Vehicle Weapons

From StarCraftWiki

Vehicle Weapons is an upgrade that is available for the Terrans that enhances the damage output of all vehicles built from the Factory. It is researched from the Armory and, like all weapon and armor upgrades, it has a research time that is noticeably longer than the units build duration.

[edit] Costs

The research time for each weapon upgrade has been reduced considerably since StarCraft I.

Upgrade Level	Mineral Cost	Gas Cost	Research Time
Level 1	100	100	140
Level 2	175	175	170
Level 3	250	250	200

[edit] Affected Units

The Terrans in StarCraft II have three active units, and two canceled units, that are constructed from the Factory, all of which have an attack:

StarCraft II Unit	Ground Bonus *	Air Bonus *
Hellion	??	-
Siege Tank (Tank Mode)	??	-
Siege Tank (Siege Mode)	??	-
Thor	??	??
Cobra **	??	??
Firebat **	?? ***	-

* The attack bonus is accumulative per each upgrade level.
** The Cobra and Firebat have been removed from the open multiplayer aspect of the game.
*** Since the Firebat was briefly moved from the Barracks to the Factory before being dropped it is unsure whether Infantry Weapon or Vehicle Weapons will apply.
