no, it cycles the marauders through, so a unit without cooldown gets into the bunker nearest the enemy; therefore, higher rate of fire.

That's actually insane. I know it's only over a one month period but even so has the game ever given such balanced results across all match ups? The biggest discrepancy is a +1.5%. Not bad considering at it's worse it's been over +20%
