Flag:	Primary
File(s):	Rules(md).ini
Values:	Strings: Normal text. (Limited to: Weapons)
Applicable to:	TechnoTypes

Specifies the main weapon of the TechnoType for which this flag is set.

The Primary weapon is always used when:

Force-firing at the ground
Attacking overlays (such as walls). Note that a unit whose Template:TTL weapon can attack walls, but Primary weapon can't, will not, in fact, be able to attack walls.
The unit's Template:TTL weapon's warhead's Template:TTL value for the Template:TTL type of the target matches that for the unit's Primary weapon.

Template:NeedTesting

Scanning the area for targets.

Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge introduced units with special-case methods for specifying weapons - the IFV, Prism Tank and Gattling Cannon use Template:TTL in place of Primary.
