Dear Spirit,

How do u TvT? When is it an good time to:
1. rush in to kill his tanks
2. drop marines onto his tanks
3. drop his base
4. build vikings

Hey, this was meant to be for mGG players exclusively but I'll help you out anyway.

1. You want to rush in and kill his tanks while the opponent is repositioning/unsieging his tanks. You can also rush in and kill his tanks if you have a superior force that can just tank the siege fire.

2. You should drop onto his tanks if he doesn't have much units to protect his tanks because it's not a good idea to drop the guy's tanks if he has stuff to shoot your medivacs down (vikings, marines, etc). However, drops don't have to be a "doom drop", drops on tanks can also be used to deviate tank fire so your army can stim and rush in.

3. Any time. It's good to apply pressure to your opponent whenever you can and deal damage to their economy, production, etc. Specifically, it's a good idea to do drops when your opponent is distracted which leads to another viable strategy of doing multi-pronged drops. For example, drops can be done while you're pushing and sieging next to his expansion.

4. Build vikings if you want to attain air superiority. Air superiority has the benefit of extending the vision of your siege line and additionally preventing drops on your siege tanks. I don't think there is a specific time on when you should get vikings with the exception if you're going mech, you should get vikings while producing tanks. To be honest, for bio play, I don't exactly know when but I like to get vikings after getting around 2-4 medivacs.

Hope it helped. If anyone sees something wrong, feel free to correct me and if you have additional things to add, go ahead!
