Holy Shit, cant you just attack your own lings then switch target to kill the seige tanks? Shit, this has potential for insane abuse and potential to make those mid game pushes even more hell vs T. Im so going to try this

Thanks for the awesome tip.


That doesn't work because force-attacking overrides the Starcraft unit AI. 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.


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


Yes, if your Sunk hits Zealot and the Cannon hits one of your units (Hatchery maybe) it would work. 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.


How about I build another sunk to take fire? then allow the other sunk to do the work while its at it. Sunks destroy canons anyways


I tried a test. Have fun: sunk owning bunker and tank

My guess though would be that if a Sunken push works, it's not because of this trick but because you would have won anyway haha cheers

I would call this a feature, wouldn't you?

Certainly not to be penalized, since it can happen unintentionally.

I can't get it to work in a single player game. Can anyone else get it to work?

I always knew there was something about sunkens that gave them opportunities to fire at longer ranges. I just assumed it was because the attack animation took so long that a unit could walk in and out of range and still get nailed (albeit delayed).

I guess this sorta explains the reaver at weird angles vs a sunken>

PS- Day[9]'s commentary yesterday about not thinking the sunken was in range of the canon was just a mistake on his part - it wasn't this bug.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

I wonder if this works on cloaked units. In theory, it should...

It won't, for the same reason that a Hydralisk will run away from a cloaked attacker rather than acquire it as a target.

So in theory all units are still effected by the bug but its really hard to recreate.

I hope to god they don't fix it because most likely all previous reps will be corrupt and they will inevitably fuck something else up, because they would most likely reduce the pre attack sequence of the sunken.


Unless progamers find some serious game breaking usage of this, don't patch it imo.

PS- It never ceases to amaze me how many bugs and exploits are still discovered pretty regularly in this game after 11 + years. Makes me wonder if, when the game dies, there was some crazy strategies that were never even seen because some bugs were never discovered.
