Accuracy formula: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:47, 25 April 2005

% Chance to Hit = a * b * c * d * e * f, where

a = % Accuracy Stat of soldier (e.g. 88 for Bob)
b = % Accuracy of weapon/shot (e.g. 30% for rifle snap shot)
c = Kneeling bonus (115% if kneeling, 100% if standing)
d = One-handed penalty (80% if firing rifle without a free hand, 100% /pistol, 100% /rifle with a free hand)
e = Wounds penalty (% Health remaining)
f = Critical wounds penalty (100% - (10% for each critical wound, up to 90%))

Close Range

The accuracy formula is NOT affected by distance - if you have a 100% chance to hit, you will hit, at any range - but 'missed' shots still have a chance to hit if their randomly distributed path takes them through the target tile. This is why burst shots are your best choice at close range - even if the calculated accuracy is bad, it's still hard to miss.
