Forum:Will the Valkyrie make the grade for Campaign units, in Wings of Liberty?

From what I have seen being developed for StarCraft II; nothing but praise from me! I am hoping that certain classics will still make the grade for Campaign gameplay. If not, okay. I am glad about the Medic making the grade; some fights hinged on the very presence of a Medic or two; and a pair is always handy at the base, to remove parasites from SCVs, prevent lockdowns, etc. As long as they are tucked into bunkers, when not in use; no free broodlings for the Zerg on my watch!

Anyway, I am hoping that the Valkyrie will be retained for Campaign use. If not, perhaps they were only found among the UED Fleet, and were all lost; that makes perfect sense. If retained, they have come in handy, when up against multiple Protoss Carriers, and their swarms of Interceptors! Plus, Scourge attacks are minimized, with Valkyries around, too. Nothing worse than watching your battlecruisers wiped out, en route to where you need them!

Have playtesters considered suggesting an air-to-surface, anti-personnel option, against ground units, particularly marines? It may help prevent the following, horrifying scenario; the player's base is attacked by ground units, and all that is there for defense are Valkyries! Perhaps that idea was tried, already.

Therefore; will the Valkyrie eventually make the grade for Campaign use? Or is it considered too specialized, perhaps unbalanced?

IF I SET THIS ON THE WRONG PAGE, MY APOLOGIES.
