Bunkers.... too weak or too strong?

[Silent_Assassin]

i say bunkers are to weak... my friend says there too strong.... what do you guys think? i mena is bunkers a good defense or is tanks a good defense? or both?

 

[AKA-47]

Offence is the best defense. Bunkers are strong enough, they are only used in TvZ anyways, to protect expansions.

 

[Silent_Assassin]

bah..

 

[Twisted_Sniper]

They need to be a bit stronger,justa bit

Bunkers do great in early game, but in late game they are pointless, unless your opponent goes mass Z's in which case you fill your bunks with firebats. Or a bunker rush early game works great. Other than that, I don't use them much

 

[AKA-47]

Allways make bunkers at expansions, it works much stronger than u may think, and makes muta raids useless.

Here is what you do with bunkers, make them by your resources so when you get dropped, your SCVs have shelter. lol i don't even do that. Make at expansions... yes. FB + Bunk v Zlings... yes. Bunk pushing... yes. Using them to make your base look better... no...!

 

[AKA-47]

Lordson, defending with 6 bunkers wont work, it can be countered.

 

[AKA-47]

Offense = defence

 

[theyrekiltssicko]

I perfer to use the combination of bunker, seige tank, turrets, and science vessel
That is my best defense

 

[lordson]

yeah thats what you do if you want to turlte up like in Hunters

no stragtegy there

jsut defend the single opening

 

[AKA-47]

Hunters is just mass M&M, zealots or zerglings...

 

[Raccoon]

Well most of the time anyway. Probably in a 3 v 3. 2 v 2 would be different...

 

[AKA-47]

Not really, since u cant tech in 2v2.

 

[Raccoon]

It is usually the difference in tech that makes the difference in 2v2 on maps like The Hunters.

 

[AKA-47]

No. In 2v2 u cant take the risk of teching, no matter the map. Players will hit u with 24 zerglings while u are still making ur first siege tank. U have to get M&M, zealots or lings early and outnumber ur enemy, and hit him with a force of 2 vs 1.

That may be true. But after rushing has occured, your 1st Tier units won't stand a chance against 3rd Tier.
