And it will do no damage if it hits nothing. Afaik, of course. You can never be sure if Blizzard changed anything lately. It all goes so fast. :s
So... does it mean that even if there are other potential foes nearby....the HSM only pursues the initially targeted unit?
It chases that single unit, so technically you could send that one unit running for the hills (good luck finding which unit is targeted, perhaps there should be some kind of indication?). It's also limited by the Nighthawk's energy and a 15 second timer.
Considering the HSM apparently hurts your own units as well as an enemies, if you knew what unit was targeted you could potentially return the HSM to its sender.
That's true LordKerwyn. But that also means that unit has a higher chance of getting killed. I don't know if it affects air units. The missile doesn't move very fast. Check the Battle Report 2. It shows it in action.
Making the HSM targetable would be great... imagine the Nighthawk launch a HSM which directly explodes on himself because you shot the missile directly when it went out ..... *** thinking about some fun strategies ***
I think the Nighthawk that got destroyed by its own HSM was standing way too close when firing it off. The HSM does a sprint when close enough, like a charging Zealot. I can't see how a unit can run under a HSM all the way to the opposite side of Terran units without already setting off the HSM charge and die half way there.
