2 Not necessarily for every aspect of the game. Banshees for example suffer quite heavily in my opinion from the dominant Swift. Slower gunships are often escorted by Tridents or Rapiers for AA support, but the whole point of Banshees is to be fast and raidery. You either don't make them at all or you use them on their own without dragging slow AA gunships with them. Currently Banshees are a very risky investment because players will often have some Swifts anyway (there's very little reason to not have a few Swifts) potentially blindcountering those Banshees. Hawks on the other hand are much more softcountery due to their inability to near instantly catch the Banshees anywhere on the map. 2 Not necessarily for every aspect of the game.

4 The way I see it, there are a large number of situations in which the Swift is much better than the Hawk and a very small number of situations in which the Hawk is slightly preferrable. I think this imbalance has a bad effect on gunship unit variety ( specifically the Banshee) and it seems like it would be a good idea to either nerf the Swift or in some way improve the Hawk. 4 The way I see it, there are a large number of situations in which the Swift is much better than the Hawk and a very small number of situations in which the Hawk is slightly preferrable.
