On Maps such as Lost Temple, they can harass, prohibit or shut down (natural) expansions by taking advantage of "inaccessible" cliffs without ramps.Īlas, the Tank Mode offers little benefit over the Marauder. Siege Mode is commonly used to create fortified defensive positions, or long range offensive positions that force the enemy to take action. However, it cannot shoot at anything in a 2 radius around itself. The Range of the Siege Tank gets almost doubled from 7 to 13. When you select a number of tanks and some are sieged and unsieged you can either press D or E if you want to quickly and easily unsiege all, or alternatively siege all.Most hotkeys in SC2 are on the left side of the keyboard to make for easier use.To siege the hotkey is D and to unsiege the hotkey is E, this is different and arguably better than SCBW, where the hotkey was just O for both. Switching between modes takes precisely 3.5417 seconds, during which neither weapon can be used. The Siege Mode ability increases the attack range and damage of the Siege Tank and adds splash damage at the cost of rendering it immobile. The Tank Mode is required for the Tank to move or to be loaded into Medivacs.
