Predator

can't see sh1t damnit

 

is predator is anti-air only? if so

bashee is anti-ground only
viking-air/predator is anti-air only
battlecruiser cost to much and too slow to get

god damnit so many new ships but not a single cheap versatile all purpose one

 

You don't count Viking as all around, versatile, awesome unit? Wow...you have some high standards

 

viking is versatile but still to attack ground they need to transform. when they do that, they are susectable to ground fire. unlike wraiths in sc1

 

yea the wraith had a crappy ground attack. I rather have upgraded marines.

 

Yeah, a couple of upgraded marines cantkae out an uncloaked wraith EASY.

What I love about the Banshee is that its a specialized Air to Ground unit and in SC1 there was only one, the Guardian and it was no were near the awsomeness of the Banshee.

 

yea i really love the banshee. the unit model still reminds me of that empire earth unit, but oh well, I still like the model very much.

I love the predator just as much ^_^

 

Where are you guys getting information about it's hp and for that matter, how does flying tiger have any clue what the model looks like? Wtf.

 

guys I got it here...

Yeah, wraiths + valks = lame anti-ground. Vikings + predators = fair anti-anti-air . banshees = perfect anti-ground. So the air-ground relationship for Terrans has just improved a lot, if you look carefully.

@ hadean: there are screenshots that show this.

 

Okay. I cant view them, and I cant get on the site, probably because it's completely gay.

I'll pay 200 minerals to anyone who will save all the pred pictures they can as well as the carrier, upload it to file shack and then pm it to me or post it here.


*EDIT* NOT FILE SHACK! I meant www.imageshack.us

 

What I am really anxious to know is how good will the pred be at "intercepting"attacks in its interceptor mode. If it is like "omgnowtfretreat12bc'scuzofonepred!!" I'll be using them ALOT with my Banshees.

 

Can you imagine it halting a shot from yamato-gun?! O_O

It would actually be a nice thing if predator could force you to use smaller units to atk than bigger stronger ships. Warp Rays already do that, but they can't be the only counter.

 

I was thinking that too, maybe it only intercepts big ass attacks like yamato gun or the scourges suicide ability (If scourges havent been scraped that is).

 

block all attacks? maybe only aerial attacks or ranged attacks

 

They probably mean that it can intercept things like nukes or scourge really well.

I mean if there was a unit that could block any air attack... that's a little strange.

Also, isn't this a pretty strange attempt at adapting a corsair?

 

Indeed... i will miss Wraiths- a perfect unit against everything (with the exception of Valiries )

I think people will use Vikings most of the time... :/

 

ASPECT OF ....BATTLECRUISER....PEW PEW PEW

 

Now that I released a pic of the new Predator which is replacing the Wraith, what do you guys think? I didnt see any special abilities for the Predator yet, I think there will most likely be something like cloak or some sort of special ability, but for now all it has is it's default Flurry attack. Speak your mind and let the world know where you stand on the issue!

 

Lol, someone voted: "What is StarCraft?"

I can't really know until it is confirmed if the pred has skills or not, but for now I want the pred as we already have Banshees so Preds and Banshees sounds like a nice 1,2 combo.
