Height

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:
Standing Kneeling Unit Height Height ---- -------- -------- Silacoid 10 10 Celatid 12 12 Hovertank 12 12 Cyberdisc 15 15 Sectoid 16 12 Tank 16 16 Snakeman 18 18 Zombie 18 18 Ethereal 20 15 Floater 21 16 Muton 21 16 Chryssalid 21 16 Civilian 21 16 Soldier 22 14 Reaper 23 16 Sectopod 23 16
While all units have a seperate height when kneeling, only the solder can actually perform this action.
