i have never heard a satisfactory answer to what shiled depleters do against units. with regards to troops, the best explination i have gotten to that (and also to the what effect does range have) is that the algorithims that calculate troop combat are "complicated"

honestly i think thats a bunch of poop, and the formula should be published. i have heard, though, that rate of fire for troops means nothing at all, and you might as well consider all weapons on troops to fire at the same rate.

of course, im too lazy to test any of this myself...

Perhaps it is time to petition MM. Who wants to send an email? The more the merrier!
