Can machine gun fire over wall?

Can machine gun fire over wall? I guess it can't. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[Magnifico]

They cannot. Which means that once they run out of nearby defenders, more often than not your gatling/machine gunners will find a piece of wall to plink away at long after the rest of the battle has moved on to the other side of the map.

It can not shoot over the walls. They are like Rambos. Heroes. Goes anywhere they want alone and trying to break Lvl 10 wall with their mashine guns. It's like to watch Arnold's one of the moovies. Lol.

one of the most dumb unit ever

Also one of the best to slow down incoming heavy tanks and take down generals.

but pointless on anything else

Huh? No way! I use my x8 Heavy Gattlers all the time for totally mowing down defenders! They just cream them lol. Im about to get tanks so gats will be good to use with them, theyre also great at protecting the mobile cannons and the medics. The only thing I get pissed at is when they start firing at walls, but the rally button is always there I guess.

32 shooters do it better, or just use only 1-2 gattlers for the effect.

We already have units that do that Equal - they're called planes or, if you don't have planes yet, archers/shooters!

Riflemen take up less troop space AND can shoot over walls. Gats may slow down incoming defenders but shooters actually ... you know ... kill them!!

FYI, Gats have twice the HP & DP of riflemen but use four times the space - and use oil instead of the easier-to-get food.
40 riflemen with range 4 = 6500 DP
10 Gats with range 3 = 3860 DP
(as per my German IA nation without Versailles)

Food for thought.

Gattlers kill defenders too and tend to stay in one place. Hords of riflemen always split up

And when my TB is running and i lost all the planes i am using few extra gunners. ;-)

Diff'rent strokes !!

[IzEagle]

Is there any unit in the factory that really worth its price and unit capacity??

 

[Ravenlord]

Hehehe - ya gotta laugh though. Pity you can't go back & watch it again!!

HTs with splash damage - but I'm really looking forward to trying bazookas.
