Similarly, some opinions regarding balance and matchups in this guide are mine, so take them with a grain of salt. 16 While numbers that are cited in this guide are all accurate and techniques listed should be able to be performed by any given player, connection and other factors may make things more difficult or downright impossible under given circumstances.

64 To summarize: Magpie is a unit with a variety of uses, covering almost any situation you can be put in, but usually excels in anti-raider and com hunting, as well as target spot removal for heavy units in the late game. 64 To summarize: Magpie is a unit with a variety of uses, covering almost any situation you can be put in, but usually excels in anti-raider and com hunting, as well as target spot removal for heavy units in the late game.

The maximum angle the shot can spread out is 4.18 degrees. The mean is about 2.47, from testing. 72 converts to a deviation vector equal to 0.073.

74 Every round in a total "shot" is rolled separately, so shots will all have some various offset between exactly on target and 4.18 degrees out. The shots then reaim 2 seconds later after the volley, but there is no carried over randomness, so everything just resets and rerolls on the next go around. This means that being close to the target is essentially, or at least having enough Magpie for the randomness to be evened out is. 74 Every round in a total "shot" is rolled separately, so shots will all have some various offset between exactly on target and 4.18 degrees out.

116 In testing, strafe mode saw higher damage and an overall 2-5 to 4x sustained DPS improvement versus loopback. However, you have to fly inside Hacksaw (490), Gauss (560), Picket (610) and Stinger (620) ranges, so the improved DPS will cost some Magpies unless you can pass the DPS check. 116 In testing, strafe mode saw higher damage and an overall 2-5 to 4x sustained DPS improvement versus loopback.
