Terran Strategies

[SmashBros.Pro]

I couldn't get a Academy before six lings, but I could get a Barrack up and at least 1 Marine before a 6 ling rush arrive not including travel time.

No u couldn't, i have tested it. The 6-pool rush was so fast they had to increase the spawning pool mineral cost in patch 1.08.

OMFG!!

If Lings are so god-damn fast against Terran than nobody would use Terran vs. Zerg because the Lings rush will kick their asses!!

And I want you to play me so I can prove this my SN is TheOpoism. and I play on USEast, I'm usually in channel opo1

 

[AKA-47]

Sure.

But lings are not overpowered, most terran players have learned to use the terrain to defend from rushes.

I love versing zerg when im terran. They never rush. In LT i always make a wall. Liftoff when metal needs to pass through

Dont wall vs zerg, there are 3 reasons:

1) M&M doesn't take long to tech to so u dont need the wall.
2) Sending an SCV to the cliff takes too long, just build the first depot next to ur minerals and then get 2 barracks inside ur base.
3) U wont get the wall up before zerglings arrive anyway, and besides, lings can run through depots.

The purpose of a wall is to keep dragoons out of ur base untill u get a tank, i only wall vs toss.

 

[Renzokuken]

I see. Thanks

or fill ur bunker with scvs, so when the lings destroy the bunker and c 4 scvs, at least u'll laugh them to death

thats pretty funny. but, for a good protoss commander, he'll get reavers quite early in the game and blow the crap outta that pitiful wall.(reavers range is better than seige tank.)

 

[Renzokuken]

Not in LT. Cliffed tanks will have more range and can see further than reavers. Because reavers scarabs have to travel on the ground. The tanks blast travels like lightning, no travel time at all. Scarabs get confused sometimes.

 

[AKA-47]

Siege tanks have the longest range of all units in the game, they can shoot beyond their line of sight.

 

[Original Raccoon]

But, sometimes it seems like the range of the Siege Tank varies. I know it doesn't, it just seems like it does.

 

[AKA-47]

No, i dont think so...

 

[Original Raccoon]

Well, that shut me up :|

my friend thinks exactly the same thing...but i'm positive that tanks have longer range. They just have a slow cooldown rate.

 

[Sc MaRiNe]

oh yeah, scarabs can't climb walls

 

[AKA-47]

Tanks have longer range than any other unit in the game.

 

[Original Raccoon]

Yamato Cannon can shoot pretty far.
