I doubt any ht can get within storming range, considering 30 smartfire tanks, unless you use your whole army as a tank.

If you stack non-tank units into tanks and siege them, will the non-tanks stay put after the forcefields disappear? Because I can think of nothing more terrifying than a tank filled with Banelings.
Man, do I not keep this up to date, or what?

Interesting. Dont know how useful.

If you don't remember how powerful tank lines were in BW, watch some TvT replays of BW. This basically means you can get an unbreakable ground defense. Awesomesauce.

but if someone gets inside the range of ur siegemode ALL of ur tanks are gone...

I am no genius.. but i think spreading them out is still better for obv. reasons.

Could most likely do something similar with vortex *if you siege them at the exact same time, or right after they come out*

I'd be interested to see how hit detection works on these stacked tanks. What happens if they get attacked? Does one tank get hit or do all tanks get hit?

bobbeh, you cant push sieged tanks with ff. Sieged tanks react the same way to force fields when sieged as buidlings, which is not at all. You could actually place a ff directly on top of a siege tank to defend it from lings.

Kpyolysis32, units that are stacked with tanks with spread out after force field ends, unless they are are trapped, like between the tanks and a wall.

The only time I can see this being useful is if you need to have a lot of firepower at some critical location, like overlooking your choke on Blistering Sands. Thirty tanks at max range is better than 1 or 2 at max range and the rest at various distances behind them, especially with no overkill, etc etc. If the choke is narrow enough you can be reasonably safe from splash.

I don't see this being practical though, especially since you need two races to pull it off.

Although not practical in this scenario, could it be made into something useful? What about on enemy units? A perfect circle around a large group of zealots or something in order to compress them into one bite sized storm for your handful of high temps? Could lead to a very cost effective exchange assuming you could ever afford the gas to get high temps as well as a fair few sentries.

So, would it be possible for a Protoss player to, say, stack five or six zealots together so that they all hit and move together? If it works like the Muta magic box i'd assume that you could move them without them being unstacked, and then you could stop them as they reached a target for an instant kill.

If possible, this could give Protoss players a huge melee advantage as theywouldn't have to worry about surrounds or anything like that, they could just all attack at the same time.

EDIT: Nvm, i'm an idiot.

Ichabod, I checked it out, and yes you can siege tanks on top of each other following a vortex, nice find. On the down side you can't stack pre-sieged tanks on top of each other with a vortex because vortex forces tanks to unsiege.

I also found another way to stack tanks without the use of FF.

I decided to bump this because there is an actual realistic way to stack tanks now


As you can see, a terran could do that in a typical TvZ. Pretty broken and imba, blizzard needs to fix it ASAP.

Why does it need to be fixed? How does clumping up all your tanks actually benefit you?
