hmm so fly a carrier into a base with MSc then recall and the interceptors will scout the base, truly next level scouting!  I guess you can say they ... retreated | ||

It works decently Forgot who he was playing against, but HTOMario, who always mechs in all matchups, used mines to fight Tempest/Carriers and it worked excellently. You just have to build a shitload of mines. Ghosts are good too because of EMP of course, and Cloak. And whoever said Observers everywhere messes up mine shots? The mines won't shoot at them unless they are revealed. So that doesn't really make sense. | ||

Man, it did my Protoss heart good to see carriers owning it up for the win. :D You can save money and emulate the games yourself by building 3 stargate carrier and amoving over a computer opponent. Those were some really bad games, Supernova had no answer and got totally rolled by the carriers both times. | ||

You'll lose all your widow Mines without really a chance for them to lock onto the Carriers. But don't believe me, I want you to go test it yourself. Try using Widow Mines vs Carriers. Interceptors completely fuck with the Widow Mine AI. Widow Mines work fine vs Void Rays and Tempests but they are completely useless vs Carriers. I don't blame people for not knowing this since Carriers aren't exactly common, but I've for whatever reason spent plenty of games in Mech Vs Protoss fighting Carriers. The only way to really beat them is Vikings and Thors in large numbers, Widow Mines don't work. Maybe that was a bad video to show but you can choose which target the widow mines will hit as they are burrowing/right when they burrow. If you do it correctly they will hit the carrier and not the interceptors. If you just burrow them and not target then yes might hit interceptors. Also if it is late game and you engage with widow mines, thors, and vikings the widow mines have lower priority while unborrowed meaning they need to do a lot of micro to kill the widow mines since they are small and numerous in which case your thors and vikings have more time to do damage or focus on thors and vikings and take a lot of damage from widow mines. I guess this this shows a little more of what I am talking about but not all of the micro. | ||
