Really? Does Starcraft really need a unit with 400HP that does 90 damage a shot
(45 x 2 attacks like a zealot) at 7 range at a fairly decent firing rate? And thats at 0 upgrades!! Can someone give me a valid reason for ever building a tank ever again besides outranging a few cannons? I mean the tank in SIEGE MODE only does 60 damage and fires slower.

I might accept Thor if it was like the Mothership, but I truly believe Thor was one of Dustin's or Chris' "omg cool unit" that really really should be in single player only.

With how easy Thors die, their long build, and incredibly slow movement, they've never been a problem for me to take out. A ledge and/or choke lined with sieged tanks, however, is much harder to break.

The type of capital ship in SC1 was the best. They were good, but not this good. The behemoths of unstoppable units (Mothership + Thor), just don't seem to fit in an RTS like SC. More like WC. However, it has been done, and we'll see how it turns out. I am trying to remain confident that SC2 will at least not disappoint too much.

I think the best idea is to stop comparing it to SC:BW. Just pretend it's a brand new, original game. It's the most satisfying viewpoint... since it falls short in so many places if you scrutinize it enough.

(I don't like Thor either T_T).

Weren't they supposed to be able to do AA damage as well? How is that working out?

I think this should have been avoided but was done in order to beef up late-mid/late game terran armies. Developers should have found a different way to add strength, as a single powerhouse unit like the thor doesn't quite seem creative or offer as many strategical options.
