btw looking at the stats the ghost seems more cost-effective than the marine except for it taking gas and it having no stim pack | ||

Does anyone know what the 'cool' times represent in terms of time ? ex. A Goliath with a cool of 22 attacks X times per second. | ||

if cooldown A is half of cooldown B, it attacks twice as much per time. i think cooldown numbering has to do with the timing cycles the animations use or someshit | ||

an SCV with a cool of 15 attacks 45x in 30 seconds - 1.5 atks / sec a Goliath with a cool of 22 attacks 32x in 30 seconds - 1.06 atks / sec a Tank with a cool of 30 attacks 20x in 30 seconds - 0.66 atks / sec a BC with a cool of 30 attacks 23x in 30 seconds - 0.76 atks / sec These results are inconsistent and obviously there is another variable besides cool which determines how fast a unit attacks. The cool does not begin until the absolute end of the attack animation and since attack animation times vary, so does the attack rate of a unit vary from cooldown to cooldown. Anyone know where to find a list of the length of every unit's attack animation ? | ||

It seems to me though, that with equal cool, tank attack animation is actually shorter than BC attack animation, yet BC shoots faster. Odd. | ||

has it ever actually helped you in the game? For example, has that knowledge ever turned tides of a battle to your favour? | ||

Anyone know where to find a list of the length of every unit's attack animation ? How could it be usefull to know the cooldowntime of certain unit? I mean do you have the cooltime in mind while playing? It may be interesting to know but does it help you with the game? | ||

e.g. a stimmed or a crackling hasve wicked cooldown. every little pussy shot he/it doesid will gain the +1 from an upgrade and also the -1 from an enemy upgrade armor. compare this to a dragoon. +2 every N seconds, and would you even want armor upgrade vs a dragoon? of course in actuality you want to know how many shots it takes to kill a unit and how the upgrade changes this, but the generael principles with cooldown apply as a more general approach to many situations, the exceptions being small and notable in their own right (small hp units mostly, like zergling, vs a high dmg liek a zealot). also, when talking about this, u have to know about which units dou ble attack as well. so anyways if u know a unit takes N hits to be killed by unit X, u know having N X's can kill one unit A in one volley. what u dont know is how often this volley (or salvo, if you prefer) occurs. cooldown tells u this and lets u compare. let's say a group of marines can kill a dragoon in two salvos, and the dragoons can kill a marine every single salvo. the cooldown tells u how fast this occurs so u can figure what will happen | ||
