Or banshees

Agreed, ghosts can not get in range to snipe/emp anymore in that match up. Zergs make overseers and have too much front line ground units/fungals. I do not even think anyone made ghosts in TvZ at MLG.

Edit:

If you go marine/tank composition you will not have optimal amount of gas to make banshees. It is all going into upgrades, tanks, marauders and medivacs.

Plus banshees are not that good.

Oh right, in kinda the middle of the game, banshees are perfect for that too, or well if not for knocking them out, but to waste energy from fungals, with spread banshees all over the place, but the lategame banshees are quite useless for that, since the zerg will have powerful anti air in that stage of the game.

I use ghosts for mass nuking in the super lategame, probably the only use of them nowadays in tvz.


assuming you are going mech ( wich every terran should nowadays, since bio turned into shit in tvz, in my opinion at least) you'll need banshees anyways.

Even in mech I feel banshees are not that good. Fungals/infested terran with corrupters are just too good at controlling air. Unless you are going all out air terran.

In which case you can't lose.

What do you mean? Can't lose as Zerg or air Terran?

++++++++

You should always get at least 2-4 medivacs first before adding 2-4 vikings for fast overlord kills. You don't want to do just 1 because 1 is only good for picking off far away overlords...with 2-4 if you scout where he keeps the majority of them you can do serious damage (esp if you couple it with a big push/pressure at the front).



Dis. Thors are not that great against big air targets because they spread too much. Vikings are THE way to go vs broods. But thors can be fucking magic against those corruptor balls that are targetting your vikings :>



Cloak. EMP. GG infestors.



I don't often see overseers with Zerg armies unless they're expecting banshees...



It's all about using them well...you can't just amove or focus fire with banshees, it's hit and run. With reapers, hellions, and banshees, Terran was very much designed to be a hit-and-run, high micro, economic damage race. Sometimes people get away from the roots of the race and expect to be able to win huge fights against races that are designed to win huge fights. Protoss, I'm looking at you.

But I'm not saying it's impossible to win big fights. Or that Protoss is OP. Different races with different strengths and different ways of winning games.

HTs crawl across the map
Can't cloak, can't burrow move
Can't lock units in place or reveal cloak/burrow with spell
Storm can be dodged to deal less damage


Wow, HTs are pretty fucking good compared to infestors/ghosts

This wasn't meant to be a balance thread. Prz.
