      From what i know ALL units can only shoot KINDA in sync with game ticks.
      I mean that game engine can only wait whole amount of ticks between shots, no fractional amount of ticks possible.
      For example t1 PD (according to blueprint) shoots 3 times a second, 50 damage per shot
      with some easy calculations we get 3 * 50 = 150 DPS...
      If you look in unit DB now you will see that it sais 166 DPS. But it only was "fixed" in databasy relatively recently.
      The thing is that if you want to shoot 3 times per second you would need to shoot every 0.333333s

      and i honestly have no idea how this actually works but in my mind i imagine engine reading blueprint and calculating
      "i need to wait 0.33333 after that shot, okay waiting 0.3 seconds" and it does that after every shot
      afaik it is not rounding, fractional part of the number just get trown away, cause that what computers do.
      can check that if you look at a pillar, pillar is supposed to wait 1.25 second between every shot, but THATS ILLIGAL for engine and it just trows away numbers that are to small for him to comprehend, and pillar is shooting every 1.2 seconds

                Aeon TMD projectiles (those spheres that they shoot up) also divert mercy shots, however TMD will not launch it's sphere when it sees mercy shot so you need your opponent to launch missiles at you while also trying to mercy you 😄

                  Did you know, that you can spread attack with TML launchers if you shift-G before they finish launching?

                  Make sure to cancel after the first launch or they will fire again!

                    @valki you can put them on hold fire to queue up orders, then turn off hold fire so all loaded launchers will fire at once

                      Did you know spread attack also works on assist order?
                      nice for reducing pathfinding mess when upgrading support facs.

                        It's probably better to do a ground assist order. Engineers don't have to walk right up to the structure to assist it. And after you finish upgrading factories they will assist with unit construction.

                          @arma473 Unfortunately they will start to cycle between the factories with their assisting and when the distances are wrong you are presented with a huge pathfinding mess B(

                            Did you know... The missiles from TML buildings can collide with air units. I just found that out the hard way, one of the three missiles needed to get a kill hit an airscout on its way there...sigh...lol...i love this game 🙂
