Stack vs individual unit fire

[Mr Grumpy]

Without any actual evidence I have always felt that firing a stack combined has a greater effect than individual units, the downside is that you get less shots and hence less chance of a disruption shot.

You could also argue that firing individually to gain more offensive shots may result in you suffering more defensive shots, but defensive fire is controlled by the engine and hence the counter effect is always variable.

Once again the more you play the more results you see and the greater the "feel" you will get of what seems to work and what does not over multiple games.
