    Default Medivac snipe-ing

    As a protoss player i've been using high templars to pick off medivacs. (Really nice since warped in templars allow immediate use)
    Terran's are the only race that have transports with energy and this is their only transport method (no warpin/worms). Has this been a problem for any terran players out there?

    I love HT vs Terran. Feedback crushes 1/2 their army, and Storm kills another 1/4th easily. Chargelots mop up the last 1/4th well. Its harsh.

    vs Protoss has always been pretty tough but that's where the Firepower counts and well use of Crucio really helps out the key is have marines back up Crucios for anti air support and Ghost mixed in to counter immortals.

    I guess I'm wondering about drops. If you see a drop coming you can pick off transports before they unload (in one shot) with a HT. Does this seem unfair compared to zerg/protoss transport drops?

    As a Protoss and Zerg player I'm going to say no

    Stim your infantry, and have the medivacs heal while out of combat. Do this to drain your medivacs to less than half energy before entering combat.

    (turn off heal on the new medivacs, just drain the "old" ones. If for some odd reason you don't have stim, you can simply get your infantry to attack each other ...)



    Anyway, you are free to adjust how much energy you want your medivacs to enter combat with. You should never be suffering too much physical damage to feedback.

    I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one to have thought about this.
