The targetting formula chooses closest applicable unit. The game's distance metric is near the manhattan metric. Thus, stuff down a gridline from you is 'real' distance away, while stuff off a direct gridline is farther than it seems it should be. So its not that the targetting formula makes a distinction, its that the distance metric is weird.
