1-how bout mid game? worth it for a player who did not open with vult mine to get them at this time? 2-for a player who opened with vult mine, how is it possible for the player to continue using them? so far what i can think of is to put 2 scv + 2 vults and turret mine the cliff to stop bigger drops + use some vults to kill scvs making random turrets around the map + mine up opponent's 2nd nat | ||

vults are worth it many times since they build real fast and are super fast so since opponents usually go for dropships they wont be easily able to defend at many points at once, and vults with mines win vs small numbers of units, like units just off the facts, so u'll do lots of damage but never fight more than 7-8 units head on unless ur micro is seriously good, vults die fast vs tank/gol or u can just get them if u have lots of minerals and want something in return fast and they dont cost gas so u can go wraiths too, they are great for the time u need to make the switch/mass the wraiths | ||

Ppl use vult mine opening to save up gas and harrass (if they can), then follow up with tanks. As the game progresses, vult mine gets harder to use (control the map / attack with). It works in the opening cuz terran is a race where detection is slow to get near the start of the game (50energy to scan / bay => turrets)  . When u get to mid/late game, vults are usually for raiding only / making fun of ur opponent.  | ||

Mines are meant to take hits while the tanks DISH out on the Goons. Mines also play a big part in preventing or seeing expos. Place them infront of the P base to have vision that they dint move out when you move your tanks straight up to thier choke. Doesnt work too much, but if u did it its GG for you. TvT not TvP lol | ||
