we know that when pvt, p will load shuttle with some zealots to take out tanks...

so i am thinking, when zvt, why not take some lings into your lord and drop at tanks when your hydra/lurk force is fighting them? i mean a crackling can took out a tank very fast and the MnM will not attack lord/ling automatically because hydra/lurk is higher proirty.

It can be useful when attacking a ramp or a chock in which Z has trouble get through and it gives a two front flank.

Is it valid? just a thought.

there are no spider mines to drag over and the tanks will be near eachother so no splash damage either.

basides the marines will just kill the lings when they unload

Lings are way faster than Overlords so it's much better to just run them in. It takes less micro that way too.

Im talking about like 12 lords with 3 lings in each... drop behind enemy line to create a kind of flanking
i am only thinking this because lings get killed if they charge at enemies in line formation and ling is only effective when upclose. loaded lords provide minimum fighting distance and is not in line formation.

but yeah, your right, ling is way faster than lord.

then dont run them in a line at the tanks like a fucking idiot. run them out of tank range then a move into them, and theyll attack in a line.

Also lings die way faster than zealots, even if there were spider mines I have a feeling the marines would rape them before the mine blows up in most cases.

36 lings unloading one by one will die too fast to make any kind of flank. you shouldnt be charging lings in line formation and if there is no way to avoid it force him to fight in a different spot or if you absoultely have to drop stuff out of range behind him and flank that way.
