:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.
The Catapult Galleon’s sprite features a stone-throwing catapult. However, the catapult is not animated when a projectile is thrown, even though such an animation (u_shp_catapult_galleon_attack) exists in the game files.

With Genie Edtior, it can be seen that there are separate graphic IDs for idle and attack animations, but the latter is assigned the same sprite as the former.

Since an attack animation for the unit exists, it should also be used.
