| obviously you need to then set up before they set their tanks up. An almost surefire way of winning tvt is to make a huge contain. Its weird, btu if u make a line of turrets across the map, its quite hard for the other player to get around it. Also, if you find they dont have many gols or turrets, get dropships and just drop right on their ass. Really, tvt is just about not dying, not so much as winning (imo). |

| im not sure what problems ure having with that. send scv (usualy couple) to take the first shot from the sieged tanks, send your tanks in after the scvs, when theyre in range seiege them. u should get a shot before they shoot their second.if its groudp vs group u can target 2-3 tanks (depending on upgrades and damage already done) per enemy tank so u take them out and dont waste your whoel group's attack on one tank... um. for me tvt always been about drops, but then i played some really good ppl and got owned now i dunno. seems teh mix wins, change your strats so your oponent doesnt know what to expect |

| All terran is - is expanding and starving...so...ledge drop him while expanding and defending your own ledges...this enables you to have an advantage of 2-1 tanks...thus you dont really need great micro...not other than that, to make tanks not attack yours...either send an scv like you said or if you dont have one or a building - put a tank farter in front than the rest then when they blow the first tank sidge the rest and blow them...now remember you have to have MORE tanks than they have to do this...other than this im not very good at giveing advice so..ill shut up now ^^ |

Nevera,
If you don't think a question's worth answering - then DON'T. Keep your acidic cynicisms to yourself. |

you have to time that correctly, too early u get owned by goliaths, too late u get owned by his bcs. also depends who you play, if u play on bnet random ppl, games dont last more than 20 minutes |

I think he can come up with an answer himself if he just tries even a little. That's what I meant. Like I said, what does he think?Last edit: 2003-09-02 07:02:37 |

| Containing terrans is the best way to win TvT... in fact I just bring 3 tanks and siege outside his base and then build a turret line across the map. Once i've sieged its almost over at that point... I think TvT is like my best matchup. Of course if its a qwerky map like bifrost or something then its a whole new ball game. |

| Actually, knowing the tank range and tank sight of both their and your units precisely is your biggest advantage. Tanks have a firing range of 12, but a sight range of 10. Hence, in any situation where you can, eliminate his ability to continually see past his tanks initial sight range, while keeping yours out of his. |

| It is important you use your scanner, get them fast and early. knowing what the other guy is doing is what TvT is all about. |

kill one tank at a time
if u see a terran with his tanks placed all over dont just run in as if u were protoss with zealots and goons, go in 4-5 squares at a time sieging / unsieging, or just drop scvs on his tanks so they kill each other
be creative !
use matrix vultures and mine his tanks
Thats where understanding tank range is important :D |
