It's more common to just go 1 rax acad -> 2 rax or 2 rax -> turbo gas acad than to commit to a dedicated sunk break build. 3 rax +1 would be considered more of an extreme build (and it's not, that much) than those two. Fast academy builds can punish early greedy 0-1 sunk + minimal ling Zergs, but more likely, what will just happen is that the Zerg will be prepared, so you just go take an expansion while you move out. It's a good balance of pressure and eco that is especially nice on maps like RH3 where the expo area is more wide-open, meaning that 1 rax CC is pretty risky and fast academy units force more sunks/lings than usual... which is as far as I know not playing Terran. ~_~ edit: Can you really get +1/+1 (and a reasonable number of marines) before Zerg has Lair units coming? It seems pretty late to me. And with that build, you won't even be able to begin your next e-bay upgrades until a long while afterwards. | ||

The +1 armor will help if you fail and he's pressuring you with lurkers, since +1 armor means one more hit from lurkers. If you have +1 attack, it helps vs his muta harass after you've failed the rush. Please tell me you use stimpack. +1 attack is better, because you get two hits from a lurk regardless with stim. | ||

A marine does 6 damage, so every 6 marines with +1 attack is like one free marine. math: 6=7 A sunken does 20 damage to small units. A marine has 40hp, so every 2 marines with +1 armor a sunken kills you will have saved 1 marine. math: 2=3 or 6=9 BETTER TO GET ARMOR NUBE. | ||

+1 armour is good vs them. Weapon up is good too but +1 armour is much better for all in. Both are viable if you use bats as well. | ||
