Default Re: Formulas for To Hit/Kill chances ?

Hello,
Maybe I'm not good for that but I can't find any To hit/kill formulas anywhere in the html doc or the paper manual. I vaguely recall having seen something for basic SP (or maybe it was SPWaW ?) but don't remember anything precisely !
Is this info available somewhere ?

BTW, I wonder how does the game can determine impact angles on AFV hits, as armor angle is not modelled in the vehicle data ?
1) You will not see any to hit/kill formulae, since these were to be kept secret as SSI proprietary information, as part of the deal where the code was haded over.

2) Armour angle is modelled for the horizontal angle-off of the firer to the target. That is based on the relative angular position of shooter and target. A strike at an acute angle on the side armour of a tank facing you can result in a greater effective thickness than a flat-on frontal strike for example.

Cheers
Andy
