-) one of the two units in TvT around which you can build a strategy (the other one being the marine) -) basically being played in every TvZ -) not part of the standard TvP, but one of the main ingridients in one of the best TvP rushes (1-1-1) Seems like a unit that is being used a ton, but I'm sure it sucks pretty hard if you say so... \thread, this is nothing but a balance whine --> Designated Balance Discussion Thread | ||

I will say they're not all that useful vs protoss, but there are even still Code S players that use them from time to time in PvT, and they are great in TvT and ZvT. Especially ZvT with proper focus firing, they just demonlish any mid-game aggression. Also props to Zandar for his re-writing of the OP with Hydras  | ||

My post has nothing to do with balance whining and I've said multiple times that I think the game is balanced well right now. well, if it is not about balance, then it is a design suggestion. Those belong to Designated Balance Discussion Thread Or do you want to just hear the reasons why some people think tanks are bad? (what they aren't. they are just not Broodwar "mass this unit to win" like) | ||

Tanks shouldn't be able to smash everything but t3 ground units. Of course they should, that was what made them so fun in BW. A siege line was practically impossible to fight head on with any ground army, forcing players to get more creative in their engagements and abuse the near total immobility of tanks. If I siege up 15 tanks in a decent position, any trade should be horrifyingly cost-inefficient for whoever attacks into it. But every Protoss unit except sentries and stalkers is amazingly effective against tanks. | ||

then you must not be very good yourself. The game is balanced 98-99% and tanks are not part of the problem | ||

No people should discuss tactics, news, tournaments, or info about progamers. You've made a horrible OP that seems like whine to me. You say tanks are horrible in TvP yet Byun got far last GSL by using tank+marine against protoss. He kinda defeated himself against Seed by not controlling his army well enough. Also you suggest some changes but never go into details nor do you explain your points, i'm guessing this thread won't live long. | ||

immobile army > mobile army in terms of cost efficiency In SC2 it's changed to micro-intensive, spell-caster intensive army > non-micro non-spellcaster army in terms of cost efficiency. Dustin Browder and David Kim have pretty much stated they want the latter to be the dominant philosophy for SC2. Their core belief is that audiences like to watch micro-intensive spell-caster intensive fights more than positional fights. Arguing otherwise with them is like arguing a evolution with a creationist--it's unproductive because their beliefs are built on not logic but faith. The only response we can really do would be to boycott purchases of HotS. Sad, but true. | ||

For those who don't know what smart attack is, it's basicly the AI doing so they wont overkill on units, etc. 10 tanks shooting the same ling. That would require good tank lines, nicely spread out, and probably make it somehow usefull in TvP again. | ||
