But people do this all the time. It's a great tactic against a unit that can't move and fire. A great way to keep them from getting on the pad. You can hold off a whole bike rush with a single War dog!
It's the essence of micro in this game - so I don't know what to say other then from a realism point of view it doesn't make ANY sense, of course. The reality of it is that jaunting back and forth in war while an enemy was firing on you would be a death sentence.
So, I take it back - perhaps I would agree that if a unit plants and begins firing - while another unit is walking across it's field of fire - it should probably take additional damage. Maybe enough to make microing like that a bigger gamble. In other words - every unit is a tiny bit like the tick tank, in this way. Would make retreating units more vulnerable too - which would be realistic.
My agreement with part of this not withstanding... it's a game about skill, not RL, and I'm not even sure I'd want my own suggestion! LOL.
