Then you build a couple of banelings and give a whole new meaning to the world annihilation . You can't move your marines if you want to protect your tanks and if they move, you just throw like 6 banes at them and they all die. It doesn't seem very good or game changing to me. Actually I think it sucks. | ||

Even if you spread your units tanks have a function in their AI iirc that their auto-attack targets different targets I believe. Tanks will only expect the necessary amount of shots needed to kill one unit or a group of units. This means that spreading your spread is automatically negated by the AI. You can see this by the tanks swiveling not as one but separately during your last attack with lings. If someone can confirm this though I'm basing this off of something I remember reading so I am not 100% sure this is true the way I am presenting it. Realistically a zerg would have banes so the terran could still lose the tanks if the zerg realized what was going on and acted against their usual instinct to target marines. As most zergs will have never encountered this they'd likely keep running the banes and lings towards the retreating marines and lose everything. Seems like an exploit any way you cut it. | ||

Actually I think it sucks. That's why you can focus fire your tanks. Remember that tanks will never overkill, so with these amounts of tanks it will be even easier and more effective to kill all the banelings.

It's way too unforgiving to move on the map against such a composition, especially when you know siege tanks have more range than vision. Nowadays, you make 1 mistake by moving your army around and you get 2/3 tank shots. But with that stack, you make one mistake and you insta lose a clump of units or an expensive unit such as a colossus/immortal/hts. I'm not sure how effective it would be in TvZ, but I don't know if banelings are even that good against tanks all firing at the same time. And anyways, even if it becomes kind of balanced, it's gonna be removed in the same fashion as the viking flower because units are not supposed to stack like that when you are not actively moving them around. I wouldn't mind if it required crazy micro like muta stacking, but just dropping 10 tanks in a tiny area around your third or fourth expansion and siegeing them up doesn't require that much APM... | ||

Looks like it will help noobs who don't control their banelings and let them run their banes into tanks instead... On January 22 2012 22:50 Unfeared wrote: That's why you can focus fire your tanks.
