For some instances having a Banshee around as a mobile harasser can be very beneficial. But in a straight up fight against a Terran army? Marine DPS absolutely wrecks Banshees. Not to mention that the major fault with using them in direct combat is that Banshees have a tendency to over-kill targets. Ever use a few of them in combat as part of your ball? Since their shots are not instant damage, they stack up and waste a lot of shots. That being said they're effective for what they are, base-raiders, harassers and skirmishers. In a long TvT battle with entrenched Tank lines and Turrets, Banshees will have trouble breaking through. Turrets and Marines are just too cost-effective against them. BC's on the other hand are mobile-tanks, with high armour and HP making them much better suited to break tank-lines and stalemates. | ||

It's just how it is. In broodwar the battlecruiser and the carriers were not even similar IMO. They were pretty much always used in the late/end game. The thing is that SC2 is still very young and we haven't discovered how to use it properly yet. I think many has been thinking and been trying to use it ( toying with the thought ) but It's just not a viable thing "RIGHT NOW". Which means that the actual metagame atm the battlecruiser or the carriers haven't been put in action as of yet. | ||
