Thread: Vehicles that can move and shoot

    OK, should I make a vid and post it in youtube?
    just get a bunch of siege tanks, command them to move (just right click the ground) instead of A-click, while they're among enemy units. They will attack while moving. of course, they do stop a second to attack, but they keep moving! (I tried this with patch 1.16.1)

    Yah. Move-and-attack is attacking while moving. Without needing to stop.

    should I add that they don't need to be issued the move command again? they keep moving so you can chase an SCV, unlike Goliaths or other similar units, which won't attack at all unless they completely stop moving.
    EDIT.
    analyzing it well, a single tank won't attack while moving since it doesn't do the little stop they do when they're grouped and need to wait for the other tank to move... however they still behave somewhat different compared to most units, so they seem to attack while moving. (as ArcherofAiur pointed, it's not a real attack while move.)

    I hope so.

    Moving while attacking just takes so much micro and strategy out of a game.

    It's not like tank mode of the siege tank had much micro depth to begin with.

    It doubles it. You can order a unit to move one place and attack another.

    ?

    I can make a unit attack one unit, and move to a different point anyway though, except it requires more micro to do so. Attacking while moving allows two button clicks to do what I already can do, except much easier (hence removing skill from the equation)

    I read somewhere that Carriers can no longer move while attacking interceptors will go back
