you realize if you are not a fucking idiot 4 emps won't get shit on you?

anyways, mech is good, bomber just done it very fucking poorly, hellbats are useless junk to absorb some shots, nothing to base your strategies on.

mass hellbats + thors + tanks work fine vs a standard toss composition
the problem is that if he scouts you, he doesnt' use a standard toss composition
to play mech you need at least 3 bases, in a 15-20 min game, the toss CAN definetly scout you very easy

maybe i'm noob with the terran mech, but i just gave up, i dont use it anymore xD




my english is not godly, so i'm not sure i understood exactly, what do you mean with EMP over your thors?

after the patch Thors have no more "energy", the EMP doesnt work anymore




or maybe i just misunderstood what you said

what he wanted to say is:
4 emps take away ~1/2 of the whole protoss armys life (aka the shields) and possibly also hits a few templars. so it does a lot more for you than 2 thors that shoot 3-4 times until they are roflstomped by immortals.

on topic:
i also think pure mech is weak against protoss.
but adding in a few tanks for good measure is always helpful in big engagements, so why stick to pure bio lategame when the investement into a few +1 tanks isn't that big of an investement?
i also don't understand why terran doesn't use raven a lot more. one pdd keeps your vikings alive a lot longer so they can shoot down the colossus, 2-3 hunter seeker do massive damage to a deathball if the toss messes up and doesn't feedback them or seperates the target unit fast enough.

adding in tanks to bio is actually the worst thing you can do.
Go mech, or go bio.
If you mech you need to get banshees ravens and ghosts and a bunch of widowmines next to your tanks n thors, and as many hellbats as much minerals you have to dump
you need to be AGRESSIVE AS FUCK with banshees hellion runbys and hellion drops
for the lategame you need to set up mine fields from your remaining mines, with turrets (a bit bw style) with tanks, and you need to create choke points to fall back to with PFs so a zealot remax won't wreck you (useful with bio too)
once you got this start to trade and get up a comp of raven bc viking ghost with the addition of a few thors.
pdds work perfectly fine against tempests, so he won't be able to force you into an engagement wich would probably bad for you, if you have enough ravens
Getting Yamato cannon is also important for your bcs, gives you hell a lot of firepower.
(For the superlategame you need to get rid of all of your siege tanks hellbats and widowmines, they are just a waste of supply)
Engagements are all about patience, never engage until you are sure about the outcome being in your favor.

He would rather have enough ghosts to use 4 EMPs on the Protoss army than to have 2 thors to use against the Protoss army.

im really trying to do some mech v protoss, just need alot of practice doing it first before bringing it to ladder

You should try opening with hellion harass (like old old TvZ, pre-queen patch) and add 2 or so banshees to harass while you secure your 3rd. With 3 bases up you'll have enough gas to effectively jump into strong mech production and that might be a strong enough contain to let you get past the early weaker stages of mech.

Math isn't your strong suit is it?

idk wtf unit comp i should have lol cuz ive never mechd v toss before

meeeeh thanks

misunderstood with "feedback", my bad english apologizes!



maximum
