Which race has the best detection?

[AKA-47]

Because if u use defencive matrix the unit is no longer cloaked...

o i have never tried that but aka think about it a defence matrix unit is better because it can nuke other things that arnt around tanks! and succed easily

A single tank cannot kill a defensive matrixed Ghost in less than 20 seconds. Besides, just don't get into the tanks range. ANd have some marines as decoys. It works.

That is not what i meant. If u cloak a ghost the enemy has to locate and detect the ghost before they can kill it. This can be hard if it is late game, because u will have so many bases the enemy could be nuking. If u cast defencive matrix the ghost will no longer be invisible. Im not sure if a tank can kill a matrixed ghost in 20 seconds because im not sure if explosive damage is counted when attacking matrix, but the u will usually be able to get more units to the location in time.

Yea. Well when the guy nuked me, i had alot of goliaths instead of alot of tanks, he was out of the tanks range. So i had to use the gols instead. That's why he hit me, goliaths take a while to deal alot of damage to ground units.

 

[Sc MaRiNe]

yeah, but did his ghost have back-up?
e.g. tanks etc...

 

[Renzokuken]

No. They cloaked and i didn't hear the 'nuclear launch detected'. I was killing a base at the time so i had other things on my mind.

 

[Sc MaRiNe]

ok
lol

i still think massing goliaths is better than massing tanks for numerous reasons

i would say zerg, mainly because ov's can carry men, speed upgrade, site upgrade, and you start off with one in the beginning of the game.They are also very cheap, costing only 100 minerals. ALSO, they have 200 hp (i think) Tanks and reavers and guardians can own cannons very fast, and observers only have like 60 life or sumtin. Scan-sweep is perhaps the best detector in the game, so terran comes in second. Cannon abusers just annoy the hell out of me, beacuse they think they r so cool untill you fly around them and destroy your base. Protoss defenitly comes in last, because basicaly all of their units including detecters suck besdies Temp and zealots.
