Favourite Terran unit?

so out of all those units from the terran race, which is your favourite? u can choose 3 by the way.
and regard all the units as being fully upgraded.

 

I don't use terran much because i always find it very difficult to manage the army of troops, and i always run out of land to build structures. but these are the units i like the most:

Marine - versatile, cheap, attack air, inside bunker, stim pack then medics heal.

Seige tank - gosh everybody has love this baby....I mean what would terran tech tree be like if it wasn't for the seige tank? everytime i used protoss and zerg i wanted to have this baby.....

Battlecruiser - operational......their 3+3 defense plates are great and the yamato gun is superb!!

 

Siege tanks make me happy. And even though they are just Air-to-Air Valks are stupidly powerful units that can just blow everything out of the sky. Their missile splash dmg is great against carriers too since it affects their fighters.

 

Terrans are only my second race....

Ghosts. The pimps of the Starcraft universe. They fairly ooze awesomeness.

Wraiths. The hotshot pilots who can turn invisible. Nothing will watching units run when a laser form nowhere hits 'em.

Medics. They're hot.

 

HAHAHAHA
when i first played brood war, i was only 9 years old and the flirty-ness of medics sickened me
but now im 18.............hehehe...........i like them a lot!!!

it's only right to have hot medics treating the guys in the war zone

 

I like
vulture + spider mine

it is maybe on of humans best units.
-cheap&fast
-excellent scout... (every spider mine is an deatly scout too)
-spider mines doesnt count to your unit limit ...
-nice agains marines&medics ; zerglings... some other early game units

 

My favorite terran units are the ghost and the medic. I always fill a bunker with medics and surround it with ghosts.

 

They are good for the early game but by mid to late game I find them useless. Are there any strategies for their use later in game?

 

Spider mines rip through 'lings, so it's good mid-late against Zerg....And as mentioned, they're extremely cheap, only 75 minerals, so it's easy to make an entire army. Whenever I play Terran, not often, but I do, I have a squad of them in the middle of my base to support any side that's being attacked. Fast moving and, once upgraded, not that bad in attack power.

 

Yeah they're fast but the only reason I ever make them is for their mines ;D I should try keeping them around as a mobile protection squad like Fenix said next time I play Terran (which isn't often)

Well its true i doent see them often in late game becasue they cant resist a lot of damage and planting mines needs time ....but i often used them to destroy the enemy economy.
put 4 (or 8 )inside an dropship (or 2) fly inside the enemy worker line (expansion or main base) kill all worker and plant mines.
This works very good agains protoss because they cant always detect your mines and they have to waste units to destroy them!
Sure this wont let you win the game instantly but its fucking annoying for your enemy and you get some extra time while he is bussy

 

Vultures can be very valuable. I saw this movie recently of the Korean Starcraft Legaue (meaning the best players in the world) and one protoss player tried to Recall a huge army of dragoons into the front lines of a Terran base. The arbiters flew over, recalled, forty or so dragoons appeared. Unfortunatley for the Protoss, he had recalled on a small part of a VERY large spider mine field! All of the dragoons were killed INSTANTLY.

One escaped, but lasted 3 seconds as other terran units took it out.

 

!!! That's hilarious! I need to find this video. I would have been so pissed, wish I could see the guy's face haha

 

yup medics and marines work the best along with siege tanks with siege mode on! then they're juggernauts

 

seige tanks r the grand-daddys for any ground terran army!!!

 

I thought all hovering units like:
- probes, drones, SCV
- high templar, archon, dark archon
- vulture
don't trigger an attack from mines
:/

 

fully upgraded marines and firebats shouldn't be discounted. they're powerful in groups especially if you can use terrein.

 

Firebats are insanely powerful against 'lings in a Bunker.

 

Oh man its no contest. Bats > Lings if they are protected. Its like insta-kill.

On the flipside though, zealots can kill 'bats in 1 or two hits, but the bats hurt the zealots pretty good too.

 

Well, duh. Zealots are the strongest basic. A couple Zealots into a base at the beginning could wipe a player out.

Course, it's even out, cause Dragoons just suck.
