    LOL, without the scourge, the zerg will have more fun watching thier swarm die trying to kill the colossus

    I bet the stalker will be a great support unit for the colossus

    just as the marine is for the tank

    AA will be able to hit the colossus since its so tall. But the colossus can't hit air targets so they would be completly immune to the colossus threats Also, most AA aircraft do a lot of damage with their basic attack

    Thats makes any AA fighter like the scourge extremely powerful against the colossus who will be unable to fight back in retaliation

    If you are going into battle against a heavily defended position near an enemy base which units would you rather use on the battle field.

    The mighty colossus with its sweeping beam and lots of hitpoints?

    Or the siege tank with its long range and splash damage?

    Colosus, just seems more threatening than a tank that hits from a long distance away, it's more in your face.

    i cant really choose, they are both good for 1 part of breaking down the defence, the tank for buildings and weaking the units with lots of hp, and the colossus for taking down all the small units you are sure to face.

    The colossus has mobility, the siege tank doesnt.

    But now we have things like stalker and immortal that could take down siege tank while the colosus is still on their ledge holding position and firing wildly.

    colossus is mainly anti infantry, it should not even be compared to the siege tank

    How can you compare which would be more effective when they're from two different races?

    A Colossus on approach will be destroyed by opposing tanks. It would have to be that way for balance reasons.

    Well this is just personal opinion about which you would rather have in battle, not let's compare pro v. con adv. v. disadv. for every aspect of both units including supporting their own races, it's just which you want behind you when you charge.

    well, in a battle i think collosi will win b/c of the massive money they cost. in a recourse battle the siege tank b/c its anti armor and collosi is anti infantry.

    siege tank will kill colossus in 5 hit, it can probably hit the colossus twice before the colossus reaches the tank. so it's likely the tank will win as i don't the the colossus's attack will be effective against the tank
