can u actually beat collossus ht tempest in theory?

BC Raven Ghost may work :D

Just no.

After all it shall come down to your ability to get rid of Hts before they kill everything you have.

dude bcs would totally help. you could cast yamato out of the range of the hightemplar feedback, and pdd stops the tempest shots, just saying no without giving any reasons doesn't help the conversation

No because with tempests protoss range is superior.
In the long run they can spoon terran better with this composition.


they cant with PDDs , i feel its down to control man.

It is down to control but protoss needs to screw-up for PDD push to work.
It's been practiced back in beta.

Do you realize how much gas a Colossus/Tempest/HT army costs? Ravens work against this, we have seen it before. PDDs completely negate the Tempest, they fire too slowly. HT can't get close enough to Feedback if you have a large Ghost count and keep up the scans.

Know what is also excellent there? Tanks. The HT die to the Tank fire before they get in range of anything. PDD keeps everything safe from the Tempest.


You just suggested using tanks in TvP.




Drop the Tanks are useless circle jerk and actually think about the situation. A few Tanks are invaluable against that army comp.

Easily.

Throw in a small pack of Ravens (Alive had like 3k gas banked) for PDD and the Tempests shots get stopped. Switch out the useless MM for more Ghosts and Vikings.


This kind of suggestion sound good in theory, but we actually need to see all this theorizing that goes on all the time in TL in practice or it really doesn´t work.


We've seen it in practice. Naniwa vs. Thorzain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF3L26X3RP4

Raven PDD shuts down Tempest shots. Ghosts with nukes allow you to slow push and siege (though a few siege tanks also helps). Observers get instantly killed by Vikings if they try to get close to the ghosts to detect and stop the nukes. Vikings are protected by PDDs. If you try and move in with HT to feedback, they get sniped because you basically have vision from air control and a lot of scans because you do not need minerals.

How so? Tanks take time to siege, you need to be constantly mobile. If you were just turtling then maybe.

Go to main, crush everything. Recall. Just because ThorZaIN did use it and it worked out kind of for him, doesn't mean it does work on higher levels (which First is, and especially whirlwind is completely different from akilon). we saw ThorZaIN go reapers in lategame TvP in WoL, did look good once or twice. Got crushed pretty hard the other times.-

as have i, tanks are pretty good with ghosts, i used to go mass tanks and i had a 80 percent win ratio in tvp, again this was in WOL not HOTS. Then again i don't think having tanks would be good with tempests on the field

However you ought to be a fool if you dont see the difference between a split map that is outmined and Whirlwind with infinitive bases and attack-routes.
Those two games just cant be compared because the same situation cant occour.

It's not theorycrafting. I just linked you an in game example of it working in a pro level game. Be less stubborn. The Tanks make it impossible for the HT to get in range to Feedback the PDDs. The Tempest are completely negated. Slow push to victory.
