Do you feel terran is lacking any role?

''Can't fight small units''* I know what you mean I'd rather they turn the Predator into a Wraith-like fighter. @DKutrovsky

And I think 15 would be a nice amount that way Protoss could get a Cousair(sp?) role kinda fighter and Terran could have the Predator back.

*But then again I noticed none of the air units are exactly speedy/agile so hmmm...

 

Which means that they kinda need one, Anti-small AtA is a huge gap in an army and without anyting to fill it that area of weakness will be easily exploited. I loved Valkeries, they were extreemly helpful versus swarmed air units id love to see that come back or see the preditor return from the scrapyard, its ability seems a little clumsy but it could be reworked.

 

Battlecruiser is a slow capitol ship you cant count him.

Same goes for the carrier, thats why i didnt mention him.

Terran had 2 units for GtA, marine and Goliath.

Protoss have two, Archon and dragoon.

The only reason why they have two is because by some weird twist of events, the zerg got the lurker and terrans are the only tier 1 unit thats ranged. So its not THAT big of a deal. Zerg didnt need anything besides the hydra for GtA anyway.

 

Maybe Terrans arn't in such a desperate need for an allround air unit either?
Not EVERY role has to be prefectly occupied.

 

Theres no area of weakness since there isn't any fast agile fighters. @Ronin

And forget what they had we are focusing on the now, and I think you are coming away from the main area of people saying Terran lack not having and opposite to the Mutalisk and Phoenix even tho the Viking pretty much matches up with them and is pretty much a very good unit.

AtA can't be a problem since all the Terran ground units attack air excluding the ST.

 

This may sound a bit un-terran,but what about an air unit that could Recall units?Bcoz,i dun think Banshee can travel through space and storywise,the terran may want to exploit their ground units and Banshee in case of a full-scale warfare.

 

heh heh tryn to get the right words out, 1 sec...
OK, Terrans need a light AtA vikings are too big i heard that they are low Hp high Armor, good vs capitol ships but crap vs light attacks, meanwhile their attack rate is nowhere near fast enough. its awsome if you can 2-shot a light air unit but it kinda looses its potential when your outnumbered 6:1
Send in the Preditors!
(not trying to downplay vikings, they have their own niche, so do preditors.)
PS viking still my favorite.

Edit, read the banshee page on SC2 website says that theyre transported via other ships/created on planet. @Zacron

 

WHY DO THEY NEED LIGHT ATA? THERE ARE NO LIGHT FIGHTERS YET, WOW.

 

Still It is better if they can be Recalled.

 

No, it's not better if they can be recalled. It would simply work like transporting Siege Tanks for instance, either build it on the planet or transport it in a Dropship.

Plus, Terrans don't have the technology to use Recall. They travel across the galaxy very slowly, and avoid passing the time by being in cryo-genic hibernation. Only the Protoss are advanced enough to warp things around.

 

There are light aircraft, pheonix and mutaliscs are light aircraft in my opinion so far they are both in the game.

 

I call them not light cuz they seem pretty slow now and their attack rate isn't that fast.

Also things like Coursairs is what I'd say is a light fighter.

 

They are considered light aircraft because they have a relatively low attack, relatively low hp, and pretty good speed.
