BluzMan Russian Federation4235 Posts October 07 2009 15:38 GMT #26 Okay, I've rerun the 1000 hp test for 13 cannons, the average hp ended up 469 with map revealers which is a good correlation to the one-cannon test, being a 53,1% chance. Now case definetely closed.

Leath Canada1724 Posts October 07 2009 20:31 GMT #27 There are factors at work that might influece: Presence of doodads (trees) Unit firing rate variation: Sometimes two units fight against each other will display different refresh rates for unknown reason. Like, tell two scvs to attack each other, even if the attacks are synchronized initially, they will start taking turn later on, because one scv is attacking faster than the other (yes, weird) Did you test to see if it is a building issue? Maybe because the building takes several matrices? Try a marine vs a marine with 8000 HP, doing 1 damage. =) Could you also test if cliff + tress adds up? Cuz Im pretty sure it does. Can you also test tress alone? Can you also test several tress stacked? Thanks ^^
