    The US Military has been considering replacing the main gun of tanks with a missile launcher. This way it doesn't have to turn its top around to shoot at things. And missile can be fired farther. And missiles explode. They should make the siege tank fire a barrage of missiles (think Calliope Sherman but more accurate). In Siege mode it could plant itself and turn the missile launcher so it faces up so it can fire farther while in regular mode it could fire them like the Goliath does.

    And the current tank is ugly. Ugly ugly ugly. I'll be sure to import the Project Revolution siege tank because that actually looks like a siege tank, not a little kid's drawing of a siege tank.

    I wish Siege Tanks had a Siege Mode Upgrade or Missile Turret Upgrade.

    Depending on which you get, that's the mode you get on your tank. You couldn't move in Turret mode like Siege.

    I think giving the tanks an aa missile upgrade would completely get rid of the goliath which would tempt all terran users to just mass with practically all tanks. Personally I love the tank which is unparalleled in its brute force and range.

    And I have -1 power level for coming up with ideas and things that may go on in SC2 along with other people voicing their thoughts.
    THANKS RANDOM PERSON THAT MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT THEMSELVES BY POWERING DOWN OTHERS.

    Sorry that caught my eye. But on topic, I specifically meant that you could only upgrade your Tanks one way per game.
    You go Turret, or Siege. That is dependant on what your enemy is doing and building.

    Yeah I found normal mode for Siege Tanks in both Starcraft games more attractive than when in their Siege mode.

    I like the look of the SC1 tanks better than the new ones as well. For these SC2 tanks, the non-siege mode looks ok but when they turn into siege mode they look like puff balls on the ground. Their cannons look like lips with red lipstick on them!

    Actually the current tank in normal mode looks perfectly fine to me. And remember the Steam Tank from WC3, that unit had 3 different looks throughout the beta/game/expansion. So there is still hope for the Siege Tank.

    I honestly don't mind the Tanks now when I watched the video again.

    People won't be laughing when their base has a sudden lack of buildings.

    Yeah, I guess now i don't really care how the tank looks, because when you win who cares how it looks, if it just one the game for you.

    Yes, and the blood and steel of the terran army will prevail over the prissy protoss with their shiny pristine bases and the slimy zerg with their bone weapons. And they will do it with a goofy looking siege tank.

    Doesn't change the fact that the designer that made is an idiot (no I couldn't do better, he still sucks)

    I don't think it looks goofy but improvement is always good. The graphics/art style aren't quite as important to me as the gameplay.

    i think they are both important aspects of the game. gameplay being more important but graphics also being an important aspect. obviously I would not buy a game with shitty gameplay no matter how good the graphics are but I would also not play a game with shitty graphics no matter how good the gameplay was unless the graphics had nothing to do with the gameplay (solitare, poker, etc...)

    I just watched the gameplay video and the tanks were actually switching targets (especially the middle tanks) as the Immortals were moving in, so I think there are minimum range for tanks still.

    I understand what you are saying Paragon but I don't think they look shitty. The game looks fine to me and I can't wait to play.

    BTW beBoy your quote isn't quite right.
