Hey everyone: I've been really busy with college and work so I hardly have anytime to post anymore but I still read the major posts when I have the chance to which is also, not very often. Anyways, I was noticing that a lot of the unit reviews refer to things like "deals extra damage to light armored unit". First off does anyone know which units have what type of armor and second does anyone have any idea as to which units deal extra damage to what type of armor? Usually when I post questions I provide my own feedback but this is knowledge I don't have so I am putting it out there on the off chance that someone would know it. Thanks for reading and if you have any ideas please post. =]
Well have you watched the videos? Some of them show you the units in action, and describe some of the armor, and what kinds of attacks it is weak to. The class of unit may help you on the unit's armor. I'll post when I find some info till then Cya. Also nice seeing you online once in awhile, or at least your posts.
Heres what I know Infantry has light armor. Colossus and Ghost get bonus Vs light armor Marader gets bonus vs heavy armor
I imagine that they're continuously playing around with the types and bonuses. In the game, however, bonuses will be viewable as part of the weapon's attack (mouse-hovering over the weapon icon) and armor type will be viewable over the unit's armor, I think. Other attributes will be placed in the unit's frame.
As far as i know these armor types exist (perhaps they will add more): Light (marines, medics, perhaps some zergs, Zealots) Armored (tanks, perhaps some zerg, Thor, Battlecruisers and so on
Thanks for your information guys. I was wondering because when I did some online searches I couldn't really find any information in regards to this but people were discussing it and I was interested in this information since I hadn't encountered it before. Thanks for that information. I wasn't sure about that because I knew that in WC3 it displayed this information for you but I wasn't sure if they were going to provide this information in SC2 as well. I was wondering if this was going to be experience knowledge that you had to gain as you played the game and learned on your own that "oh yes snipers deal extra damage to light armored units" or it would be provided information. Thanks for any information that you guys provided, its much appreciated. Also I hope this isn't quoting excessively, I just wanted to give credit where it was deserved, I didn't want to quote one person and have someone else say hey i provided information too..
I think he meant that it should have a tough armor, invulnerable to some weapon types. Personally I think it is like a building so it will have hard or building class armour.
I think buildings will either be armored, or a new type. But i remember the Terran Gameplay Video, where the Thor was countered by Cobras because of their bonus vs armored units, so i think the Thor is armored just like the tanks.
www.sc2armory.com shows all the units stats, including armor type and what bonuses (if any) it gets vs other armor types. I'm pretty sure all buildings are armored.
sc2armory is crap IMO. 'Many of their stats are purely guessing, and totally unrealistic. And no, i dont think buildings are armored, because then to many units will have a such big attack vs them.
I never said that I believed that SC2armory's numbers were 100% correct, I just said that they had stats for the units. I agree with you that most of the stats are probably wrong. As for buildings, I don't see why they wouldn't be heavily armored, especially Terran buildings.
