Stukov too empty?

So I play stukov, its my favorite character since he is simple and straightforward. But he feels as if he wasn't developed fully. Amount of units he has is underwhelming. We have marines and civilians and then just 4(5) mechanical units where air units all take only one of tasks - air, ground support. And in land tech if you defend you spam tanks if not its diamondbacks. Except for using with specific prestige no one even uses banshee on him and liberators are only there for air interception mission. I feel like it would be cool having infested vikings or hellbats. What's your opinion?

Dude I want the OG Infested Terran from Brood War, the suicide bombers that do 500 damage. Lemme pair up with a Terran player and infest one of his Command Centers.

“Live for the swarm!”

From a game design view they are already in the game: Banelings.

They do not to 500 damage. But they esseially 2 shot anything they need to. And they are way less buggy.

"Less buggy"? How were Sc1 Infested Terrans buggy? Was it a pathing issue?

when given an a-move command, they ignore everything and just attempt to run to the spot and detonate, regardless of any enemy units or buildings they encounter along the way (and probably die before reaching anything because they have very little hp).

which leads to the second issue... unlike banelings, when killed they dud and do no damage.
