example: 1 darkswarm + 2 lurks can make a way completely impassable(?) for a whole terran army while you can easily counter his main with all you got. example 2: 1 darkswarm + 2 lurks can completely shut off an oponnents expansion. not only that, but thanks to consume you can pretty much cast swarm over and over again. The only way effective way to kill those is obviously irradiate. but its pretty much impossible, thx to the ai, to keep vessels alive vs zerglings + scourges. | ||

Matrix a firebat^_^ Irradiate the lurkers. That's where you need the sick apm of progamers (nada irradiating is o_O) | ||

What I find peculiar is that Zergs tend to use it to actually get back to the game, rather than to increase their advantage if they have one. I think that's one very common mistake in ZvT. I also don't know why Terrans don't make a whole lot of Firebats (meaning 10+) when they do encounter Zerglings + Swarms (no Lurkers). You shouldn't get carried away with the number of Vessels though. 8 is absolutely enough, you don't gain from having more. But then again, you know, every race has its moment in the game. Early game for Zerg is rock, paper, scissors which was proved in the recent BoxeR vs YellOw series. | ||

Why cry about one imbalance, there are quite a few. There is a strategy forum for things like this. | ||

Making loads of firebats is good vs swarm regardless isn't it :O I mean if you matrix them they can deal with decent amounts of lurkers and hydras wont hit them/lings die horribly. And ehm tanks hitting them to kill lurkers I guess could work? | ||

10 tanks + M&M with ups 2:2 is able to crush a huge number of zerg units. | ||

I think that's one very common mistake in ZvT. Yea i noticed that too, especially at my own zvt, i tried to improve it though, but i think the main factor is that dark swarm is indeed very micro intensive, thus the perfect moment to use it when you have less units to control. when i have 150 supply hydra/lurk i find it amazingly hard to get a few defilers and micro my dark swarm effectively | ||
