Crucio Siege Tank - as good as its predecessor?

I really like the new tank. It looks pretty badass and i love the siege animation.
And correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't some kind of non-siege-mode attack mentioned in addition to it's cannon ?

 

I want to have babies with the Crucio.

It's regular firing mode is the sex, because the Arclite's non-sieged attack was slow and not worth keeping it in that mode except for playing leapfrog with other tanks while trying not to crush the Marines and Medics frolicking about.

 

most likely tanks will (sadly) be slower to get) ..ala reaver speed maybe.

Edited out quotes. Please read the forum rules and refrain from quoting unnecessarily.

 

No,you still only have to build a factory,then you can get your tank,and it's siege mode maybe still in an add-on building

 

I dont like that you can get it without an add-on building, isnt that just a bit OP? The cobra/jackal/vulture "or which unit it will end with" shouldnt be build with an add-on should it? The stronger the higher tech IMO!

 

Wow, wow, wow, wow... wow... wow... This is not my glass Lois!
Now seriously: Where did you get the information that my beauties do not need addon?

 

That is a mystery to me as well, i've seen no info saying that the crucio is avaible from the factory at the start.

 

You have seen no info saying that because it doesn't exist.

Factory = Jackal
Factory + Nuclear Reactor (addon) = Doubled Jackal production
Factory + Tech Lab (addon)= Siege Tank
Factory + Armory = Thor

Those are the current Factory units. The Viking is built from the Starport again, according to Jon.

 

Thor is build in factory only in the Korean build I think. But yeah, shame on you furrer for confusing me!

 

Where do you have this info from?
I just heard it somewhere... that the Tank was build without (I think it was the Chinese build)
But OFC its stupid, I just trust people to much
Lets ask Jon:
Jon where are you? We need your help!
Did that tank need a tech-lab?

 

I used Jon as my source when I wrote that, no worries.
But, the Tank might be even earlier than in SC1 for another reason.
While contructing your Factory, you can add a Tech Lab to your Rax. When the Factory's done, make it switch place with the Rax. Tanks teched. Only problem will be your economy, you will need a really early gas to support the Factory, Tech Lab and later on the Tanks.

 

You require more vespane gas.

 

most likely.

A longer build time wouldn't surprise me (3 food later ? )

 

having your first siege tank come out from the factory with SM is a little to OP in my opinion.

 

Crucio is stronger now,even in tank mode,so having SM when come out from the fac is imba

 

I don't mind having to tech Siege Mode. The second my Factory is done I'm building a Machine Shop anyways.

 

Why are we even aurguing about this, you'll have to tech siege mode as in SC so that it remains balanced.
