I hope to god they don't fix it because most likely all previous reps will be corrupt and they will inevitably fuck something else up, because they would most likely reduce the pre attack sequence of the sunken. Unless progamers find some serious game breaking usage of this, don't patch it imo. PS- It never ceases to amaze me how many bugs and exploits are still discovered pretty regularly in this game after 11 + years. Makes me wonder if when the game dies if there was some crazy strategies that were never even seen because some bugs were never discovered. Good observation. Fixing this bug/feature will seriously ruin all replays, as it is a fundamental mechanism used every time a unit attacks. | ||

There are only two priorities, combat units and non combat units (medics, buildings etc). This does not work with a marine (or other combat unit in range) that isn't attacking the sunken, as you claimed. At least one non combat unit needs to be in range, and no combat units in range (otherwise they will be acquired), and a combat unit attacking the sunken or something adjacent to it from outside its range. The sunken will strike it if the unit attacks during the pre-attack part you described. | ||

That can't be right cause look at the screenshots, there is one where a sunken is hitting a marine and a tank. edit- actually ![[image loading]](http://starcraft.hyunsookim.com/sunk%20tank.JPG) | ||

This requires more testing for maximum proxy-Hatch abuse. I mentioned it in the thread and I tested it, the proxy hatch thing does not work, as canons need to target fire something and there needs to be a noncombat building to attack then switch fire, not too viable. Only useful in the situations in OP, tank pushes + canon rushes. + Above post, friendly units doesnt work. SC is one fucked up game with all this weird stuff being found out 10 years after the game is out | ||

 Maybe this is how Jaedong survived that fast Cannon rush (can't remember the specific game)?  | ||
