    Your english is great. I understood everything. But I think vikings in air mode are capable of sufficient anti-air support. The only problem with them is that they can't attack ground units, but if you have a bunch of siege tanks close by, that's not going to be a problem.

    Vikings can't attack ground units? You know they can change into a ground attacking mech, right?

    He just means that if you have them in air form, they cant attack ground. And i can see that as a problem too.....

    The Viking is fine trust me, attacks ground, can go anywhere on the map by its self, can fight air. What more can you ask for?!

    Although Terrans are lacking a basic all purpose air fighter, I bet they will bring the predator back and allow it to become like a wraith but tougher since the banshee has cloak. That way we have all areas covered:
    Banshee: ATG
    Viking (air mode) ATA
    Predator: ATG & ATA
    Battle Cruiser: Heavy Air Assault/Support

    And if you are complaining about GTA Terran has: Marines, Reapers, Ghost, Cobra & Thor.
    so basically all Terran units can attack air just like Sc1 excluding the Siege Tank and Banshee of course.

    And remember they said they have many units they are developing for all races so things may get brought back and things may get replaced.

    I'm faithful Blizzard will come thru.

    Ahhh finnally!!! someone else has discovered the downfall of the terran *clap clap* BUT one thing i must say to you, every race has a downfall or a very small defence for that crack but what would happen if we made some overpowered AA for the terran then what would happen??? well let me tell you we would have an unstopable force that would have a Absolute Defence (for noobs that means a defence that small portions of it can be sent off to make and attack) if you slowly examine the protoss and zerg as closely as you have examined the terran you will realise that they also have weaknesses in different genres i.e. the protoss MIGHT have a lack in anti infantantry and the zerg definately (according to sc1) will be very weak to siege.

    And yea, all races have their weakness, as everything has a weakness.

    Protoss: Plague+Anything=Rape2
    Zerg: Overpowerment+Reavers=Death
    Terran: AidsxMarines+Decent Stratagy=Ohsh*t

    Well, now that the Thor has been classified as a heavy GTA unit, I guess the problem is now fixed. right?
    I mean, we still have viking for ATA.

    Yep. The Thor is most likely AoE, which was the role that was missing, in Terran anti air. Too bad it's a slow ground unit. :p

    They still need something decent to attack faster air units unless the Thor fires continuous rounds of seeker missles at air units which would be nice. If not the Thor will be useful against Motherships and Carriers.

    Beware
    Bizz will porbably have the preditor or something similar to it come back, they probably axed it as a cover, instead of saing "oops we made a mistake making this lets try again" but rather that they would rework the entire thing read tons of hate mail and then add it in with a new name (maybe) and a similar role with a different look. /sarcasmoff

    really i think bliss is off in la la land and working on their godchild the zerg.

    ...edit: or maybe im wrong and they actually do care...what am i SAYING?!?!

    re-edit: im kinda in a bad mood right now lil sick and kinda tired.

    We don't really need to wory about GTA anymore, the thor has been dedicated air/heavy unit counter. Won't be as useful though, two goliaths can out micro a battle cruiser. A few mutalisks can just fly over the thor and round it. Mutalisks are like the fastest unit in the game.

    But I doubt it'll work like that. If they made the Thor a GTA unit, they likely would have increased its turn speed, otherwise it'll be rather useless. And what's a few mutalisks to 900 hp anyways?

    900? Mobile bases, like the battle cruiser, only has 500 hp lol. So, the thor has splash damage ground, anti heavy, anti air, and can do that in a few seconds, what is the weakness?

    Don't be so sure of that. Basic air units are tier 2 The Thor is tier 4 I believe so up until that point the Terrans will have to rely on Marines and Vikings

    Viking for the terrans are also tier3 at the starport. so most air that is tier2 reachable from protoss and zerg is going to be hard to keep out meaning the terrans are way more defence now just relaying on missle turrents, marines, and reapers, and i think still the cobra if its still in the game...

    Wow. I never thought that far ahead. Good point. No dedicated GTA.
