Talk:Heavy Gunner/@comment-24114810-20131031151829

Me and a friend decided to try to find out if the machine gun improvement (+10/20/30/40/50% rate of fire) and the Infantry training mod stacks or not.

I stacked 4 wall pieces in a remote corner of my base. He attacked it with 2 level 11 elite gatling trucks. I attacked the gatling trucks with a level 11 elite heavy gunner with the 40% improved machine gun (only, not other mods to distort the comparison). Then we repeated the measurement with a heavy gunner with 30% infantry training AND the 40% improved machine gun.

The expectation here is that the trooper with both mods should destroy the gatlings significantly faster than the trooper with a single mod if the mods stack. We measured the time it took for the heavy gunner to destroy both gatling trucks. Then ran the entire test one more time and didn't get any noticable difference from the first run.

Our, rather dissapointing, conclusion is that infantry training and improved machine gun do not stack. The infantry training heavy gunner (which also had the machine gun) killed both gatlings slower than machinge gun heavy gunner killed both. It seems like the machine gun mod was "overridden" by the infantry training mod.
