Precisely, even if he had 4-5 observers, the Wraiths would have quickly dealth with them and even if 6 were only left, that would have hurt plenty. Also I suppose they would attack with the main push, so they couldn't be spotted or targeted by the carriers easily.

[@Roxxigaro]

if flash cancelled the two tanks he made when he scouted then made a second starport and wraiths instead of tanks he maybe would have had 6 wraiths by the end of that game and 8 less tanks for his push, I dont think it would have helped that game.

[@snaffu1]

Bisu opened so much smoother than Flash. That early engagement really slowed him down a lot, allowing Bisu to outscale insanely well from there. By the time the carriers engaged with Flash's forces, it was already a dice roll that Flash could get anything done to even stay in the game, let alone win. I don't think Wraiths would have helped him in such a position with lower econ and a tight window to try and stay in the game.

Protoss is a damn strong faction tho but that's why Terran has to be one step ahead/more technical. Oh and yea *must* zero in on each carrier at a time! Else you'll be farmed.

As discussed before - you shouldn’t let Protoss build carriers

[@d0k0night]

But you can't stop him from doing so. Protoss always pressures with dragoons when terran is forced to turtle up behind bunkers and tanks. All they need to do is delay you, with Dragoons guarding the exit. You can't engage that without leapfrogging tanks, which spends even more time. By the time you actually push out across the map, he's already got carriers coming out.

Can someone explain why ~wraths with cloak aren't used in these situations? Expensive, no upgrades, I get that, it just seems that it would give you an options to pressure carriers mid combat and let you drop the carrier count by 1/2 and give your gols the edge.

[@gippygames]

The problem is that terran needs to build multiple starports in order to mass enough wraiths on time. So the wraith counter isn't as cheap as people think. Meanwhile, terran already has 5+ factories to pump out mass goliaths.

[@eriks2962]

Typically protoss makes a bunch of obs with the wraith. so the half the cloaked wraith die before they can get the obs out if you get all the obs gracefully. And if you miss one obs, the wraiths don't do any damage to the carriers

[@pandabearguy1]

It's not feasible to get a big enough army of siege tanks, goliaths, vultures and wraiths with cloak on 3 bases in this amount of time If Terranw was on 4 base and Protoss wasn't so far ahead after the opening, it would be a viable option as he scouted the Carrier transition early enough.

I realise that 12 ghosts with lockdown is impractical. But why not make 2, and lock down one carrier with every engagement? The problem with carriers is that they get away and you can't hit what matters, but if they have to defend one of their number, the entire situation changes.

[@gippygames]

To get 2 ghosts with lockdown and cloak requires 500 gas (covert ops 50, cloak 100, lockdown 200, ghost 75x2), which could be used for 10 goliaths instead.

[@Sciolist321]

The limiting factor for Terran isn't gas though, and the limiting factor for Goliaths is factory time

[@johnkalyvas4838]

@@gippygames But 10 goliaths won't kill one carrier, 2 ghosts with good micro should eventually lockdown at least 2 of them, and if you kill them, that's -1100/500 for protoss. You also don't need cloak right away since Protoss has observers anyway. Once you get to 4 or 6 ghosts, it becomes even more cost-effective, because the overhead cost of the upgrades is a one time thing and any further ghosts only cost 75 gas, while carriers cost 250 gas each(that means even if you lose 3 ghosts for one carrier, it's still extremely worth it because of the huge difference in mineral costs). Also, 2 ghosts cost the same supply as 1 goliath, so supply cost isn't an issue either. Edit: Additionally, having 6 ghosts with full energy(2 Lockdowns each) means that if Protoss is stupid enough to click 12 carriers on your CC, they can lose the game instantly.

[@stambe8605]

@@gippygames And that 10 Goliaths die without doing much anyway. Also Flash went for Vessel + EMP - thats already 425 gas down the drain for almost no effect.

Carriers move faster than BCs. Against a pro like Bisu, the BCs will get kited all day and they won't be able to target the carriers. Carriers have 12 leash range, and Yamato Gun has 10 range. Protoss could also just Psi Storm the BCs.

[@riuoku]

​@@gippygames I know, I mean few (3-4) BCs with a dozen of Goliaths. I don't mean pure GC strat. If you had like 4 BCs and enough energy for Yamato, then you could instantly destroy 2 Carriers when they attack you. If Goliaths can get few hits on Carriers with their 8 range, then for sure you could land Yamatos with few BCs.

[@MondSemmel]

Those are different things: e.g. even hundreds of zerglings can't break through a Terran wall with moderate defenses. A closer analogy might be to say that "math" here stands for something like "ability to concentrate firepower in one spot": in theory 200 supply of goliaths could probably beat 200 supply of carriers. But they're ground units with collision and pathing issues, vs. flying units that are much easier to move as one, so the goliaths never get a favorable engagement. Similarly, Zerg hydralisks are strong, small, and clump up easily, and Protoss would have no chance against a 200 supply hydralisk army without psi storm and the occasional lategame reavers.

Why not use a few ghosts and shoot lockdown on them carriers?

[@dj_koen1265]

because lockdown has only 8 range ghosts die very easily and it takes a long time and is expensive to get going you still need goliaths anyway lockdown + cloaking + 1 ghost costs 425 gas which can be used to make 8 more goliaths which are probably more useful and then there is also time covert ops takes 25 seconds, research time is 113 seconds, and getting enough energy takees 134 seconds ghosts take 31 seconds to build you can build the ghosts while researching the techs but then you still need 52 seconds more to get enough energy so to get a single ghost with 150 energy would take 2 minutes and 5 seconds at its fastest and keep in mind that ghosts are as fragile as a marine (which as artosis mentions are useless in tvp because of how squishy they are) and that if the ghost dies you wasted 2 minutes of gathering energy in which you will die because your opponent has carriers when you are up against carriers time is everything, and ghosts are not reliable they are a massive gamble with low rate of success
