That would require all units to have any aim time at all. Sometimes I think that some tanks like panther g or pershing have 0 aim time

As in they shoot too fast or not at all?

If not at all, then I agree it feels that way sometimes.

agreed with hold fire. but why delete attack move?

I don't want it deleted just because.

But if it's hard to incorporate another button to make hold fire, then I wouldn't miss it.

I don't think you can change the aim times based on ranges. The initial aim time for units is called ready_aim_time (call it RAT) and the 'reload mechanic' for aim times is called fire_aim_time (call it FAT). All units use RAT for when they are 'tracking' onto the target. If that timer is set to 0, they fire immediately. If not, it will take however long it says the min-max value is set there. RAT is not tied to the range brackets of weapons; only the FAT is. You can think of FAT as an added reload functionality to weapons. So if a weapon has 0 cooldown and 0 reload on when it needs to fire again after it has passed the initial aim check; it still has to wait for however long the seconds is set on the FAT.

Short Version: I am 99% sure Initial aim times cannot be tied to ranges.

you're 1% insecure, that's bad
