Yep, in fact it was a known effect on the macro scale as well, the first volley was sometimes saved up a bit with the knowledge that it would be the "best" one.

Actually that's a point as well as the extra +1 acc for doing this, I might be tempted to give some benefit in terms of Malf and degrading performance, maybe referencing the 5 shots rules in cleaning and maintenance
