Siege Tanks?

[Todie]

You guys aren't watching the same games I am. In the last week, Terrans are increasingly using tanks v Zerg and Protoss, even against armies with moderate immortal counts. See Artosis vs Garimto for an example.

what's mostly in discussion is how useful the tank mode is.

And there's no point in arguing about Tank mode,it is clear that siege mode is the one prefered...

Oh, that's convenient. "This argument isn't worth having because I'm clearly right."

Honestly....

Mentallity? pff nobody cares about that,people see what is effective and how is effective,that's that...

The point is we haven't seen how effective tank mode is because nobody's even trying to use it. Their SC1 mentality of 'oh no, my tanks are getting attacked, run or siege!' is stopping that.

And how could you possibly know that is what everybody does??? People know that tank mode sux that's why they ALWAYS rush to upgrade siege tech and siege their few tanks in the first possible moment(watch from youtube all the replays between players from the platinum league) yet you continue to cling to the idea that they are better in tank mode...Well there is no point in arguing the next patches will show who is right ...

And two weeks ago, people knew the Hellion "sux".

As a note, non-seige mode now has relevance and does solid damage. I actually compare it to the form of a fast attacking immortal of sorts. I've gotten in a weird mood and tried it a few games and it worked VERY well against roaches with some maurader support.

They attack FAST.

I don't. I suspect it's true, though. Because I've seen them used really effectively.

And how could YOU possibly know that?

And how could YOU possibly know that?

I know because everywhere i see they rush for siege tech and siege them in the first possible moment...A for myself well i used both in mobile and static form but am really disspaointed by the time they last in the battlefield about(1-2 sec vs 4-5 hydras.... ) And the tank does a measily 15 damage while the hydra shoots 2 times 12...

You just gave us a proof that you don't know what we are talking about... Of course Siege mode is better than Tank mode vs. Smaller units...

We are talking about Tank mode vs. Big, Armored units. And yes, proof to you is that no one is using Tanks out of Siege mode, because they sucked in SC1. If you watch top Terran games, Terran is still playing like they did in SC1. They are massing Medivacs, and don't do drops at all, just for healing, they think that Medivacs are new Medics... You can't say that Tank in Siege Mode is better vs. Armored units when you didn't even try it. You tried vs. Hydras, and even Worse, it was 5 Hydras vs. 2 Tanks... Oh come on.

And here is the other thing...Do you really think that someone will use tank mode instead of marauders????? give me break man...
