Terran seems decent at anti air O_o. I mean, Vikings are really good at anti air. I have no idea what you mean when you say Terran suck at anti air. If anything, Protoss sucks at anti air.
...when I say Protoss, I mean against Mutralisks. They can't do crap against a good Mutra rush. Ground units do lousy damage, and the only thing they can rely on are Photon cannons, but that means Protoss won't be able to expand into other bases due to Mutralisks harassing them there. Void Rays are too high up on the tech tree, plus they do lousy damage against Mutralisks due to constantly having to reload their missile....thingy all of the time. Phoenixes (I think they're called Phoenixes) do jack damage unless with Overload, but if you happen to have not a lot of Phoenixes, Mutralisks can still rip you with shreds. Carriers are the only reliable counter, but again, they're too high up the tech tree.
Creep tumors are meh. They're just like the old Sunken Colonies, except they can't attack. Plus they waste the energy of your Queen (your queen could be spawning larva instead).
Zvz...yeah. Roaches and hydras will beat zerglings and mutralisks, sadly.
RIP Lurkers. Blizzard should not have gotten rid of them.
Vikings are alright. They're no Wraiths, but they're cool. It's 10 +4 on Armoured and it shoots two missiles at once. Can't exactly recall which Air Units are Armoured, but most attack units are I believe. Mutas are probably Light or Biological though, and Phoenixes are Light too I believe. Turrets are useful. 7 + 7 on Armoured, shoots two missiles at Fast speed.
Otherwise, Raven's Missiles are very far up the tree and take half their Energy so not a very viable way to take out Air though it should be useful against Carriers since they're so damn slow. They're not very sturdy either; however, their defense probe is very useful for support in combat too.
I found a map with a good AI that completely shreds me. This is fun.
Also, I just wanted to say I fucking love the Terran music. It's awesome. I just downloaded the OST that was out and I'm just listening to those tracks as I play.
