Sorry, if this already has been discussed. Search function didn't show me anything at least.
So...
When does the deflector shield projected by a deflector shield generator collapse?
German version of stronghold assault reads after a deflector shield collapsed "weitere Treffer" (meaning "further hits") are hitting the units beyond. "weitere Treffer" thus would imply hits from further units or hits from further models of the same unit as long as this unit has the splitfire USR.
Would the German version read "verbleibende Treffer" (= "remaining hits") it would be clear, that all and any other shots, hit the units under the deflector shield.
First question: Is it "further hits" in the original english version or "remaining hits" or anything else?
So let's say a devastator unit with 4 lascannons shoots at a unit under the deflector shield:
Do all 4 shots hit the shield simultanously? As shooting from one unit is resolved simultanously.
Having a very good chance of literally vaporizing the shield but no chance at all to harm anything beyond the shield.
Or, assuming the first lascannon shot caused a glancing or penetrating hit, do the remaining 3 lascannon shots already hit the unit beyond?
(i hope i explained the problem acceptable, while discussing all the theory with a friend about shooting a deflector shield and stuff some shots really went up my head... ó,Ò )
Thx in advance for any help.
