    Protoss, I can kill. Zerg, I can handle. Terran? its messed up.....

    So far my most highest win ratio strategy with Terran is mass marines with medivacs and banshees with cloak and possibility of vikings and siege tanks. Though my TvT are still averagely losses, and they go on more then a hour. Its insane, If I want any chance of getting to silver I am going to need a help for this.

    So far this is about my normal build with army.

    Make a marine and barracks with reactors. Keep pumping out marines while upgrading and get a factory, scout and check if I need to attack, make a counter army or get siege tanks...Then when my MM army is complete, attack and use shees to help put nearby cloaked.

    Any strategys you care to share?

    Thanks.

    I'm having mirror trouble too-are you in NA? Want to 1v1? I find that tech is better than bio in tvt, with maybe a little m&m. A couple well placed tanks can work wonders.....

    How much do u upgrade? I would only go one up on dmg for marines and one for tanks. I wouldn't waste to much more on that early to mid unless u KNOW its going to go into late game. When I play Terran, I usually go M+M+M w/ shell upgrade, shield upgrade and a dmg boost.

    This is my strat that I use against both Protoss and terran but it works best vs terran. Im in gold leage about to get in platnium. It works about 8/10 times and usually I loose bc i was out microed but the strat gives you a great advantage.

    Make 3 scv's. Then wait to get 100 min and make a supply depot.
    Wait for 150 min's and make a barracks with another scv(make a wall of course). While baracks is being made use the scv that was making the supply depot to find the enemy and make a bunker outside his ramp. As soon as your barracks is done pump out marines and set rally point to your bunker. Now you have the enemy trapped. When the scv is done making the bunker you should have enough to make another barracks by your bunker and a gas for tech lab. When your doing all this you still have enough minerals to pump out scv's and marines. Build Tec on your proxy barracks and start pumping out marauders. You should have enough gas now to start researching marine shields(vs terran) or Marauder shells (vs protoss).
    When you have about 3 or 4 marauders and like 8-10 marines you attack and usually overwhelm the enemy because they feel very secure behind their wall which they are not. If they have a substantial force that could overwhelm you run back to your bunker and repair it with your scv. Then just start harrassing their wall with your marauders and destroy their buildings. If the initial rush fails which it usually doesn't .. Now this is the part I haven't perfected since the rush usually always works.. You can either tech to tanks or make another marine marauder force to kill them.. Up to you.. But this strategy works great vs terran.

    I currently meet a lot of terrans who don't even try to attack, just had a 1 hour game vs some terran dude who didn't attack even once.
    When I see them go mass siege tanks I expand, get as many resources as possible and try to overwhelm them by sheer number. It ended up as a 200 vs 200 battle, he pretty much had his entire base filled with tanks marines and turrets and I don't have the slightest idea what to do.

    I tried medivac drops, banshee harrass etc but none of that could do enough damage so I could push further with my other troops. I took out all his expansions but just couldn't kill his base.
    Guess I would've eventually won but it would've take another hour the way I was playing.

    Anyone got some tips vs players who only defend? I was trying to slowly wear him down while he has no more income but it just took ages.

    Battlecruisers. Enough of them will beat turrets and marines no problem. Especially if you also have some ravens using point defense drone to block missiles from the turrets.
