    Yeah, it's a f'ing harry potter spell. They might as well have called it the Dumbledore Siege Tank

    when i keep reading the stuff about the siege tank does this mean it has a turret on the tank to keep longer on the battlefield? not the giant gun but a smaller one that maybe fires a auto cannon?

    I don't think so. They'd have told us outright. I think it just means that it fires faster in tank mode. The whole description is kind of jumbled up, so who knows.

    didnt blizz say the range was increased in sc2?

    Is these stats from blizzcon? cause so much has changed since then, those stats are really useless since they are probably very inaccurate.
    Yes its blizzcon... and tell me how I would get more up to date stats? Its better to have something then nothing.

    Yeah, about the stats: I believe the ST new HP is 200, but I could be mistaken. Additionally, I don't think the new ST is overpowered. I mean, the damage is buffed, but it takes around 4 seconds between shots. I'm betting Firebats could be devestating to the STs. And the transformation effect is gorgeous. I may get distracted by its beauty mid-game! Yet the name Crucio is no upgrade from Arclite. And I just see Mad-eye Moody when I think of that...

    Oh, and the Medic healing sounds? ANNOYING!!!!!!!

    Obama has won. The seas of change are flooding the streets- a deluge of possibility, a monsoon of opportunity, a literal tsunami of inspiration. We're talking hope. And the only thing left to do is to put on some swimming trunks, maybe a pair of goggles, and just riiiide the wave...

    And a major pox on that bastard Jeph Loeb. Everything you touch dies.

    Excelent. Sticks to its real role and redesign is great.

    10 up Blizzard


    BTW Crucio might stand for CRUSADER.

    I was about to point that out! It sounds like blowing on empty bottles. And the rate of healing seems a bit slower than in BW at least the animation makes it look so. And did you notice the way the medics heal? i mean they constntly move their hand back and forth kinda like the SCV which looks like he was poking or fingering the minerals. Ok nough bitchin. The siege tank looks pretty sweet otherwise. It's kind of worrying it is more powerful now even if it costs more. Still later on in the game you have so much cash thtat you can build shitloads of them anyway. It might be a bit too overpowered.

    tbh, it's not really. Posting stats like this may lead someone to believe those are finalised. When it comes to models or the like, that isn't such an issue (ala the StarCraft 2 site itself) but with stats ... meeeh, it's a dodgy situation at best. You could always just ask Karune what the latest stats are of course

    Alternate Names:
    Grepyr class Siege Tank with 120mm Grepyr Shock Cannon
    Fenrir class Siege Tank with 120mm Fenrir Shock Cannon
    Hersir class Siege Tank with 120mm Hersir Shock Cannon
    Draupnir class Siege Tank with 120mm Draupnir Shock Cannon

    Any one of these would be better imo.

    Dude, Gradious class Siege Tank is better than Crucio.

    More so, anything is better than Crucio.

    Lollipop class Siege Tank.
    Hammer class Siege Tank.
    Klas Class Siege Tank.

    Anything but Crucio

    The Crucio has been designed for increased survivability with an enlarged, reinforced turret and hull.
    So they're just more heavily armored, I guess.

    Then there's

    The new turret layout also features an upgraded assault-mode armament package so that the Crucio can fend for itself more successfully in an open battlefield.
    Which could mean a lot of things.

    with this new super tank and the effectiveness of vikings and thors, i dont see infantry becoming more viable in TvT
    I'm not too sure about that. These tanks have a long cooldown.

    With a gang of Reapers and a number of d-8 charges, you could easily break through a few Vikings and Crucios.

    At least I hope so.

    That's because Marines don't move fast enough.

    But since the cooldown rate seems to have been increased, it's a better possibility.

    Also, the attack bonus is 50+50 to armored, so economically you're probably doing better to use light infantry to pick off lone tanks. Now, bunkers, firebats, vikings and the like all complicate the situation, but at that point, you should have a mixed army of your own, and you probably shouldn't be trying to take such a well defended position on foot. I can't wait to see someone drop auto turrets on big groups of siege tanks, though.
