i thought it might be interesting to have an upgrade to tanks so that you can load a single marine into it as a gunner. seen this in a few other rts and it seemed to work pretty well. of course if the take dies so does the marine

sounds like an ok idea. Although that would make it a hassle late game i think

I don't think adding a second weapon to a siege tank would make it in the least bit balanced. They had to remove the ability to move and fire because it was far to cheap to just dance around the tank and fire on units.

That would be like making the Crucio into the Wc3 Steam Engine. It could only attack buildings, but could target up to 6 air units and fire missiles at them. Although they were weak, a number of them could weaken or decimate air just as bad as a flight of Flying Machines.

Besides, you could use air or fast ground units like Zealots to slaughter those things effectively.

Either that tank was on manual fire.

Or they added target priority values like they did in Warcraft III.

watching it again it didn't hit the medic it hit a marine first. guess it was the closes to it. it didn't go after the medic until all the marines were dead.

Which pretty much explains I did.

Usually, any unit fires at the closest target, then goes for the higher proirity one.

No No.... the medic is all by itself and its all alone running away and it eats a blast and keeps running lol.

P.s. no way a medic has enough hp to eat a cannon blast.

You do know those videos aren't a reflection of the game. They are just to show the animation, and none of the units have proper stats.

@Zmoney: In SC, damage from Siege tank is cut in half vs infantry.

Not all infantry. Well, if you count a dragoon as infantry that is.
