Throwing Accuracy

Throwing Accuracy affects a soldier's ability to hit their target with a thrown object.

Starting Values

New recruits will always begin with a value between 50 and 80.

Maximum Caps

An X-COM soldier's Throwing Accuracy is capped at 120.

Improvement

Throwing Accuracy is increased by throwing objects. (How obtuse is that?) It can increase up to 6 points in a combat mission, depending on how many times you throw and how far you are from the cap of 120. For more info, see Experience.

Influencing Factors

Throwing Accuracy is also affected by other factors:

• +15% when kneeling.
• -10% per wound to the head or throwing arm.
• -25% x (max health-current health)/max health)

Throwing Distance

While not exactly Throwing Accuracy, this is as a good a place as any for this:

Throwing Distance roughly = 2.5 * Strength / Weight

So, Strength directly affects throwing distance.

The "2.5" appears to vary from ~ 2.1 to 3.3 and/or there is some other variable not yet understood.
