    yes,because they start to hover right away,but they can only do anything else when the transformation is complete

    still one of the major weakness of the goliath in sc1 is it's clumsiness and it's lack of mobility, since as a ground based anti-air unit, it's mostly used to counter air, but the fact it's fighting air on the ground made it quite ineffective, especially against muta.

    statistically, goliath is cheaper and stronger than muta, but in practice a zerg player massing muta totally owns a terran player massing goliath, the flyers are able to use hit and run tatics while the goliaths gets trapped between ramps and narrow paths. even boxer at his height couldn't win using goliath against muta.

    mobility is a huge advantage, it's true that the few seconds of delay during transform in order to hit air is a weakness compared to the original goliath, but the ability to fly more than makes up for it.

    Viking is fine as is. People need to abandon idea of all-around units and stop chasing that elusive dream. Even SC1 units all have had built-in weaknesses for the most part. They're stressing balanced unit mix even more in SC2, what makes anyone think it would be any less important for units to have obvious weaknesses this time around?

    Really, the wraith is not needed. Not only will it be redundant, it will actually be worse than what Terran has now.

    I was always annoyed with the fact that a marine is more dangerous to ground units than a Wraith despite costing less anyway. Always wished to have a bomber. The Banshee (an attach helicopter) is good enough though

    you wouldn't need air to air missiles if you only want to harass, unless you want to kill overlords but by the time you get banshees, zerg will already have many overlords and killing one or two wouldn't make much difference

    yup yup. anyways back on topic

    Banshee is gonna pwn for harassment, a stealthed group of may by 5-7 can wipe all workers from an expansion or base in a matter of seconds, its a worthy progressor

    the viking is going to be a good air to air unit because it got good damage and is cheap, and good for base raiding in early game

    Might as well, there is really nothing else to say about it. The answer is a resounding no. Case closed.
