It seems that the stats suggests them being better in Melee than Ranged Dps. Is this a bug or are they made for going in close range aswell?
Ive tried it letting them close in on the enemy while shooting and walking. They really do a decent amount of Dm against some Units with their Powerfists. But i think the description is still wrong. They definetly do more Ranged Dmg than Melee Dmg!

I expect the tooltip is correct, but their assault cannons do damage in a line, so they are capable of hitting multiple units in a single attack, making their dps seem higher.
Make no mistake, they are a ranged unit and use them as such. Their decent melee dps is just handy if you see an exposed vehicle and have no missiles to fire.

When you hover over the Unit with your Mouse ingame, it shows the Unit has higher Melee than Ranged DPS. It was abit misleading...
But your Explanation made sense. > @Auric said:
i do use them ranged normally. But its nice to have them going in and saving Line Units from dying against other low tier Units. They can definetly hold their own against Weirboys and Killteams in a Melee fight. Toegther with their stomping and Assaultcannon sound, it is a "sight to behold" when they slowly getting closer and beat the crap out of said Units hahaha
They are Termies afterall!!
