I was curious what you guys think about getting armor against terran instead of attack. Particularly if your opening with alot of speed zealots and not many shuttles since the zealots could take more damage charging into the tanks. What exactly would the statistics be on this aswell as damage recieved to other units.

What about attack first then armor?

Can anyone supply me with some stats and thoughts on this?

thx

I always upgrade armor first incause terran doesent upgrade weapons so that my probes can withstand 3 hits from a vulture other than that I dont know alot about how much upgrades help in pvt.

Terran does 70, 125, 20, 30 damage, adding +1 armor wont change much i guess...

+1 armor is good "prevention" from vulture raids.You need 3 hits to kill a probe instead of 2 w/o +1 armor.As was mentioned above

Actually, I do know that if you dont have upgrades against 3/3 terran. Your units melt like butter.

no this isn't important
important is to divide your zealots per tanks to minimize splash loses(tank&mine). If u divide correctly low spread mines will only help you because they'll explode at tanks.

a funny reaction for this... wtf does nationality have to do with it
And i tell you if u send zealots attack-move through mine field, your zealots will gather around the mine+kill it. This all will slow them down a lot and through this time all of your lots will take like super-splash from tanks.
Zealots are there in battlefield to run as fast as they can to reach tanks. Dragoons are the ones to kill mines mostly and finish off lonely,weak or wounded units.

armor has one use only, that is for probes vs vultures
apart from that, it's pretty damn useless unless he's goliath heavy
=[

personally I always upgrade attack and never more than one forge pvt. terran benefits tons from upgrades but toss doesn't benefit much cept for carriers.

I'm pretty damn sure Freeze is better than everyone who has posted in this thread [ including me because I've played him before ]

It's not like zeals won't get shot by vults when running in. A good push/Terran won't allow many zeals to get through a mine field.

Edit: Lmao drone you HAD to post 1 second before didn't you.

yeah carriers upgrade(attack) is so important in pvt +_+. carrier armor can be done later cuz your carriers are not supposed to die.
