K so, I still think Knight needs a second pass to make sure its shooting is working as expected. Had an issue with knights in https://zero-k.info/Battles/Detail/1720388 where I could see an imp move towards my knight within vision and bury itself while outside of the knight's shooting range. Cool -- just force-target the knight to shoot the ground. Right? Wrong. As the knight approached the knight, it just refused to even acknowledge the attack command. Meaning I had to run while the imp successfully crowd controlled me.

My theory is that even after the imp got within range, some very small amount of the ground was obscuring the path of the gun, while just enough to not obscure vision path. So there's a sliver of void where vision LoS and gun LoS don't play well together.

I think this theory is shown to be true here, where the knight is force targeting the ground on a spot that's within its own vision, but just sits still:

What behavior should we expect the knight to do here? My gut says that they should path towards their target exactly like they would against a unit.

Edit: the exact moment in the the game where I was unable to target the ground was at exactly 5:00. Was initially targeting the imp directly while it was uncloaked, then it cloaked and I targeted the ground. Interestingly the target point is slightly above the map!
