Aiming time works as a multiplier on the warmup time of a ranged [[weapon]], i.e. a ranged weapon with a warmup time of 1 second normally will have a warmup time of 0.5 seconds in the hands of a pawn with an Aiming Time stat of 50%. Note that the cooldown time of the weapon is unaffected. 

This stat also applies to [[psycast]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}}, the integrated weapons of [[grenadier armor|grenadier]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[phoenix armor]]s {{RoyaltyIcon}}, and a number of [[utility]] items including the [[orbital bombardment targeter]], [[orbital power beam targeter]], [[psychic shock lance]], [[psychic insanity lance]], [[tornado generator]], [[jump pack]] {{RoyaltyIcon}} and [[orbital mech cluster targeter]].{{RoyaltyIcon}}

== Factors ==
A pawn's aiming time has a base value of 100%, a minimum value of 1% and is affected by the following factors:
* [[Traits#Trigger-happy|Trigger-happy]]:  -50%
* [[Traits#Careful shooter|Careful shooter]]: +25%
* [[Ideoligion#Shooting specialist|Shooting specialist role]]{{IdeologyIcon}}: -50%
* [[Ideoligion#Shooting specialist|Shooting specialist's Marksman Command]]{{IdeologyIcon}}: -40%

== DPS table == 
The effect of the reduction in aiming time on the DPS of ranged [[weapons]] depends on each weapon's unique ratio of "Warmup time" and "Cooldown time". For example, a weapon with a long warmup and short cooldown will benefit more from a reduced aiming time than a weapon with a shorter warmup and/or a longer cooldown, all else being equal. 

The table below details the effect of the reduction in aiming time on the DPS for each pawn-usable, ranged [[weapon]]. Note that while single use weapons such as the [[doomsday rocket launcher]] do benefit from the decreased aiming time, their single-use nature makes comparing DPS in this way nonsensical and they are thus excluded.

Also note that this DPS only takes into account the Aiming Time of a pawn, and assumes all other factors are equal. For example, the 125% column will represent the decrease in DPS from the increased Aiming Time of [[Careful shooter]] trait, but will '''not''' reflect the effect of the increase in [[Shooting Accuracy]] that the trait also provides.
