3 One of its major problems is that it requires lots of airpads and micro just to make sure everything's getting refueled and repaired properly. Likhoses and phoenii can be similarly difficult to micro restocking when you have more than two, but that's usually a signal that I'm doing something very right or very wrong, but it's a useful signal nonetheless. 3 One of its major problems is that it requires lots of airpads and micro just to make sure everything's getting refueled and repaired properly.

5 Magpies on the other hand are just hellish to micro. As far as I know there isn't a hotkey to only select armed units, so it's very easy to over-select magpies and send unarmed ones to their useless deaths. Sure, maybe they should be used more sparingly and not monospammed, but I'm not sure what its strengths are there, except for maybe 1v1s? But in lobpot a lot of its usefulness can just be replaced with other planes with more effect. 5 Magpies on the other hand are just hellish to micro.

7 So a lot of the issues with magpies feel like general problems of air, but made worse by its overall lacklusterity. 7 So a lot of the issues with magpies feel like general problems of air, but made worse by its overall lacklusterity.
