It's not even that the tanks were bad. Bbyong never had enough air to counter colossus because herO kept sniping medivacs and vikings with the stalkers before blinking back. I really want to go back and watch that game and analyze it more. He killed 4 vikings with 6 stalkers while under fire by marauders and saved 4 of them by blinking back. It was actually immaculate.
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

The weird thing about this meta is that attacking a base just seems to consistently yield more worker kills than it did a few months ago.

It's a bad time to be a civilian in Starcraft.

Is there such a thing? Zerg is all part of a single collective, Terran is seemingly only military, and Probes aren't living beings.

Unless LotV adds ambient critters that are civilians, no. Plenty of civilians probably end up as collateral damage in the campaign though.

Did anyone catch Bbyong's gas count throughout that game?

herO's army control was insanely good, but I'm just wondering if there's enough gas as a 3 base Terran to make enough Tanks and Vikings to make a strat like that work AND have even closer upgrades.

I know Bbyong's upgrades were a bit late due to the late armory, but did he reach 2/2 at any point in that game?

I think the insufficient air is an indirect consequence of building a bio-tank army. Balancing the numbers of bio as buffer, the amount of medivacs, the amount of tanks, and the number of vikings is very difficult. Also tanks aren't particularly good against any protoss unit really.

I'm pretty sure he was still just 1/0 on his vehicle upgrades, even there at the end.

I don't think he ever got 2/2, but if you're able to maintain your medivac count and not lose vikings you can afford it, but its reallllly hard.

I don't think its bad if you go for an all-in or a very heavy push with this. Its the transition from it and the resulting midgame that's iffy.

One of the many many fundamental problems with tanks is that they're movement speed is slow. Which is fine if you're playing mech or you can set up positions if you have positional advantage, but in skirmish PvT what essentially happens is you have 4 sets of units with 4 different movement speeds.

You have the bio/bio on stim, medivacs, vikings and tanks. Theoretically a player could be able to set them up on 4 hot keys to perfectly micro each unit, but in practice (like most players) set it up on one hotkey then use the mouse to control individuals sets of units. So by including tanks into your comp microing an already hard to micro army just gets that much harder.

Combined with the tanks brittleness, lack of mobility, gas cost, supply count and need to target fire on collosus just makes tank comps not worth the effort for most players.
