Medics have slightly superior heal rate per gas (100 gas is 2 Medics, or 8 hitpoints per heal, compared to 1 Medivac, which heals 6 hitpoints per heal). Medics have significantly faster build time (25 sec vs 42 sec, and you can produce 2 at once). Medivacs are more durable per gas, at 150 hitpoints per 100 gas compared to 120 hitpoints per 100 gas. Medics are small ground infantry, while Medivacs are medium aircraft with drop capability. They are built from different structures, require different prerequisites, and benefit from different upgrades. On a whole I find Medics superior in the most important respects, though Medivacs' mileage may vary depending on the situation at hand. | ||

But you can focus on getting the Ghost early. This is more of a "i played the campaign 100 times and want to try some different" thing. | ||

ARMOR 1! (vs. marine 0) They "tank" for the marines and can be healed by other medics. I played through the brutal campaign without upgrades or research from Hyperion (except last mission which is imba). On many occasions this marine medic (+some marauder) combo dominated and saved me a lot of attempts because it worked just beautifully. With all honesty, I can't really compare against medi-vac though, since I kind of dislike them by default as they don't seem as nice as the good old infantry pushes. And for the campaign, medics win the game so... | ||

Medivac can act as a dropship and heal 2 units at a time, but it's more expensive and I'd rather pump Vikings/Banshees out of my starports. | ||

Yeah but medics are half the price so for their cost they heal much faster even assuming both have upgrades. | ||

I found that with large bio armies, often units would die to large opposing armies too fast for the medivacs to go over to them and start healing. This issue doesn't exist with medivacs, since they can hang out over the bio-ball, in range of all units simulatenously. | ||

Medivacs got the mobility factor but that is usually not an important one in SP. | ||

It makes MMM possible vs protoss. It will not be killed by tank or baneling. Btw. Which is better since you are only comparing two units. | ||

What are your thoughts on that. For a mixed unit composition Spectres are better, Ghosts with +1 are only powerful when you can get large amounts of them (20-30), and even then only on certain missions. (Ghosts don't have EMP in the campaign) the OP is asking for the campaign. I have no idea why you're talking about tanks or banelings. There are tanks and banelings in the campaign. That being said there aren't many lol. | ||

You mean Medivacs have higher HPS when there are enough healable targets for all the medivacs to be healing. A lot of engagements don't involve enough targets taking damage for the multiple-heal to be relevant. | ||
