Cobra

They should do it maybe a liiittle faster, otherwise it wont be that worth it.
130 hp?? wow, the vulture had like 80, right?

 

fast attack vehicle, just like the vulture

 

The vulture had 75 hp I think, Besides, the cobra will probably get a speed upgrade. There is not one unit in the game which doesnt get an upgrade. (Besides workers.)

 

Yes, I'm sensing that the new units are somewhat of a mix from the old units, instead of new versions of them. Reaver was split into Warp Rays and Colossus. Arbiter was split between MotherF.Ship and Stasis orb. Dragoon was split between Stalker and Immortal. Twilight archon is half-archon half-dark-archon. Viking is half wraith-half goliath. Banshee is half-wraith half-valkirye. Roles are not beeing replaced, but rather divided into a new arrangement. That's what I think.

 

How can a Banshee be half valkire? It cant even attack air!

 

It states it right underneath the unit stats. It says "Armored" if a unit is armored, "Fleshy" if a unit is fleshy, etc.

I've used the Cobra, and I have to agree that I am not sure about its role either. It isn't nearly as mobile as an upgraded Viking, and I don't remember seeing any speed upgrade. I've also found that the best units for taking down Thors are not mid-tier armored units, but first tier infantry. They can get right underneath it and maneuver much faster than it can hope to turn. Of course, Siege Tanks are so powerful that you can nail a Thor with about four of them spread out.

As a side note, they were using a lot of the old sounds on units they hadn't completed the sounds for yet. The Cobra was using the old Vulture sounds.

 

no, but it hits a large area

 

Oh well, when you see it THAT way.. xD

@Ne's post: Damn I envy you...

 

obviously the cobra's supposed role was anti-armor, since it has a massive anti-armor bonus, whether it does it's job remains to be seen

 

Thats why I think it should be support fire incase your lighter units get engaged by a large armored unit.

 

vulture was the perfect name, as it is a savager, much like the role played by the unit. scouting, harassing

 

well, for me, a Protoss player who loves Zealots, the accurate name for vultures (or their replacement, the Cobra) would be P.O.S.

 

haha vultrues owned zealots so bad in sc1, even their price is cheaper than zealots

 

Cobra sounds fine by me due to it's role and that it hovers also it's swift and pretty fast as well

 

Have you been watching the same demos as me Corp?
The Cobras move at the same speed as the Thor when it's turning.

 

Yep they do but Blizzard is still under construction so they are probably increase the speed of the Cobra plus i never expected the Thor to turn that quick to be honest

 

I like the cobra as it is guys, its an LTH and a GTA unit that can fire while turning/moving, the desing goes with its role too, a support fire unit.

But yes, the name is abit dodgy, name it Typhoon xD

 

what do those two acronyms mean?

 

Light to Heavy and Ground to Air.

 

yah just change the model add more detail and character to it. not a boring vulture look alike.
