2 This is due to a big shift in the metagame. 6 months ago banshees were extremely common. Banshee switches were perhaps about as common as raven switches now. Firing angle nerf was significant, but that didn't necessarily drop them from being super good to useless. 2 This is due to a big shift in the metagame. 6 months ago banshees were extremely common.

4 When bomber meta started taking over everybody just kind of went with it. A bomber switch is not strictly better than a banshee switch although usually safer and more difficult to counter with ground units. Depending on how many and what kind of defenses your opponent has and what type of army he has banshees and other gunships can still be deadly. 4 When bomber meta started taking over everybody just kind of went with it.

6 For instance, when enemy is massing rockos a suprise banshee swarm could ravage them very quickly. A banshee makes cost vs a swarm of rockos in approximately 30 seconds. A raven would need a few minutes for that due to the very low weight of rockos. Raiding naked mexes is also where banshees shine - ravens are quite impractically slow at that. 6 For instance, when enemy is massing rockos a suprise banshee swarm could ravage them very quickly.

8 Obviously there are also significant disadvantages to a gunship switch over a plane switch, but more science needs to be done. Gunships just haven't been played enough in 1v1s after the meta shifted. 8 Obviously there are also significant disadvantages to a gunship switch over a plane switch, but more science needs to be done.
