Ok invite me...
Heli vs plasma one on one?
Plasma wins with at least 6 health left...

True. Besides, a pinzy and a heli would draw. Helis at most can only do 2 damage to a pinzer, which could just repair each turn... The end result would be pinzy with 10 health and heli with 10 health.

Do you jest? Helicopters might not take a lot of damage, but heck, they SUCK against pinzers... you need something like 4-5 to bring one down from 10 health. How much is that? 2000-2500? That's a lot for 450 credits... With that much money (2500), you can buy 2 pinzers, have an infector to make sure they survive, and have two wyrms beat the crap out of those helis!
Helis are great, don't get me wrong, but not against khraleans in general...
Also, why no artillery? They're essential! I can understand for the boats, but not the artillery... I would've chosen the Wyrm, it's move and attack capability makes it VERY efficient in close range, not like that pussy walker that just sits there and shoots from afar 
So instead of the wyrm, I chose the garuda, one of the most versatile units, being pretty cheap and can heal a shit ton in just a turn (+6 with just an infector!). It's way better than the heli cost wise, and is almost an equal to the heli. They just suck against marines on forests or mountains...

Obviously you would use support to back up your pinzers in a real game, but for the sake of the argument if you could only do helos vs pinzers, helos would win, because eventually there would be enough helos to take down the pinzers one by one, while the pinzers keep hitting for 0.
although, you probably are right about garudas. i think i overestimated how much move after attack and better vs light units was worth. for 150c less, and double repair too, garudas are probably better.

Well yeah without any backup pinzers get pwned, although they'll resist for awhile...

that is certainly true. if there was one unit that was good enough to do that, the game would have major balancing issues.

Sure, but if you could elect a best unit then I would pick the most versatile one

I picked for the same reason as Nicko: versitility... Only because I agree that really units are realitively equal when used in the proper situation. Choppers are great too, but with only +1 heal they can be hard to care for... They're my second choiced for versitility...

i voted for helos, because they ARE the best.
but my second would have to be the pinzer, because i agree with the argument over pinzer being better.
i mean hello... pinzers already heal for 2, so just that alone makes em better, they could take out a plasma tank easy.

Ohhhhh I wouldn't say easily
The mighttt be able to
I haven't had that kind of battle in a while
Care to test this, murlock?
Pinzer might win if the plasma was dumb enough to keep on attacking and the pinzer just kept on healing
