When do you target interceptors vs the carrier itself? (tvp gol vs carrier range upgraded)

Target Carrier =
open terrain
Goliaths outnumber Carrier
attacking

Just attack intercepters =

Near base/turrets
defending
closed terrain
carrier outnumber goliath

Are there additional factors / improvements to these ?
Multiply your efforts.

i think it also depends on your upgrades. for example when flash played stork in the star invitational he opened up flash build every game and always jus a moved on the interceptors instead of targeting the carriers themselves. apparently the 2 weapons or 1 weapons rips through interceptors.

im probably wrong though :O

I have heard that its the upgrades that do it as well, +2 weapons pretty much destroy interceptors. But overall I'm not really sure. Also, I don't think you want to have Carriers outnumbering Goliaths o___o

well sometimes carriers force goliaths to spread out and cover multiple areas

also why did you make this thread in the strategy section?

blog worthy imo

This is the most vague piece of advice I've ever heard. And it makes so much sense. Why group 3 groups of 12 goliath together when you can seperate them over 3 areas vs 8-9 carriers. ya!

And is gol vs carrier not worthy of strategy lol?

I would think you are a troll if not for the fact that I've seen you post before.

i think op got it reverse.
When there are outnumber of Carriers you target the Carrier. There is no ending killing 32+++ interceptors while they can produce more interceptors.

When T has more goliath force, cars should be running away. chasing them would be a possibility, unless they fly over cliffs.
then T should just a-move killing whatever possible.the more interceptor you kill the more useless carriers get, and it forces them to use 25x mineral if they want to keep using carriers.

added,
Jangbi vs Flash on destination. JB went carriers. The cliffs and back door were like hell to Flash.

this is a shitty thread, gol vs carrier is perfectly fine in strategy, you just put little to zero effort in making this thread
