EPTThe main reason I ask is because if there IS overkill, you have to think carefully about the size of your control groups so that when the battle starts and you start focusing down your opponent's army you don't end up wasting alot of shots. If there is NO overkill then having a huge control group isnt a problem as your shots won't be wasted.

Why can't they communicate well enough to successfully focus-fire without wasting shots? Because a strange type of radiation blocks small-scale communication. That's the Lore explanation, anyways. | ||

But is there any unit besides the marine, siege tank, and thor, that doesn't use a projectile? | ||

Immortal is the only other one I can think of. ^ Oh yeah Ghosts and PFs... pretty much forgot both of those existed :O | ||
