I lost about 4 games last night, 3 to terran I think, all with air that destryed my anti-air units. I don't really use canons much- they cost half as much as an anti-air unit but can't be moved around to chase down ships/DTs etc | ||

They'll also be decent against Banshees once everything that can harm them is out of the way (Marines, Vikings and Thors). Much like all your Stalkers being dead and a handful of Vikings killing all of your Collossi unhindered. Banshees are just incredibly strong in general. Once they get cloak, you often HAVE to kill the entire rest of the army before you can think of taking out the Banshees. One COMSAT and your Observer is dead to instant Viking or Marine fire. You have to remove the threat of your AA units being obliterated before you can actually take them on. Once you run out, that's it. You'll probably never gather enough Stalkers, Sentries, Phoenixes or Void Rays after that point to take them on. Banshees, like Mutas, are insanely good at dominating Protoss once they get momentum going. Its why I always go Templar when I see Banshees. Feedback is a much better weapon against them, since you can instagib a Banshee the moment you get an Observer near (rather than relying on it being alive the whole fight - which just invites a COMSAT-instagib) and you can always Psi Storm the area to buggery if they Cloak. | ||

And if anyone is pumping out the mass banshee... they truely have nothing on the ground outside of mass marine/hellion. Don't say you lose to some banshee + x army... ie banshee + marauder or banshee + vik or banshee + tank.... that's like some terran whining about a mass immortal + colossus + sentry army lol. | ||

Void Rays are good against Vikings and BCs, but you need a lot of spares to take on BCs with Yamato, unless you intend to feedback them all before the fight. Yamato one-shots a Void Ray and you need about 2 Void Rays to every BC (which is a damn crime, considering the cost). Feedback his BCs with templar; makes it jokishly easy to demolish BCs. | ||

Feedback does hurt them if they aren't throwing yamato immidiately, but it's far from a free kill without plenty of void-ray support. Considering the pricetag on rays and high templar, you won't be able to re-produce that kind of army very long, thus a few well-placed emp will ruin your attempted counter fairly easily if you're gunning for the BC's with feedback instead of trying to hit the ghosts with it first. Both are quite dangerous, both need to be feedbacked. Not saying that P shouldn't build HT against BC's to assist in bringing them down, but it's a lot easier said than done when you're talking two late-game armies head to head. | ||
