So I thought I would make a forum to debate what the best unit is.
I'm not talking situational here (though you can use situations to help make your point), I'm talking about overall.
attention: I am not talking about your FAVORITE unit, I am asking about which one you think is BEST.
for the sake of cleanliness, I left out support (engineers, etc.), artillery, boats, and converted units. I think we can all agree that these are good units, but cannot be used on their own to win a game.
I am personally a huge helicopter junkie. I think its the best overall because:
1) Its an aerial unit, so it can go anywhere without losing defense.
2) It has a very respectable 10 defense (just as a reference point: plasma/normal tanks have 14, pinzer has 13)
3) It has high mobility of 12 (also because of aerial) and it can move after attacking, which is very useful for wearing down tank walls because you can get many attacks in one turn.
4) Its vision is 6 (as good as marauders, garudas, speeders, etc)
5) Its attacking strengths are fairly balanced, with a spike against light units
The only drawback i can see is it's cost. at 500 a pop, helos are most effective on a more expensive map. that being said, garudas were my second choice, because of their low price.

2 pinzers backed by infector > two plasmas backed by an assimalator
please note that pinzers will heal by 6
(plasmas by two)

yea soo
two tanks and an assimilator will be able to take out...let's say an 7 pinzy
the tanks will do six damage and the assimlator will do 1 with UV FTW!!!
besides tanks can take much more damage
in the long run plasmas win

okay
so now a pinzer has 2 hp
next turn it heals and goes back to 8 hp
now we have a pinzer with 8 hp and a pinzer with 10 hp
you have two plasmas with anywhere from 1-4 hp lost(maybe 1-3)

i think so
what did u mean
im talking about if two pinzer w/ infector were against two plasmas w/ assimalator
if the guy with the pinzers were any smart he would probably win
you can invite me to game if u want to test itt

hmm I have to admit two pinzys+infector is better than two plasmas with assimilator
how about two wyrms with two infectors against two walkers with assimilator? same cost; both equal 1700
you wanna try that nix?
