| -Hotkey the comsat station to 9 and/or 0. This way you can get a sensor sweep quickly without having to click on your comsat station. You can get a sweep on cammand by pressing the station key and the S. Getting a sensor sweep can be critical if your troops are under attack from cloaked units, because the sweep will reveal enemy locations. -For defence, build bunkers (filled with Marines) and missile turrets together and place siege tanks beside them. This combination provides an extremly tenacious defence that's very difficult for the enemy to penetrate. -When both comsat stations and yamato guns become available, use them together to take advantage of the yamato's superior range. For example, when you want to take out a missile turret, sweep the missile turret area with a sensor sweep and then target it with a yamato strike. The Battle Cruiser will move in to take its shot but it will still be outside the missile turrets range. -This is a little underhanded, but it can be very efective: Build a factory or barracks behind the enemy's position and start cranking out units for a backside attack. If you can't afford to build there, or can't get an scv to that position, fly an existing structure into position and then begin building. -Use the Science Vessel's irradiate ability on biological units. This can be very effective, even against Templars or Defilers. -Use bunkers to prevent enemy movment. Place them at any choke point the enemy must squeeze through to advance. Before it's destroyed, a carefully place bunker can do huge amounts of damage to the advancing enemy. -Use bunkers in a "leapfrog" tactic(as Frank Gilson puts it), building them one after another, even deeper into enemy territory, with each previous bunker protecting the bunker under construction. This method is particularly useful against the Zerg. |
