    • This is limited by the refresh of the server.

      The server can react to a UltArmyState saying "hey, bro, you got shot on !", but asking from it to refresh every millisecond if there is something in range is beyond its ability. The current refresh is every 10 minutes if i'm not wrong.
      Running an online alliance is pretty much like running a small company, except you need to find other way than money to keep your employees productive. May they play or work, they are humans.

      bro whats your problem? Hit and run actually doesnt work too well on stationery ground targets but works extremely well against moving targets. So what is it you want?

      Yeah, I agree. If you sneak up on them, and shoot from a position where you are invisible before the attack, then you absolutely should get the first strike (and be able to scoot away before they can shoot back, if you're quick enough).

      But if you approach on their territory, or they have some radar or recon unit to detect your units as they approach, then they should get the first strike - because they see you coming and are ready to fire as soon as you come into their range.

    • I think it’s just really unfair, especially for inexperienced players.

      It’s stated in the wiki that combat refresh / ranged units’ reload time is 1 hour.
      Having ability to fire at enemy and avoid his fire (while being in its range), just because someone retreats in one minute, is kind of an exploit to me – it’s not how the mechanics is ‘supposed to’ work and I’m sure is confusing for many players.

      one hour except if they kill a whole stack; then the reload is only a minute

      and it certainly makes ranged combat a lot more interesting
