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 -- Celatid 12 -- Tank 12 -- Cyberdisc 15 -- Sectoid 16 12 Snakeman 18 -- Zombie 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.
