Should the Wraith Return?

i really cant see how the predator would work. the missles it intercepts porbaly move fast like swarms of interceptors.. so it would be like teleportaiton trying to get to the lasers/missles/ whatever the zergs got now.

 

I'm sorry to burst your bubble buddy, but AdmiralAckbar is absolutely correct. Let me refer to wikipedia


Self-propelled torpedoes

From World War I onwards, the word torpedo was used only for self-propelled projectiles that travelled under or on water.

The first working prototype of the self-propelled torpedo we know today was created by a chance commission placed by Giovanni Luppis, an Austrian naval officer from Fiume (today Rijeka, Croatia), a port city of the Austrian Empire, on Robert Whitehead, an English engineer who was the manager of a Fiume factory.

Methods of propulsions have included:
1 Compressed air
2 Heated torpedoes
3 Wet-heater
4 Compressed oxygen
5 Steam
6 Wire driven
7 Flywheel
8 Electric propulsion
etc.

You should really double check your "know how" before you flame somebody...

 

they should introduce something thats new but still retains wraith's ability to cloak and are capable of engaging ground and air units, the kind of concept they have right now, a separate anti air and ground aircraft will cost the terran side many resources and supplies than a single all around unit. plus it reduces the effort to micromanage your forces

 

If it doesn't return, I hope it will be in the map editor, along with all other non-returning units from Starcraft. Could make some cool air battle maps to see which unit is the supreme air unit. (Obviously, units that have no defense against air would be left out, as they would just be annihilated.)

 

the first thing im gonna do is create a sc1 mod for sc2, so terrangod won't complain anymore

 

Blizzard has confirmed that scrapped Starcraft units will be in the SC2's Map Editor.

 

i hope they make another ship that can shoot air ground and can cloak. the one thing i loved about the wraith is that it can cloak and fuck with both ground and air targets. the banshee is cool but there is no cloakable ship to use agains a bunch of air units coming at ur base.

 

That sound's like a very powerful ship!!!

 

Yeah I liked the wraith but the laser sucked so bad. We need something that drops bombs. No pussy ass laser, no missile swarms, just a good large AOE damage at once bomb bomb.

 

I disliked the wraith. Too expensive, too many time to build it, too long to wait for the load of energy to cloak it, and too fragile against any enemy. Good bye wraith !

 

predators better be good...they do only 4 damage from what ive seen (maybe higher? i dunno)

but wraith does 20 damage ea which kills air units faster...

i like the wraith but it should come back in sc2 as only A-A fighter

 

How quickly does the Pred fire because damage is only part of the equation

 

Predators fire 4 shots at normal speed for a total of 16 damage altogether.

 

The Wrath's attack was 20 wasn't it

 

Yes, but the wraith's air attack is replaced by the viking air form. The two have the same role, as far as AA goes.

 

I thought the Predator and Banshee replaced the Wraith while the Viking replaced Valkyrie.

And I still think the Wraith gone is fine. The AA has been replaced, the Cloaked ground harassment has been handed to the Banshee.

Although I do miss the design of the Wraith...

 

yes its design was cool, but now we got a cheaper unit with slightly better AA attack, a very better Air to ground unit and its engines was placed on reapers lol

 

no, viking and banshee replaced wraith as the wraiths attack was effective vs heavy air and the viking gets a bonus for damage vs heavy air.
predator (im assuming) will be effective vs light air, therefore replacing the valkyrie.

 

Yeah the pred fits an almost "corsair" sort of role from what I've seen where their strength lies in their abilities not in their stats.

 

So basically, the wraith is no longer needed. That's the conclusion I came to.

Hadean, who is that girl in your avatar that keeps giving me the "I want you look?" My wife won't be happy if she finds out.
