    I think you're right about that, a time charge or something like that, just not a mine. I'm personally way more excited about the reapers' impact on gameplay with their awsome mobility and interesting tech mechanics. Bomb, mine, time charge, or whatever else is just extra gravy.

    Yeah i thought the Reapers is a very cool concept, making mass of them is very lethal for raiding bases and throwing a stack of bombs/mines

    PS: is there anyone here who has more riddles for the 'puzzles and riddles thread (part 2)'???

    apples > oranges

    no, everyone does not have to agree with that

    you're comparing an anti-tank unit to an anti-infantry unit. Oh-my-god!
    you would not use a vulture to take out heavy units
    you would not use a cobra to take out small units

    Orange is rotten, you don't need an apple to show you that.

    .......I liked Vultures better as anti-infantry. The only thing i want to know is a immortal considered big enough to take good damage from cobras or are the immortals considered infantry? And i would prefur if cobras go an attack speed upgrade or atlest a movement speed upgrade. Hell even both would be good.

    i think the reason why they limited the cobras movement (not vulture like) is to AVOID ABUSE or spam of the cobra. micro this unit ONLY to win(vulture) sucks, starcraft 2 is different now, a group of cobra will die against a colossus thats why you need other units to take out the colossus.

    starcraft 1 was limited in terms of using all units because higher tier units in starcraft 1 was not really useful in pro games. but now its different. and dont compare cobra with vultures.

    It's one of two things I asked of the admin when he offered me the mod position, that I get to keep my red name color. I love red.

    To be honest, I don't know why Blizzard made the Cobras an anti-heavy type of unit. Siege Tanks actually fill that role and I'm really not sure what is the point of the Cobras if they are an anti-heavy unit. Why would you build Cobras if your regular Siege Tanks is better at taking down those big units. It would make sense if Cobras are very fast units but from the looks of it, they aren't very fast. Only thing I believe Cobra is going to be better at is that they have the ability to hit air units. But why do you need it to hit air units if you have the Vikings around?

    remember the ion thrusters? an upgrade for speed. it's pretty likely you can purchase and upgrade cobras to make them faster.

    Yeah.. But you don't know if they really are coming back yet. They didn't even show the medics in the little movie thingy. They are coming back, though. Pretty sure..

    The Cobra is more mobile than the Siege tank is. I don't know how fast or slow it is but it's faster than being immobile. Also the cobra is probably less expensive than a siege tank. So, you've got a cheaper light tank for dealing damage to their large units and the siege tanks can deal with masses of small units due to their splash damage and to static defenses. I believe both units have their uses and that the Cobra is a good unit.
