that too, but protoss can gain an edge with crono boost and often gain a lead in upgrades so that's not the answer. I really think blue flame hellions are waaay underused in TvP, when I off race terran and play protoss I work them in eventually into my composition and it's highly effective. I mean, if they are getting archons and colossus, they are gonna have a ton of minerals to dump on zealots. And siege tanks splash damage is a lot more useful against toss than people realize, especially when you target those precious sentries.

Most people state that it's better to go pure bio with upgrades, but hellions really do seem underused as a core unit TvP, especially given how strong chargelots are against thors/tanks/bio. For any terrans out there, would stopping bio upgrades at 1/1 and then going for a lategame tank/hellion/ghost/viking mix be at all efficient?
