Regarding weapon accuracy: In Warzone2100 physics, if a shot misses its intended target, is it possible for it to hit another unit or defensive structure? I'm talking about weapons that don't do splash damage, for example, rockets and bullets.
I was pondering a few issues like, for example, is it beneficial to build defensive structures in tight clusters.

Yes, but it doesn't happen very often. The situation doesn't really arise much.

Re: Stray shots
When a shot is missed, the direction of the miss is randomly determined and the distance from the target is determined by the amount of miss in the random "dice".
After that. the projectile is drawn into the world (in straight line for most projectiles). During that drawing part, it can be stoped by another object of higher height then the source. And that object can receive damage. But those situations are not so common as said bendib.
