    i was playing 4v4 as a terran and i have a pretty decent army with around 20 marine 12 marauder 6 hellion 2 siege tank 4 thor and 5 banshee (any tip for strong army combination?).
    after scan at enemy base several time i saw a bunch of carrier that moving toward my allied(who got no army and play as zerg ). so i rush my army to save them. i lose my army my allied and they heading toward me.
    i start build some missile Turret at my base, i build around 11 of those but it still too late. im lose :(
    what surprise me however is that not even a SINGLE missle from my missile turret hit the carrier itself, every single one of my missle hit the carrier intercepter(the small flying thing) instead.

    so here the question. what are the best way(unit or building) to counter the protoss carrier spammer?

    oh BTW im not that fat

    Make sure you're scouting - using scans, etc. - and if you see a bunch of stargates or carriers, obviously you have to get ready for them and cannot just react when they move out. Throw a reactor on a starport and start pumping out vikings. When you engage you will have to focus fire your vikings towards the carriers so they are hitting the carriers and not the interceptors.
