*I didn’t forget the „Heavy Armor“ skill, but you have to keep in mind that we got only 4 skillpoints to spend on „Tank Cannon“ and „Heavy Armor“ on lvl 10, so we have our “creeping-skills” on a very low level, unless we sacrifice skills from mortars or even rocket, which we won’t do normally.
*The weakness of getting killed from towers quickly which the Ghost Tank’s summons are said to have, is not as big as you might think, because you can reduce the damage by splitting your summons to avoid AoE and give them heal.
*Concerning the Air Ship you mentioned the low hp, but I don’t see this that much of a disadvantage in point of creeping, because it’s quite easy to stay at a range where the creeps can’t attack you, but you can attack them.
I agree that he is “some sort of expert”, but I’d rather see his expertise in his flexibility. There are better Tanks in every aspect, but there are worse Tanks there as well. In the part of defence against creeps for example the ghost tank (as you agreed on that) with his spawns (Its better to get no damage at all, than to have reduced damage). Defence against tanks is quite difficult to be compared, because there the skill factor got such huge influences, although it seems obvious that against ground tanks the Goblin is better.
This flexibility is the factor why the Heavy Tank is choosen so frequently and why most good teams get at least 1 goblin to counter them, but as i said before i don't consider this to be imbalanced.

Quote: May be ghost could be a sort of support attcker against creep and heavy may be orientated to a sort of expert in defence againt creep and tanks.
What do you think?
