How do you put any pressure on the Terran without Mutalisks?
you dont need to put any pressure when you have the superior tech - im assuming that this thread is about the standard marine/tank play
with ling/bling and mutas you have to kill the marines first while running through tank fire to enable mutas killing tanks - with ling/bling and ultras your ultralisks soak up the tank fire and they take a lot of hits with the result that your ling/bling casualties from tanks will be almost zero
ultras dont even cost as much as 3 mutas but have the hp of 4, far more armor and their damage against armor is similar to about 8 mutas plus area damage instead of the little bouncing damage
i see mutas more of a drop defence unit that is good to kill reinforcements but every half decent terran masses turrets and there is no pressure at all you can do at least not on important structures
the most awesome thing is how good ultras are against planetary fortresses - you kill them so fast with zero casualties instead of sacrificing 20 banes
the hardest problem is that even due to a fast tech to ultras their production time is huge and surviving with ling/bling and infestors can be very hard but overall if you get the ultras out you will not only kill rine/tank but also give you a huge supply advantage and you can finish games in 2 battles instead of having 4-5 with mutas where you have to micro perfectly in every engagement
