The unit is way too powerful both with its shoot-while-move ability and yomato.
Yomato can 1 shot many of the units and a pure BC army can beat better upgraded skytoss army how does that make sense.
With all the discussions going around warp prism an all this unit should be the real focus of any balance discussion. I m losing to terrans that i should never lose because of 1 unit its depressing. It can jump across the map for a blitz attack or it can jump to escape death basically get out of jail free card.
Unit is absurdly statated 550 hp absurd dps and Yomato in big fights turn the tide for the terran. It has 12-13 yomatos right at the start and the remainder of your army wont be able to defat the BC army and every low hp BC will escape. Please nerf this unit.
Terran is the race that dictates the pace of the game with early attacks and pressure but with this unit they can dominate the late game as well.
How does that make sense 1 race being dominant at all stages of the game?
Stalkers might work when they are at low numbers but when they are massed its almost impossible to win the fight, and ofc there are cyclones and tanks defending not like you can just walk across with a stalker army.
New cyclone, new BC, new Thor all super powerful no sky army can contest it and mass tank on the ground also makes it impossible to attack with a ground army to a terran that has tanks and BCs.
Thor, cyclone all need a rework but BC requires a clear nerf Terran is unattackable and sitting in his base massing BC with a 20 minute game that you cannot contest at any form; its not fun play non-interactive its just wasting time and its is depressing.

I have left the game because of BC’s harrasing in early game, it’s the most annoying thing to play against ever(and i play since WOL, i have seen things)…I find more fun in defending cannon rushes with shield batteries and immortals than in this bs…
You need FIVE queens to defend against ONE battlecruiser, implying he does not have yamato and you have all your queens perfectly in one place, if not then you need SIX or MORE(lol). And even if you somehow miraculously do manage to kill it, guess what, you have lost FOUR queens and bunch of drones maybe. Good luck defending next BC or other waves of aggresion. I’m not counting spores because no terran will allow to get more than few shots from spore before getting away from it or just almost one shot it with yamato.
even half brained terran will not lose ANY battlecruiser when harrasing, its impossible, just teleport repair for half price and you can go harras once again, one shot queen with yamato and you can kill another bunch of drones. It’s disgusting and ultra not fun to play against. It just should not belong in early game, maybe lets give zerg broodlords in early game so we can harras a little bit, that would be very fun too!
I think the easiest fix would be not being able to use yamato on buildings, we would be able to effectively use spores against bcs.

Well, if you’re playing Terran v Terran, I have no issues with opener BC play. I can tank them with Cyclones and/or Mines with no issues. If after this first attack fails and I scout, and see a lack of any other forces other than air then I setup a mine field around my money and turrets and have more Cyclones. That decimates the BC’s in short amount of time. I also spend less money and can go on the offensive after successfully tanking them.
As far as a Protoss is concerned the use of Stalkers and other air units which are usually faster and better are all you need to tank a BC. Shield batteries, cannons and Psi storm work magic. As far as Zerg is concerned, normally a zerg should have up to 10 Queens along with Creep spread and a decent amount of vipers and hydra’s and other air units to tank BC’s. I’ve seen 1 Zerg in a 4v4 beat 4 people which air toss and terran BC’s all by himself. So it’s doable and workable.
Yomato can 1 shot many of the units and a pure BC army can beat better upgraded skytoss army how does that make sense.
I’m sure any unit can beat any unit if you simply sit there and allow them to build said units uncontested. If you have properly scouted that your opponent is terran and they haven’t rushed or dropped on you without 4-5 minutes, it’s safe to assume they are going BC rush. Like I said before this is strong, but only if you haven’t properly scouted.
After testing, I have this to say, 3 cyclones almost equal in cost 450 Minerals / 300 Vespene / 9 Supply will kill a BC once locked on in as little as 7 seconds.
2 Cyclones costing 300 Minerals / 200 Vespene / 6 Supply kill the BC in up to 10 seconds once locked on. So againn, I’m not sure how this opener would be an issue if properly scouted. Cyclone is made to be the support unit for most of the early / mid game. If you don’t want them, then use Vikings.
3-4 Vikings with little to no micro kill 1 BC. So again, it’s totally on you to scout and be prepared. It’s more deadly if you don’t scout it. However every race can achieve the same damage that it does in early game.
BC is BC…Storm is Storm and hydra is hydra ![:slight_smile:](https://dc0ub2scyzxyp.cloudfront.net/en/sc2/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=6" ":slight_smile:")
You are right that a low upgraded BC army can take out of fully upgraded Skytoss army, but the thing you ignored is that a fully upgraded Skytoss army can beat a fully upgraded BC army. The most important thing in these late game fights is knowing what units to build (including static defence) and how to use your units. In the cases were a BC army is beating a Skytoss army, and vice-versa, the reason why that is happening is not due to either army comp being broken, it is more down to positioning, etc. (i.e. it all comes down to your use of your sky army and its supporting units).
i dont really agree bc needs a nerf ur the one that needs to improve
every unit have a weakness right
tempest outrange bc u can kite it for days and u just have to make sure he doestn jump on ur tempest
for terran u can just make raven cyclone and viking to counter it
as zerg u might think corruptor and viper beat bc u just gotta be patient and yoink them slowly
