Quote:If faced with a Mutalisk-heavy offensive, make Valkyries with reckless abandon. Valkyries kill Mutalisks faster than anything else out there; four Valkyries can EASILY put down thirty-six Mutalisks. Corsairs are only slightly less effective.
In theory this is true, however valks suffer from buggy projectiles. As the game goes on (when you would actually HAVE a valk to use...) the sprite limit is often filled and valks can't shoot (DOH!). Also their missiles have a tendancy to fly around and miss, unlike corsairs which hit instantly. When it comes to air to air combat the cheap, fast, high attack rate, low food cost, and splash damage corsair comes out on top. <_<
