ISSUE EXPERIENCED
The area in which missed projectiles land is actually a square, instead of a circle. This is one of the reasons (if not the only reason, in case the other bugs related to this have all been fixed), that units with a chance to miss their projectiles are less accurate when missing shots than they should be, since, if the dispersion area was a circle instead, it would be a bit smaller on all edges.
When this gets fixed, missed shots will have a slightly higher chance to still hit their intended target, and the Dispersion value of units will better represent their actual Dispersion.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
- 100% of the time / matches I play (ALWAYS)
REPRODUCTION STEPS
- Give a unit the following stats:
- 0% Accuracy
- 0< tiles Dispersion (~0.2 should be enough for demonstration)
- very low Reload Time, so enough projectiles can be fired before they decay and the dispersion shape becomes invisible (0.01 seconds, for instance)
- 0 Frame Delay
- a Projectile that’s easy to see after hitting the ground (example: Javelin)
- no Secondary Projectiles, as they have their own accuracy values (you can use multiple projectiles if you want, but then only use Primary Projectiles, so they use the unit’s Accuracy and Dispersion)
- very high range, for testing purpose
- Set up a scenario where many of these newly set up units can attack something from a large distance
→ Result: Projectiles land in a square instead of a circle
EXPECTED RESULT
Projectiles land in a circle
