Something like Mech or the like would be great so that it can stand up to a late game Protoss or Zerg army on equal footing. Well that's just the thing, bio shouldn't be able to stand up to late game armies, that's part of the reason why Mech is having problems. Why go with immobile and hard to defend Mech when you can just go bio and stim role the enemy? | ||

There is a reason that in real life all medical ships are painted white with large red crosses (like the Medic in BW), it's to identify them as medical support and therefore non-combatants. Additionally, granting this kind of flying extra damage is unncessary for Terran, they are great harassers already. This argument would be perfectly reasonable if only Protoss and Zerg would sign Geneva Conventions. Also Medivac transport armed forces so they are violating these conventions anyway and so they couldn't be marked with red cross/crescent/crystal/lion and sun (obsolete). BW Medics - techically - were also violating these terms because of flare ability and shouldn't be using red cross as well. Heh. | ||

If you landed all but two marines, you would start moving your medivac around trying to make sure it was facing the right direction, that your marines were sitting in the correct gunner slots as well as emphasising army positioning on the ground since I belive medivacs have like a 45 degrees healing angle... | ||

You can make the same argument for any big unit (I wish high templars can ride inside a carrier and throw psi storms off from the deck). It makes sense to have these things in the lore but it would create major balance issues. That would be the most epic thing ever!! I would love to have that in the LotV campaign, a carrier that shoots psi storms! :D | ||

That said, I agree with many of the points already made that the medivac shouldn't be changed, especially not to make it even more all purpose. It already flies, heals and drops. It really doesn't need an attack. | ||

What made BW fun because of the diversity in maps. Tired of same boring maps. | ||
