oh yea, forgot to mention that, whenever i got tanks, I'll try go defensive, but when it is the right time to attack, I am really bad at going offensive with tanks and MMM, i've tried to place them nearer to enemy and use scanner, but it is easy to counter i suppose, me so noob here rclxub.gif

you can review replays, whatever mistake you make you try to learn from it, and good points from your enemies you learn to adapt/execute it yourself

you could try marauder heavy compositions for tank bait while you move in your own tanks. or having air superiority with banshee/vikings (can even drop the viking to their tank line to draw fire while you close in your tanks)

TVT is typically a matter of patience, something i lack a lot hence i just mmm a move smile.gif
if he got tank lines, i drop his friggin base, he cant be everywhere

thanks for the tips! i did tried the medivac dropped once in a small fight and wiped their tanks, thanks for reminding though, but in TvT, what is the safest build? I often try to scout them for expansion, if they go for early expansion, i confident a bit, but if no, i scare, coz last time I did a mistake, I did expansion without scouting, then got rush by their marines n marauder, what is the best offensive to go if my enemy Terran go defensive? i thought of only air offensive, but is that the only way? i hate to play defensive though, just putting tanks there and turtle until enough MMM only strikes, always same technique

there is no "best" unless you're a progaming korean that spams MUHREENS ALL DAY ERRY DAY.

seriously though, you know whats up anyways. like you said, just scout and react to the situation accordingly smile.gif

just hope I can react faster though, there are so many things I have to counter, especially a backdoor medivac! hated how they harass me, and now I just built few turrets there just in case, but sometimes feel it's wasting though when they do not backdoor

hhhm... early banshee? for scouting+harass?? shocking.gif

yea, might be a good idea, saw some pro's doing it, BUT, it need insane micro!! have to harass and do other stuff at the same time,


and I might be thinking to change from Terran to Protoss, not sure why, what i feel is that although Terran is flexible, but it doesn't have to "creativity" that Protoss has, aiya, dunno la, use Terran for now 1st, later only decide tongue.gif and i love the observer from protoss alot!! everytime i play protoss, if i can rush build those little guy, im gonna definitely do it
