It's a matter of priorities. I'm not sure if the Sunken would prioritize the Marine over the Tank. If it didn't, then the trick would still work. What I do know for sure, though, is that if the Marine is NOT attacking the Sunken, the trick DEFINITELY works. EDIT: Image added of Sunken owning tank! | ||

For example, if you force a Hydralisk to attack something, it won't stop even if a Marine starts to interrupt it. Aww, another question, if you have your overlord in range of something else, can you hit something like an enemy nexus if you have one of his units in the range of your sunk. If this works, I can totally see this killing enemy pools and spires on icc and theyll be like wtf hax? That should be fucking awesome . I need someone to try it out with me. PM me if you can make on icc and want to test some of this shit. | ||

It goes for AI priority which is whatever is the strongest unit attacking it. Nexus is not a threat so it wouldn't attack nexus. | ||

So it could work vs enemy canons in main if my opponent 3 zeal attacks. Also this can actually make proxy hatches in ZvP for pushing purposes REALLY viable | ||

The only worry is the Sunk getting enough hits before your Hatchery dies. You can actually practice Sunken micro and time it so that the pre-attack sequence begins JUST before the Cannon fire hits the Hatchery. Then your Sunk can hit the Cannon every single time. Sunken micro is kinda hard though. If you tell it to stop, it keeps going sometimes. | ||

Sunks destroy canons anyways | ||
