Charging toward each other in attack-move, the Riptide and Wagner stop at their own firing range and achieve mutually assured destruction, however, if the Riptide continues to close range, all the way to ramming (literally bumping the other unit into moving), and the Wagner, staying staionary, has its guns already turned by the time the Riptide can be fired on, the Wagner will survive with minimal health left. If strafing is used, however, the Riptide will outdo the Wagner if it can dodge even one shell.
