I have a TvP question - strategically, how do you counter a 3 Base weak carrier switch (bulk of his economic power is still in his dragoon mass) if from the very start you know your opponent won't go arbiters? I imagine the simple answer is to just add a proportional number of goliaths to your mech force as you notice the stargates/beacon, but since the ensuing micro/macro battle requires twice as much skill from the Terran and if the Protoss does enough damage to either component of your forces he can just blow right through the rest, I'm pondering other things, like midgame builds and specialized timing pushes, that I might be able to add on at other layers of the game. | ||

You won't like the answer, but from my experience, the best counter is the Flash build with armory before 3rd CC. So if you suspect him to go carriers get early upgrades. With +2 attack you only need 3 shots to kill an interceptor instead of 4, which kills them way faster obviously. You should also not produce too many tanks after the first engagement, as they will hurt you more than help versus a zealot heavy army, build vultures instead. If you have a macro advantage, for example getting your 3rd CC up with only 1 fac versus standard 3base Protoss opening, you can go for a 9fac +1 timing attack without building a starport or science facility at all. But without an advantage (or vs a Protoss who only knows dragoons and zealots) this doesn't work too well. | ||
