You have local widget that replaces that one?

That's because units such as DT:s and critters dont have under attack sound volumes (they do have the sounds table). But for all other unit's this is 1 anyway. The only thing looked up is the volume, not the actual sound, so I just hardcoded the volume. Keep it simple is always good.

Atlas seems to have problems to pick up/drop off units.
Kind of goes towards the target in some wobbly spirale. There was changes to its brakerate (in mod) maybe also engine change?
Even though it is lol modoption:
-rocket turtle never hits a target: maybe because it has vlaunch weapon with too short vertical flight stage.
-arti spider/turtle: imo OP, it is like walking popup gun. Less range but mobile and early game is too strong imo. The faster spiders (no ideas about names) are too fast.

In XTA, this does not seem to be the case. It's just the scouts who are too fast (and maybe slihouette and harpoon):
