DTs are more badass, but I still feel that cloaked banshees are more deadly and easier to transition out of.

I do understand both arguments, but just pure statistics it is way easier to transition out of Banshees without being way behind.

Every time any Protoss goes DT's and does no damage you are pretty far behind. Banshees you are also behind, I realize that, but you are not really far behind, you just teched a little faster then normal and spent little more money on 2 Banshees/cloak. It isn't near as much of a investment as DT's are.

The fact that Banhsees are ranged and flying is a huge bonus too. Pretty easy to get them away without loosing them.

I think your pros and cons aren't very fair. You only list the good things about the DT, while you list several of the bad things about the banshee. Why would you list Startport+Tech Lab as something bad, when it's way more handicapping to tech to Dark Srhine?

If you're rushing for them for harass etc , banshee's are better I guess.

But if you ask which one would i prefer as a part of my army composition late game , dt no doubt.

dts man its so easy just build 5 cannoons and have a few units back and you hold off a banshee
dts fucking unstoppable, sure you could leave back 1 marine per 6 dts and kill them all but, man, thats just too much effort.

dt > banshee

Its hard call, because both have own tech path which doesnt go with general builds.

All you have to do is watch GSL and see how many more games of PvT that we see DTs used instead of Banshee. DT > Banshee in all but very, very early game situations, 'cause DT takes longer to tech to and are easy to defend on 1 base (but hard on many).

2 banshees should be able to morph into a battlecruiser.

Banshees early game, DT's late game. DT's are worth 100 times more than banshees late game without a doubt.

I predict 33% (Terran) vote for dts and 67% (Zerg and Protoss) vote for banshees

banshees are basically flying DT, banshees harass is very powerful and if u micro well u can win a game with 1 banshee only.
U can't micro DT and the poll seems biased against DT.

It's not really fair to compare these units though. They both have strengths and weaknesses.

DTs may be worse at the start but that's not really their strength in my opinion. Late game when you have the mass production and warp-in let's you control the map and defend pretty well.

On the other hand, banshees are an air unit with range and can also just mix with the army well.

DTs have a simple transition into zealot templar which is a really strong combination against bio terran and small mech balls and can punish a terran in econ at every turn(mule, scv death and or losing mining time) espcially on big maps

On small maps banishees shine more imo because of they cant be warped in and can start doing damage faster it forces ether cannons or observer
