I found something strange. Im trying to find better accuracy ratings for guns, but during my tests i found that Firecontrol rating do only a minor bonus to accuracy.During my tests i tryed gun with acc 20, rangefinder 30 and firecontrol 0. i had accuracy at 2000m (target size 4) 64%. When i rised FC at 20,it rised accuracy to 70%, FC 40 made up to 76%. So only +6% at 2000m with 20 point Fire Control.Isnt it too low?

Yep. Way too low. I also did tests modifying the FC and RF values, and was most disappointed with the results. It seems to make that always repeated motto "It's not only the accuracy value, it's the way the accuracy interacts with FC and RF that matters", or "it is more complicated than that" (just altering the accuracy values) incoherent. Since we don't have access to how each of those variables (ACC, FC, and RF) really interact with each other, or better, since nobody tells us what is the actual formula for defining the hit probability - seems it is classified information - all we can do is what we are doing now - making empirical tests on each variable.
Well, all this said and done, it seems to me that the FC should play a much more important role in the model. That is possible, either by changing the game's code and leaving the OOBS settings alone; or by raising the FC settings on the OOBS dramatically.
However, things being as they are right now, the main variable is the ACC (seems it doesn't have that name for nothing), and that is where all the tweaking should be done.
So, until the so expected patch is released, or until Andy and/or Don clarify how the game actually works as far as tank main gun hit probability is concerned and prove that the ACC interaction with FC and RF really have a significant effect, the best (and most direct and effective) way we have is simply to up the ACC values until we achieve something that is coherent with the actual performance of those guns.
Just my two cents...
