i guess so far looks like one of the few ways to counter immortals with tanks is having reapers along with them

interesting how they have that shield against the tanks

the way how i see it to counter immortals is yeah with reapers but instead of relyin on reapers solely id recommend the banshees, but idk if itll activate the sheild for the immortals, anyways id also recommend just usin plain marines w/ stim and the immortals should be easy


besides that yeah usin tanks seem to be for strategic use now instead of stackin the tanks for a bombardment, seems like u have to play smart, hmm another question is instead of the shock cannon will the tank regular cannon mode activate the shield?

yeah. there is that question if 1 immortal vs. 1 tank (not in siege mode) with all stats up, which will destroy the other? my guess is that the immortal's shield will activate durring the tank's orignal cannon blast, and the tank will end up losing because of the high defensive shield the immortal has. -

and it also appears to me that the immortal is faster moving than the tank. so the tank losses in speed too. unless blizzard comes out with a NAS boost for the tank which would be a neat.

BUT... the immortal's shield is its only benifcial attribute. it can withstand substantial blasts of damage-whoop whoopy- the tank on the other hand, is a little more versatile and used more strategicly being used for various tasks. giving you the option to hold a strong cannon fortified position blasting the enemy from a far distance and can be aided/repaired on location by an SCV. so to me. the tank wins b/c of its all-around usefulness

TANKS

Immortals have that hardened shield which drops all incoming damage to 10 as long as it has shields. It also does a fair amount of damage against Armored targets. But tanks are cheaper. :/ And have better range with Siege mode.

I don't get the point of making the comparison to be honest...if you think of the game in terms of hard counters you won't get anywhere. Yes, certain units are very good against others, but that's not all that matters.

or just have a shit load of tanks, fully upgraded



I disagree it matter a lot, but the problem is you can't really switch strategy in the middle of a big game it doesn't work that way. But knowing which unit is hard counter makes a huge different. If you play enough, you know that's true. You can have kick ass micro and macro skill but if your opponent just so happen to have a hard counter strategy against yours. You will most likely loss or at least have a hard time, but of course if his a complete newbie than it doesn't matter.

But we talking about same skill level, and yes hard counter does matter and a lot.

For example: Stalker in general is weak against Tanks, but if you upgrade them with Blink they will have a better chance. So if you see you're enemy going Tanks you upgrade blink....... and maybe even make a few Phenoix.
