Mod request: synchronized firing command

I was wondering if it was possible to code a command that has units like artillary units time their attacks with each other so that when they fire there is no noticeable gap inbetween shots
for example if 2 t3 artillary platforms were to fire in synch.
when one fires and then is halfway done reloading the second fires which effectivelly decreases the gap between shots
the rate of impact would keep increasing as you add more artillary platforms up until something like 1 second between impacts allowing artillary to also be an effective area of denial weapons and not just base killers
sorry if i'm not being very clear about the concept|||darkova|||Hold Fire -> Wait until all artillery can fire again -> Return Fire
It's probably possible to automate this in a mod, but it would likely need to be a sim mod.|||Mithy|||Also wouldn't all artillery platforms need to have the same target at all times or they would just fall out of sync ?|||There are ways to solve all of those issues, but it's more work than it's worth. If you need all artillery to fire at once to crack shields, then pause them, wait, and unpause them. There's no other reason to sync weapon firing (in fact you don't want to in most cases), and this doesn't happen often enough in a reasonable game to justify making a mod for it, adding hotkeys, etc.|||liveordie|||Resin_Smoker
