cloning tanks oo; arduous task with minimal results usually, tanks tend to splash more enemy units usually ;o

isnt this the reason why pro terrans put in a line one behind the other formation their tanks against goons when having not so many vults, and spread them in parallel line when having vults to support them? to avoid overkill?

shift clicking with sieged tanks is useless, just spamming right clicks on different goons would accomplish the same thing, but its still not the best thing to do.

as they charge in you want to target your first tank shot(s if you're fast enough to select multiple smaller groups of tanks in time, or have them hotkeyed) at clumps of zealots and then go through and target groups of tanks on clumps of goons throughout the battle. its the most important thing to do, for the most part you should just let your vultures be except for sniping ht's, if possible. vultures should be positioned around the front of your tanks,but not too far forward, to kill the zeals and absorb goon fire.

You can do it w/ just right click... don't need to A+click.. hold shift rclickrclickrclick.. It only works if your tanks are staggared in their shot rotation. If all tanks firing at the same time i think they will all overshot the same one wasting dmg potential.

That's why you need to put seige tanks in strategic positions. 4 front lines, 2-3 mid lines, and 4 end lines for instance. I once killed about 16 various troops and about 4 goliaths and 2 tanks with continuous fire and a sweeper scan, shooting over a pretty long wall.

Not one shot hit any of my seige tanks. This was a computer though, a smart person would have also used seige tanks, but not as well as I did.
Death has lost its sting.
