Lots of units, such as ships or Cybran/UEF engineers, have part of their hitboxes below ground level to enable torpedo weapons to damage them when on water. Prior to this PR however, the hitboxes of many units were not submerged deep enough into the water, which caused torpedoes to not be able to hit them reliably. This was the case for almost 30 units, most notably the Cooper, but also all movable and immovable Sonars. @@ -72,14 +72,15 @@ In general the Fatboy has been in an awkward position for a while now.

Heightmaps can be noisy, and therefore there can be thousands of tiny (the size of a wall) areas scattered across the map.
