid, but somewhere along the way everyone forgets it.
