It takes 4 siege tanks approximately 41 seconds to kill 7 destroyers with 400/400 mana, losing no tanks.
You are talking about a unit, in this case a tank which can attack up to 9 units at once, so all 9 destroyers are hit in one attack, dealing piercing damage at around 25(31) damage.
Also think of it like this. Tanks = 3 food, destro = 5. For every 2 destroyers, you could support 3 tanks. 5 destroyers to 8 tanks.
Then look at it like this, each destroyer costs around 275 gold and 225 wood. A siege engine costs 190 gold and 60 wood. I mean the only thing that makes it harder for the siege tank is being a longer build time by 10 seconds, thats about it. |
Also, if you can: You can smash the Statue before it flys with Gryphons or other units. However, this theory is also assuming the units aren't being healed by outside forces or the targets are not being microed.
