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. A shot can pass under a unit which floats above the ground, in much the same way.
The following table lists the heights of each unit. While all units have a seperate height when kneeling, only the solder can actually perform this action.
