Yeah, he said make 10-12 medivacs, then make sure you have more units than medivacs. Probably meant it partially as a joke | ||

Against mass melee units, you will want more medivacs as you take damage on a lot of units simultaneously also if they get a surround you cant micro units away. Against ranged you will want more units to get the bigger concave and if your enemy is doing things right they will focus down units more, which means you are taking damage on less units at once and medivacs can't keep up with units that are being focused. In that situation you just want to kill your enemy faster than they kill you. You can also micro hurt units back much easier. If you are just 1a'ing then you will want quite a few medivacs if you have a heavy bio army and not too many if you have a mech based army. I think in all honesty, its one of those things you just eventually get a feel for. I don't think about it too much when playing, i'm usually thinking more about my army comp vs my enemies comp than if i have enough medivacs. If I look at my army and the thing that is lacking is medivacs, i make a few, unless its against toss and they have lots of collosus then i forget medivacs until i have enough vikings. I suppose for a 200/200 army a good rule of thumb would be no less than 4, no more than 10. However I have had many times where i have a 200/200 army with no medivacs because I don't feel like I will need them. | ||

If you are expecting to drop all your army at once, yeah. But besides this situation, 1 medivac per 8 marines or 4 marauders is kind of overkill. | ||

On the other hand; depends on how much your rely on your Bio and stim. If you use Marines just to lure the enemy into Tank range, you will need less medivacs than when you go forr a huge Bioball. I think about 5-ish when you won't Stim much, 10-12 is max for a bioball, imo! | ||
