'Cliffs' Are they still safe?

No its not, a good Tank Commander would of unsieged his tanks and either retreated while firing at the immortals as tanks have a larger range and can fire while moving, that video was only that way to show the hardened shields.

 

but they role of the immortals had already been served at that point, the zealots and colossi made it into the base

 

Sorry i dont really get what you mean

 

Yea but you really cant build bunkers on a tactical advance like that, unluss you have a bunker "hop" prepared.

 

the whole point of the immortals spearheading the attack is so that the zealots and colossi can get in without the tanks shelling them from afar.

 

Oh I c, thats true. But a Tank Commander should always have quick escape from situations like that. Either a quick dropships removal (or addition of support units), a station where the tanks can retreat to or more tanks covering those.

Anyway I LOVE the idea of the immortals, it'll stop peopl from JUST massing sieges. and if it doesnt better for me i say =D

 

Yea but you'd have to stop the advance early to spare your tanks, if the advance is HUGE i'd sacrifica a few, ive killed off my own bases doing that b4, it wins games.

 

You're going to nuke the army charging you, while in the process, destroying your OWN siege tanks, thus doing the thing you were trying to prevent?

 

once an army is in your base, though, you woulnt probably want to run away with tanks.

o and ghost, youve been double posting a bunch

 

Sorry about the dp's but i cant get the hang of double quoting.

 

oh ok. just making sure you were aware.

so reapers are going to shield tanks from a nuclear explosion by holding hands??

 

LOL!!!

 

I seriously lol'd to that one. I think he was talking about the whole immortal/siege tank thing earlier.

 

well he was still talking about nukes at that point too.

 

I wonder how many people holding hands would it take to stop a nuke...

 

*shrug* just make a really compact bunker made of humans

 

i dont think i can count that high

 

Oh hey, Burkid, you get a owerup: for that one joke btw.

 

no, siege tanks cannot do this.

you just press the quote button by their post then when you're done answering that, you press the quote button for the next post and it adds that quote to the bottom of what you were saying.

 

K, thnx about the dp thing

And yes they can, properly mircoed they can drive off AND fire at enemies, their nose turns to fire while moving.
