Ground Pounder Range Verification?

    Can we double check the minimum range for the ground pounder? I had some brutes attacking my bunker as can be seen on the following photo, but my GP was not attacking them. (They were also knocked back from the bunker by a mortar shot, so should have been in GP range) I am also posting a screen shot showing my GP's range. Thanks!

    It does look like it should attack them, but I've always found for most defenses, the red-shaded ranges seem to be a bit larger than the actual range.

    I agree with you Kelani, particularly with the ship. There is a minimum range with the ship that the red doesn't seem to denote either. The bunker as well also seems to have a minimum range..?

    For me, the bunkers actually seem to have a wider range than the targeting shows. Not sure about the distance though. I've seen things like this with the mortars, a lot. Troops walk into a trap I've laid near the outer limits of their range, and they just sit there.

    I've wondered if it's just imprecise, and ignores targeting for any buildings that are barely (-25%) covered by red.

    I'd propose increasing the tolerance that these weapons can fire upon, (ie. increase their range by a pixel or two) but keeping the designated red area the same.

    It certainly may improve problems like this
