Most peopel do not go Armor because if the zerg stops the suken break or attempt they will go mutalisk or lurkers...Most people with armor aren't as effective if they have good micro. So, it's more of a safe thing i would think...But then again i sorta of suck =*( but yeah if going all in suken break armor is better.

Thats easy
for less micro and M&M - armor
for more micro and M&M - attack (send medics first, surround medics with marines, so medics don't have to chase them)
for M&M&B - attack (send stimmed bats first)
Broken english FTW.

LET ME PAINT YOU A PICTURE:

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.



this formula quickly breaks down when lings and medics are thrown into the equation.



Op didn't say anything about lings. Medics are a given, but with them that makes your marines live even longer because all they need is 20 hp. A marine even double targeted by 2 sunkens with +1 armor and a medic healing him will take an extra hit or two.

My point is 12 rines and 3-4 medics can take 4 or so sunkens with +1 armor, with +1 attack they can't.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

I'd say lings are a given, the WILL have lings, you if your trying to break his sunk, he'll send them in.

ive been trying to find some of sataniks tvz all in rushs, but I havne't found any real good ones yet, also sync should have some good reps of sunk breaks I'd think^^

umm...
+1 weps better for everything
+1 armor is only good for facing 1 thing at 1 time. so lings+lurks or lings+sunks will surely beat +1 armor.

and if u think about it, +1 weps gives certain units like +2 or +4 dmg. that dmg > facing +1 armor. however in most cases, the ups just cancel each other out so.....

I also forgot to point out that +1 armor will give your SCVs armor and +1 weapons won't do anything for them. This can do 2 things, If you bring some SCV with you to break sunks they can meat shield and take extra hits and even kill shit faster. Or 2 later on if they lurker drop it wont take 3 hits to kill an scv but 4 (assuming he doesn't have spine upgrades).

Wasn't Sync like.... the creator of the whole 3 rax +1 armor sunken break??
I'm probably wrong, so someone with a bit more knowledge please shed some light.

However, I always thought that for pure sunken breaking (like you come in with the mind-set, OK, I'm going to break his sunken wall and gg him) 3 rax, +1 armor was the way to go.

You really need to start the upgrade early because if you just do 2 rax, then academy, the zerg will have lurkers first.
