Re: Balance Mod
*shrug*
Hard to say without actually having the code to look at. And I can't really say I know for sure. What I've seen is that the problem does not appear to exist in pure stock. The problem is apparant in the Balance Mod: missiles are far more likely to get through at 8x. The problem is even more apparant if you try to use SJ's 'leaky-PD' idea, PD cannons with 50ms fire rate and -90 or so to-hit modifier: at 8x all missiles get through, even if the system works perfectly at 1x.
The reason I think it's related to the to-hit modifier instead of firing rate, is that if you set the PD to-hit modifier to +50 or so, no missiles get through at 8x even with 50ms fire rate. So obviously 50ms 'works'( which means 500ms does too), but somehow, when the to-hit modifier goes too far into negative, the PD wont hit a thing in 8x even if it still hits in 1x.
Perhaps the hit/miss roll isn't done as often in 8x or some such, so if one miss is rolled it could apply to several shots.
