Is it a must? I would implement it in my pvt if it is really usefull. I know once u get it it will have his advantages but do ya need it to control the game?

it very handy to keep up with vultures and dropships.

It's no must, but it's very usefull to stop harassments.

-obs. speed main reason as rekrul said is to keep after goons mainly because of killing minefields. Also speed may help if terran builds turret and your obs is nearby it will run faster from tower take less damage and hopefully survive. Catching dropships with obs may be an interesting idea though if u place your buildings/units effectively over the map u don't need it.
-obs range main reason would probably be to scan a greater part of terran camp when it has already been turreted.

Basically my opinion is: if you cannot determine difference between wide-range and non-upgraded obs, don't do the upgrade. If you do feel difference between fast and slow obs, do upgrade when you have free money. The first rule of BW!! Along with "explore", "build appropriate units", "never stay idle" etc.

if you knew how to play well enough, you should have enough resources to get both when you first start making obs

Ban plz.

Get speed when he's going heavy harass, range if he's going more turtle style -> post max you should definitely get both in the end.
too easy

im guessing you dont know this since it's not related to DT-rushing.. but dropships are faster than obs without speed. so with speed upgrade, you can right click dship and follow it, whereas without speed upgrade, you basically can't know where the ship is at all times without mass obs


lol nony got jokes

I generally get it after my second gas starts kicking in. It helps a lot with clearing mines and not worrying about ob getting ahead of goons.

What a massive bump. :/
Though this is a pretty interesting topic and I missed it back then :o

Obs speed usually depends on the build, the 150-150 can be invested into a hundred other things. IMO though most of the time people get it too early because slow units piss them off.

I used to get it whenever I had any carriers, otherwise the obs couldn't keep up. I'm not sure if it's a worthy investment before that - never tried it =]

Actually in my experience speed obs got nothing to do with dropships :/, if u spread your obs good enough u will always see where dropships are heading to. You just get shuttles with speed vs dropships... Why u want obs? so u see how terran drops at ur cliff and u die?, way better to have actual defense vs that than just seeing it happen don u think? ^^

Speed imo is better PvT than PvZ, and range PvZ than PvT. Personal impression, though I generally not concern myself that much with it. Sometimes I lose matches because of neglecting this, but mostly it doesn't really matter.

I'm genuinely confused as to how newbies find these old ass threads and then decide to post in them anyways.
