The Medivac is a nifty unit! It's used to heal any biological unit in the game. They can even heal your ally's biological troops! The Medivac costs 100 minerals and 100 vespine gas. It can carry up to 1 of the following: 1 Thor, 8 marines, 4 marauders, or 2 Seige tanks. It takes up 2 supply, and takes 42 seconds to build. It's hotkey is "d". It has 200 energy and it's movement speed is 2.5. It's sight radius is 11. It is mechanical so it cannot be healed by another Medivac. To make a Medivac, you need a starport; to get a starport you need a factory; to have a factory you need a barracks. The Medivac has a new command called "Ignite Afterburners" which makes it go even faster for 20 seconds! The Medivac's hit points are 150 and cannot attack. What strategy do you use with the Medivac?
One of my favorite units. Like to load a group up with marines, marauders and tanks then use afterburners for rapid flight and drop behind defenses. Healing ability of medivacs is great to recoup after battle. Take an SCV in repair mode and you can repair the tanks and medivacs as well.
