Starcraft 2 Replays With Terran Airborne Vehicles

Starcraft 2 Replays With Terran Airborne Vehicles

By:


If the ground-based vehicles provide the Terran with bulk and muscle, the airborne units are undoubtedly the cavalry on the Starcraft II battlefield. Bursting onto the scene like a heavily armed wasp on steroids is the all new AH/G-24 Banshee. This potent air unit will buzz around the battlefield causing havoc at will. The Banshee is a heavily specialized anti-ground aircraft which means it is perfectly adapted for taking out enemy armor and structures although it's lack of anti-aircraft weaponry does leave it vulnerable to other flying units. Nevertheless, given its sheer speed and maneuverability not to mention a built-in cloaking device, the Banshee is one tricky customer.

If deployed correctly the banshee can make light work of all but the most well designed and air-protected bases. Even with anti-aircraft defense in place, the Banshee can easily take them out before devastating the buildings they protect, unless dealt with swiftly and effectively. Either Protoss Phoenixes or Zerg Corruptors combined with anti-aircraft ground units such as Stalkers and Hydralisks respectively, need to be enough to bring down a Banshee onslaught before it can decrease your beloved base to rubble.

The mighty Terran Battlecruiser returns from the initial installment to once again rain terror down from the skies and dominate the two the battlefield and also the air above it. As the capital ship of the feared Terran fleet, the Battlecruiser is actually a behemoth with the skies, heavily armored, heavily gunned, the mere sight of a Battlecruiser approaching is enough to have all but the most organized forces running scared. The Battlecruiser comes equipped not only with each ATA and ATS laser batteries allowing it to attack both air and ground units respectively, it also has a centrally mounted Yamato Cannon which can deliver actually punishing damage.

The Yamato Cannon is concealed inside the central head of the Battlcruiser which splits in half to reveal the Cannon prior to firing a shot which delivers a whopping 300 damage! The Battlecruiser's biggest weakness is most likely its speed, or lack of, giving opponents the chance to amass a heavily concentrated anti-aircraft strike force against it to hunt it down and take it out just before it can spearhead into the heart of enemy territory.

Inside the original Starcraft and Broodwar, the Terran forces were extremely exposed to threats from the air, with anti-aircraft weaponry being too slow and cumbersome to outfox enemy airborne threats. In response to this ,the versatile support craft the Viking was developed. Based heavily on the siege tank's transform capability, the Viking was designed to switch seamlessly and swiftly between an plane and a walker, enabling it to engage with both air and ground units in its respective forms and finest of all, giving it extreme mobility from the skies to counter other air-based threats. As an plane the Viking is equipped with lancer torpedoes which are extremely effective against other aircraft, especially slow moving vessels in a similar vein on the Terran Battlecruiser. As a walker, the Viking has twin Gatling cannons that are perhaps very best against light and medium armored units. Due to the Viking's dual mode, it might be utilized incredibly successfully for hit and runs and raiding, as it is possible to fly the Viking into contact with the target, deploy it for the ground, do the damage and then escape to safety prior to back up can arrive.
