    It kind of makes sense because they're the only race to use real ordinance, Protoss get laser, plasma stuff... don't exaclty know what Zerg shoot out.

    Zerg projectiles are generally posionous or extremely acidic while haveing some ability to penetrate minor armor.

    Yea, and I beleive the Hyrdalisks don't spit but launch those spines from their carapace with that acidic chemical or whatever for the propellent/damage.

    "Calling down thunder" is generally a reference to ghosts nuking something.

    the terran have a land and air vehicles that that can do AoE, now you just need an infantry that can splash and the circle is complete. But based on based experience with bats in sc1, i think they need to add more armor. And something cool like grenades

    hmm this aoe bombardment makes them more unique than the other two races. this makes the use of terran EXCITING and makes terran an ANTI-MACRO ZERG

    love the new change btw

    Yes, Terran have always been about ranged power and adaptability. I honestly think its not excessive because so far it seems these AoE units are pretty balanced. These types of attacks are almost ineffective against spread out and single units and very vunerable to close range attcks as well.

    Thats exactly why they need the firebat, to be able to counter zealots and mass melee from zerg like ultralisks + zerglings or something new they'll get.

    Please tell me how the hell do firebats counter Ultralisks. Anyway AOE bombardment works under swarm the splash damage still applies under swarm and plasma torpedoes are an ability so it will work to.
