All these balancing threads coming up really wants me to start talking about Terran units again.

Anyone else felt that Terran mech units were a bit imbalanced?
1) Siege Tank costs 2 supply
2) Vulture + 3 mines cost just 75 minerals
3) Metal upgrades are way overpowered / unproportional
4) Goliath's anti-air is just scary

About point 1, Blizzard actually realized that it was a mistake so they made it 3 supply in Starcraft II.

Die Terran scumbags!

No, the siege tank in starcraft 2 costs more gas, and has a better attack when unsieged, i duno bout when its sieged, hence the 3 supply.
MEOW.

It's balance by the fact, that Terran is fucking hard as hell to use.

If you're saying Terran mech units are imbalanced, you're essentially saying pvt is imbalanced (mech units are rarely used in tvz). But tvp is balanced, or even slightly favors p. In either case, it makes no sense to weaken terran mech units.

Zergling: 5 dmg, 8 frames cooldown = 5/8 damage per frame
Crackling: 8 dmg, 6 frames cooldown = 8/6 (~1.333) damage per frame

213% increase in damage output

Tank: 70 dmg, 75 frames cooldown = 70/75 damage per frame
Tank +3: 85 dmg, 75 frames cooldown = 85/75 (~1.133) damage per frame

21% increase in damage output

25 mineral crackling dps > 150/100 tank dps (disregarding splash)

imba?
