Overcharge and shift+g

Postby BlackSheeple » 20 Feb 2015, 22:54

I tried overcharge and shift+g with the sera sACU. And it doesn't work. I guess that's intended. Or better shift+g is only intended for attack moves. But it would be nice if it were possible to (easily) split overcharges. Any thoughts?

I don't see why you would want to use this. Shift+G is used when you attack multiple units with multiple units, for "spread attack". What would it do for Overcharge? Randomly pick targets from an assigned group? With your ACU you want to specifically pick targets to overcharge: higher tech units, little groups that are bunched up, a point defense, the enemy ACU. To OC, the ACU has to turn in the right direction and while turning is not shooting, which in the heat of battle seems to take ages, so you pick targets that are roughly in the direction that your ACU is facing already. I would not want any process to decide for me what to OC.

As sheeple mentioned, it's for the Seraphim SCU. Having 5 SCUs with OC would be nice against Bricks or Percivals.
