Guys, don't pay so much attention to the simulation. It doesn't represent correctly what is happening. You can see sometimes how your orders change the animation, but mostly it's just moving dots; an entertainment, nothing more.
STs used to perform very weak. In the best case they were good assistants. In TE2018 though they seem to be buffed (and AMx positions nerfed), but anyway: don't believe to what you see during simulations. Believe in statistics, numbers don't lie... Argh, well ok, let's say they are more reliable.
