Question for you though. You mention that obviously you can't use this in game because the opponent will micro, and that probably effective use of this technique will result in around 2-3 volleys of uncontested attacking, which may be enough to give you the edge in the encounter. Does that satisfy you? Why not take a different tack entirely? Instead of looking for an absolutely PERFECT mathematical answer by making simplifying assumptions (in this case, no microing of the corruptors) which cause the practical application to be necessarily inexact, look for a PERFECT (or much closer to perfect!) practical result by refusing to make simplifying assumptions and actually get in there with a necessarily inexact multidisciplinary approach using psychology and game theory (to model micro choices) AND math (to generate the data on which to base the game theory)? The end result of this could possibly be something a pro-gamer would legitimately take on stage and use. I would do all of this but I am not smart enough. You seem to be really smart, though, so I was just mentioning it to see what you thought =D! | ||

Is the ratio of the angle 45,98/45 equal to the ratio of the movement speeds, or maybe when it's squared? | ||

Love stuff like this, cool find even if it isn't extremely useful in real games. | ||

So basically it's good to learn the proper distance a phoenix must keep against every specific unit (which, personally, is something I would do by game-sense alone... I mean: instead of calculate it, I'd rather guess it intuitively after some games) and then try to micro my phoenixes in order to avoid entering the attack range of the chasing unit - but instead of retreating and attack again like I'd do, rather escaping by 45 degrees left/right or the pursuing unit (possibly the opposite direction where infestors/thors are). Am I right or there's more that I have missed? If you have more mathematical insights about the game feel free to write more | ||

Perfect spine crawler placement, walling with buildings, how many hits it takes to kill each unit with each unit, etc., etc. Orek is like the king of SC2 scholastic knowledge (but to be honest, most of the time, players don't need to do that much research to play well). | ||

Should be doable though, rly nice. can expand the math on a phoenix that gets autofollowed by the rest of the phoenix x3 . Phoenix Flail for the win ! | ||

The reason simplifying assumptions are made is that the math gets prohibitively complicated as variables get added. Even constrained variables based on "correct" micro decisions from the opponent would be too complicated for a computer to run in the amount of time necessary for in game decision making, let alone a progamer (even the machine that is  INnoVation!) | ||
