THESE ARE NOT HYDRALISKS. THEY ARE HYDRALISKS WITH THE EXACT SAME STATS AS MARINES. It is a comparison of missile based attacks versus instant attacks. Back on topic, I think it's an interesting note, but it's nothing new. I don't think there's any sort of matchup imbalance because of this. | ||

Of course they do, it's obvious when playing the game, e.g., in the midst of battle, if you tell a bunch of roaches to attack a siege tank that's within range and on 10 life, all the roaches shoot it. | ||

Just because you call it something doesnt mean it exists. It was in no way intentional. You guys make it sound like theres some sofisticated algorithm that makes it happen. But it's just a result of the game engine. Lets compare it to this example. A flood kills a lot of people in some religious place. They call it an act of god. That sure doesn't mean god exists. | ||

For the hydras for example: 1.Take like 10 hydras 2.Burrow a zergling (from the other team) 3.Move hydras to the zergling 4. Unborrow it If more than 3-4 hydras shoot at the zergling they do overkill ofc. Just for those asking if units overkill.. | ||

If you do the same test with bigger concade and some more range between units, I bet 100 euros that you will beat marines way easier. Not reading to OP properly will cost you 100 Euros man. In those circumstances , no concave or range can save hydras... | ||

This videos purpose is to demonstrate the power that units with insta shot have. I don't understand how this video even fulfills this purpose. Shouldn't it compare insta shot hydras to missle shot hydras? Or perhaps missle shot marines to insta shot marines. | ||

But the hydras are going through their whole shooting animation, or does it ignore that? Marines never have to drop their riffles after every shot (just after every few rounds) but it seems the hydras are pulling back every shot. Read the OP. THEY ARE STATISTICALLY IDENTICAL. That doesn't make them the same unit if animation delay adds a latent delay to every missle that the marine doesn't have. (which it kinda looks like it does, can't really tell at 480 p though) | ||

Or perhaps missle shot marines to insta shot marines. This is exactly what it does. Those hydras are basically marines with missiles. Read the OP.

If you have two sieged tanks and you drop a zergling in the range of both, in SC1 both would fire, in SC2 only one fires. This has nothing to do with delays on fire rate or something, this is just an intended mechanic that we call smartfire . | ||

Anyway they overkill terrible in this video. Just like marauders do when you go into close combat with them. So under normal conditions you want to engange on max range. I think since the ai attacks wounded units its really beneficial for units that don't overkill so easy. And it always been spikes in bw as well, even though they were instant in bw. Anyway they missile shots are generally stronger so i think its evened out just fine, just decides on what you want. But as there is an engagement in normal situations before everyone is in range i think its more evened out and only looks like this if you put them close together, where instant is clearly superior. | ||
