Do people double stack sentry batteries?

Imbalanxd

<div class="IPBDescription">maybe even a triple stack somewhere in a map?</div>So the limit of 3 sentries per battery, and one battery per room, is to reduce the amount of raw damage sentries can do in a single location, I assume. Does anybody bypass this by building two batteries at the edge of two intersecting power node ranges? I haven't seen it done, but it sounds like it could be quite potent (though quite a good bile bomb target). Are there any triple intersections in the game at the moment that anyone knows about?

Could be solved by also having a minimum distance between batteries if it's a problem. I haven't seen it either.

I've seen people deploying on the double intersection of mineshaft, holding the area between crushing-cavern. Most intersections are closed off by tight corridors so not much opprotunity to deploy more than 1 battery, but this is completely open area.

sentry guns are really not that good in defense. mines are far better, and cheaper, and there's no area 'limit'.

certainly not good enough to justify the cost... i mean a phase gate + armory = 25 resources which is the same as a battery + 3 sentry. that phase gate + armory is almost unpenetrable.
