So... They put in the Hellion which was the bastard child of the Vulture and Firebat which now can transform into a Firebat.


Way to go! ... ... Can't wait until in Lotv it also will be able to transform into a Vulture...

Bio BH only makes bio more powerful in the early game. The upgrades will make a bio + BH composition worse as the game goes on (unless the Terran upgrades both engi and armory the whole time). I think Pure +3+3Engi MMM would have better damage and mitigation than MMM+BF +3+3Engi +0+0Armory.


Also, BHs are tier 3. I've seen them in action, and MAN do they diversify play... I think Blizz made the right choice.

This is a great change (Bio Hellbats), finally mech players can use bunkers now as well.

Mines still cost too much supply.

Fix the raven now and revert the BC ground dmg nerf (it wasn't a bug guys, DK said it was intended..)

don't like this idea at all... not because it might not be useful but rather because it sounds so awkward... Also now Terran Mech has to rely on some Medivacs for healing support which takes more supply away that could be invested into AA aka Vikings... Just feels like they're tweaking stuff for the plain sake of being able to show the community they're testing stuff, regardless of how much sense these changes make.

Well if they "have to" (which they don't btw) make medivacs in order to keep the battle hellions alive, that also opens up more harassment possibilities. Which is good.

As long as you dont morph them back inside,that would make the bunker implode.

Biological? So do baneling do more damage to them?

They already take extra damage from banelings but will take extra from Archons. It should also means Ghosts can snipe them, a̶n̶d̶ ̶Q̶u̶e̶e̶n̶s̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶s̶p̶a̶w̶n̶ ̶b̶r̶o̶o̶d̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶m̶.[/QUOTE]

Hm, it's interesting..

Imagine BH in front of tanks healed by medivacs, all this supported by few vikings, raven and a few widow mines thrown in.. Like TvP, this actually sounds fun..

What I'm learning from streams is, especially in TvT: Use Widow mines or die.

So, I can do a drop with 3 BH and 2 scvs and they should never die?

e. wtf BH in bunkers?

Blizzards greatest idea ever, and not only because it's basically a firebat now.
Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

What the... really? People will never be happy. For 75/25/2 you deal 160 single target and 60 AoE damage? So, with 6 population(3 mines), you can kill about 16 population of Stalkers, and it is too much? Wow...

I really think while listening to the community overall ist a good thing, this balancing is getting out of hand and blizzard is getting closer and closer to fucking this game up completely instead of getting right back on track with it...

viking valkyrie upgrade!!!

how in the hell does BH being biological even make the smallest amount of sense??

Its a guy inside a mechanical suit, just like marauders, marines, reapers, and scv's

And hellion is also a car which a guy in it. Why is it mech?

Because the Hellion goes very fast so it is a completely closed vehicle in which the pilot cannot be healed. In Battle form, the pilot is accessible like a scv.

Seriously, how come are you all suddenly looking for some logic in this game?
"OMG a bio unit coming from the Factory !! Damn i wont buy this expansion! Since Activision came Blizzard is really doing shit !!" -_-

It is still a... unit coming from a... building! yay!
And if this heal is good gameplaywise, it's fine. If it's not, i hope they'll remove it. But please, stop with the socalled logic, people are very narrow-minded!

(and don't take extreme examples like warped-in marines or something like that to make me say that Blizzard has the right to do anything without logic >_>.)
Read to learn.
