This is pretty common, especially in viking wars where you can assure that as soon as the opponent engages you, every single one of your vikings is in range DIRECTLY because of the stacking. Often causes them to lose the first viking and results in a slight edge.

How is that new, people did that since beta... If you could actually move with it it would be useful against marines and so on. However with thor's splash stacking gets countered pretty badly.

I have seen BratOK using this long ago with vikings actually.

For mutas I don't see any use of patrol stacking in real game. You can't move and you are very vulnerable to thors, fungal, storm etc..

Well yeah, obviously. It hides how many vikings you actually have.

Not only that, they will also shoot at the same time, one shotting anything that comes too close.

Ahh ok didn't know it has been used before. Never saw it and also Tasteless and Artosis seemed kinda surprised by that.

Phoenix stacking to take on mutas could be pretty sweet especially since you never even need to hit attack, you can just spam move commands near them.

It was new in March when the OP posted this (during the beta). The thread was resurrected because Boxer did the stacking trick with VIkings in the GSL.

You can do this with any flying unit, even flying terran buildings, carriers etc.

You could do it with motherships if you could build more than one.
