every loss that ive ever had (as terran, who i always play as for ladder) against protoss players had two things in common. void rays and photon cannons. i can counter again rays bc usually i make a port+reactor for that situation, but when i send in my troops i get destroyed by photon cannons. usually they are set everywhere, so drops dont work, and they are all over the base so i dont have enough time to take out the pylons, and by the time my next army is ready his pylons are rebuild. anyone can help? ill provide a replay to explain. plz help. im afraid to play ladder games at this point because this will result me in another loss. btw im also looking to improve, so if anyone has other tips it will be much appreciated
Looks like you need Siege Tanks with Siege Mode. It's the best way to overcome anyone who goes mass photon cannons. I would suggest going in with upgraded Marines to take down his Void Rays and Siege Tanks for the cannons. You might want to bring in SCVs to make Bunkers and Missile Turrets. If you want to get really creative you can go in with Ghosts and Nuke the Protoss cannons to bits =)
I play Terran too and also have this problem. I'd imagine a siege tank creep backed by a MMM ball would be the best counter to this Protoss strategy ? The tanks can take out the ranged enemy whilst the MMM ball protects the tanks from any zealot charges ?
i have played some games with the protoss just putting cannons all over their bases so that there will always be 2 cannons firing at the same time. and if the cannons are on the high grounds, you dont really have enough scans to use. one way i found to be the best against cannon turtle is ravens. make 3 or 4 ravens and put down 2 of those point defence drones and a few turrets. that combo decimates cannons
how come i never thought of that?!? add that strat with siege tanks on the front line and that front wall is gone! thank you
i play protoss and yeah siege tank and MMM works well against a phocan turtle. However, if they are turtling with phocans they might expect this, i know i do. Then if they see it coming they will rape you from higher ground with immortals and colossus. XD
on behalf of terran players i say thank you for stepping up to reply as a toss player :wubclub: btw im gong to steal "phocans" from u. i love it
