Shellers not firing

Has anyone seen instances of shellers failing to fire? I find that it's pretty hit and miss. Sometimes even when they're in-range on a move command and have radar coverage they still won't fire. It's not tracking, their turret just sits in the default position.

An example of this is at 21:50:



Unfortunately I don't have a reproducible scenario, but I can state it has happened multiple times. I actually stopped using them for a while because of this, but they're too powerful to ignore. Still, it can cost you armies.

I can also back this. there are multiple instances of my shellers refusing to fire, many times costing me the battle. (though not neccecarily the war.)

i will further point out that pelters and shellers can't seem to function at all on ultra-small planets.

Yeah I feel this is an issue as well.

I find that often where I think Pelters aren't working on tiny planets, it's actually that the range circle is simply wrong and their actual range is shorter.

that seems like it can also be a problem. the range circle should account for the planet's dimensions.

Someone from Uber did write a post a while back about why range circles were never 100% accurate and the difficulties in fixing that.

at least they acknowledge that they know about it.

I don't think I've ever seen Shellers use their full range.

There's actually a bug based around that as well since it screws up their attack orders.
