With Thunderbarges being topical, is now a good time to talk about Furies/Bat/Harpy chasing animations?

Like many units these fliers cannot consistently hit something they are chasing. To maximize performance you are looking for a stationary unit to attack else you risk outright losing on a counter engagement despite whatever the base stats of these units might indicate.

Because of these problems inherent to these types of units the Thunderbarge has to be immediately nerfed before launch despite "theoretical" counters existing. Almost certainly the fly speed and acceleration.

Can we use this opportunity to get functional animations to these units? Would anyone complain if a monster like the Bloodthirster could have attacked properly too?
