Ok so apparently Heat Seakers only target units right?
Well, larvas are units and they can blow up pretty easily. Heatseaking a group of larvas with a heatseaker will just end up in an economical harrassment, but heatseaking larvas with around 10 heatseakers would result in an actual attack against the enemy expansion, and with enought heatseakers you could hunt for zerg structures.
Toughts?
I also need a beta tester to try it out and save the replay or make a youtube video.
Are you sure HSM's damage buildings? Spidermines don't.
You'd be better off with Autoturrets.
Moved to SC2:Strategy forum.
they do damage structures (altho u can't directly target them), but as stated above, you'd probably be better off making a crapload of turrets. a 1500 hp hatch would need at least 15 HSMs (and probably more, due to splash effect and regen), which translates to at least 15 ravens. At that point, those HSMs could be better used elsewhere.
I thought it was Hunter-Seeker Missile.
Hunter seekers cost 150 energy. Their main use is through their splash damage, not single-target. If you had enough ravens to launch 10 HSM, you're better off using Autoturrets like DS suggested.
Actually it is "just" a Seeker Missile.Quote:

Around 4:10 is the part about the Raven.
I tried this out with Hamshank the other day - you can't click the Larvae fast enough to launch like 15 Seeker missiles :p. You'll get maybe 7 or something like that, before the Larvae blow up and you have nothing left to target :p.
Like has been said, this is a bad use of Raven energy. But if you did want to target the larva with an arbitrary number of seeker missiles before the first one lands, you could do so by shift clicking.
