Like in the thread name, Scouts tend to shoot at units that can't even shoot back to air, even when enemy air units are in a close proximity. Making it higher priority against air like Archons and Thors have would be really awesome.

Thank you for your attention!

For some time I thought this problem was solved, but it seems like it is not.

Scouts still have their weapons in the wrong order (they think their blasters are their primary weapons - they shoot colossi with that instead of missiles). Reversing the weapon order seemed to work in my experience. Other solution (only for the colossi) could be to exclude air targets from the blasters' target list. For some reason Blizz put the scout weapons on wrong (Wraiths and Goliaths do not have this problem).

I think there should something be done about the AI of short ranged air anti air units. Both phoenix and scouts tend to ignore air units, if they are behind ground units, even if the phoenix have no energy. I think this does not occur for corruptors, because unlike the phoenix, they do not even use their skill against ground units (or even if they do, they ignore them after using the skill).
So a solution would be to let those units attack air units, if those are in a certain range, even if there are ground units that are closer. As I have no experience with the editor I do not know, how this can be done, but I hope I have described it sufficiently accurate to understand.
I do not know, whether the priority has been fixed for scouts, but protoss anti air still patiently waits in front of ground units to get killed by vikings or simply ignore medivacs and ravens.

As you may have seen in my post in Future Game Changes (Desert Strike evolves to HotS), I have updated the original map to HotS including many bugfixes. By now, i have created a private test version of the map. On this map version I tried to improve unit AI. This also includes Scouts focussing air units first. Later on this may also me added for the phoenix.
i think the problem with the phoenix is, that it uses a weapon (vs ground only) to cast lift. Therefore it may not attack enemy flying units, while ground units are around. Even if energy is too low to cast.

Anyways, if anyone of you would like to test it out just PM me Smile
