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. 1/5 | ||

Perhaps not having all rines in such a big clump would be better? :o yep, i decided to go back to my base during this encounter and when i came back a majority of my army was dead. probably didnt help that my tanks were firing at frontline ultras and probably one hit ko'ing a bunch of my marines either. :D | ||

Also by the time he has ultras you can probably be to at least 2-1 or 2-2. Maybe with that and slightly better unit positioning you'd fair better although we didn't see the game and see how far ahead/behind he is economically leading up to this. This. Ultras raped unstimmed marines that are behind on upgrades in SC1 also. It's just that you also had tanks/irradiate to clean up the mess. Tanks are different (not necessarily worse overall, but certainly worse against ultras), and Raven Hunter Seekers don't do nearly as much damage as Irradiate. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Ultras are so fucking bad in sc2 since marauders are around. Like it's literally a joke | ||
