Base Chance To Hit

Each weapon has an accuracy rating of its own, which, when applied to the soldier's firing accuracy, gives the soldier's "base chance to hit".

Formula:

Base Chance To Hit = Firing Accuracy x Weapon Accuracy

Example:

A soldier with a firing accuracy of 50%, using a weapon with an 
accuracy rating of 50%, will have a base chance to hit of 25%.

Influencing Factors

Base Chance To Hit is also affected by other factors:

• -20% when holding a two-handed weapon with one hand.
• -10% per wound to the head or gun arm.
• -25% x (max health-current health)/max health)
