If the target is within the weapon`s range the unit will fired at it. Even if a wall or buildings is in front of the unit.

> There was a smokeoffsetspeed or puffoffsetspeed tag for how often the trail appears. I remember there were two. One for regular flight and the other for damaged smoke. I looked at the general files but cant find the stupid tags. Unless I`m thinking of an art offset.

Any way then that the smokepuffs are shorter behind one an other?
