You don't have the hold position or attack commands (they don't do anything) while you're out of scarabs. I mean, is it really that hard for you not to move a reaver within sunken range, even if it isn't firing? You might want to practice a bit if that's happening to you. ok, so you tell reaver to attack sunken and it moves within range of sunken. so you bring it out of range of the sunken, but keep sunken within range of reaver. it doesnt attack. you tell reaver to hold position. it doesnt attack. sure, you can micro reaver to not die to a sunken, but if the reaver can't siege the sunken, then there's no point in getting it in the first place. | ||

Try to train vs cpu zergs. He always does sunkens : just train where to drop to fire as far as you can. When i'm hearing about how gay this scarab AI work i can't stop laughing at them cause of course it's not like the previous patches, but c'mon is that really hard to control the reaver to be able to kill all the drone ? Obviously u should not fire to the middle of a stacked drones that are fleeing (? i'm not sure about the word) if the reaver is behind them. Also the better way would be to have 2 Hkey : one for shuttle and the other one for reaver unless you manage to click in the reaver and attack to where you want. | ||

I can tell the range of about anything but tanks in my mind (i always think tanks have shorter range than they actually do, damn things). So sometimes in an attack i drop a reav just out of sunk range, with 5 scarabs inside. Now, depending on the position it will or will not fire. If it's above, or horizontally alligned with the sunk it will almost always fire correctly. But if it's under the sunk at an angle it will sometimes just sit there and gaze upon the wonders of the sunken colony. If i move it one step forwards it gets poked. So I load it up again and drop it just a bit behind and it fires. And it happens quite often. You don't lose it but it's annoying. I will save the replay the next time this happens. Funny thing is that it usually fires if you move it a bit backwards than forwards. I don't know why, but as I said I'll post a replay... someday.  | ||

its even gayer then mass sunk/lurk/spore for a zerg to break stasis field+storm+maelstrom+feedback on defs+d-web owns anything a zerg can throw at you when youre the one defending, and its retardedly cost effective. just wait for the zerg to run out of money. | ||
