I was thinking,"Hunter Seeker Missile won't hit Mutalisks because they can just fly away.""
Then it occured to me,"You can fly your Nighthawks to point blank range and detonate a Hunter Seeker Missile into their stack of Mutalisks."
If you start thinking of the strategies to spread your muta when a Nighthawk is going Tassadar on you, it sounds like it could be fun. Then you'll have people who chase away your Mutalisk without actually having enough energy for HSM. You may try to kill a Nighthawk with two or three mutalisks, but then they can bring in reinforcements. This micro war could get good. |

It is true, if you can get close enough with the Raven (previously known as the Nighthawk), the Hunter Seeker Missile(HSM) is likely to do some major damage. Nonetheless, a Zerg opponent should have an ample amount of time to react to it, and the HSM has a slight delay launch when it comes out from the Raven. Additionally, there will be a visual that will show exactly which unit is being targeted by the HSM, allowing the possibility of more micro by the Zerg player to limit the damage taken. |

Nighthawk > Raven
A 'Nighthawk' implies more of a fighter class ship. |

yup i had seen that, but i thought maybe karune was just used to the old name and didn't notice, which is why i wanted him to confirm it.
Well since you guys are so intently asking :) Yes, the Nullifier is known as the Disruptor now. Didn't want to bombard you guys with too many name changes at a time. There is still possibility of name changes moving forward as well. |
