Talk:Chance to Hit (EU2012)
Archiving
I'm clearing this talk page off as it otherwise consisted of my (very messy, wall-o-text) "notes to self" about the range formulas. The old version can be found here. Just for quick reference, Hobbes had linked me to this this thread, which contains a lot of excellent information that should be incorporated into the wiki sooner or later. - Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 04:03, 17 January 2013 (EST)
Merge
So as I planned out over here, I've incorporated everything to do with attack, defence, and accuracy in general and plonked it into one page. So now I've gone and wiped the old defence article. I don't believe there's anything on that that isn't covered in this new one, but on the off-chance that anyone spots something of importance there, please go ahead and bring it over. - Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 01:37, 30 January 2013 (EST)
"When The Game Cheats..." section out of date, or inapplicable to EW?
Are we certain this applies to XCOM: Enemy Within? I'm fairly certain I've missed 90% shots, on normal, with four squaddies. PocketNerd 23:17, 28 December 2013 (EST)

- I do understand probability. (It's annoying to miss two 95% shots in a row, but considering it's a 1 in 400 chance and you take thousands of shots in XCOM, it does happen!) Still, the section says "if you have four soldiers or less in play... if you see 84% or above, the shot should always hit." That's demonstrably not true any more, at least not for EW. I'm thinking the section may need to be rewritten, although I'm not sure how to do so without just deleting a lot of information (and possibly looking like vandalism). Maybe, for now, just add a statement that the PA forum post is a year old, far antedating EW, and does not seem to apply to EW? (And can anybody verify whether it still applies to the current build of EU?) PocketNerd (talk) 11:56, 2 January 2014 (EST)
