When firing upon a unit, there are two factors on top of "base-chance-to-hit", that determine whether a hit is successful. These are:
- The distance to the target
- The target's height
Not only is a small unit harder to hit, but a shot generally needs to be aimed lower or it will pass over the head of a short unit. For example, you can fire over the top of your tank and hit units on the other side.
The following table lists the heights of each unit:
Silacoid 10 Celatid 12 Tank 12 Cyberdisc 15 Sectoid 16 Snakeman 18 Zombie 18 Ethereal 20 Floater 21 Muton 21 Chryssalid 21 Civilian 21 Soldier 22 (or 14, when kneeling) Reaper 23 Sectopod 23
While all units have a seperate height when kneeling, only the solder can actually perform this action.
