1) the accuracy number shown in the Targeting window is simply a "gunners guess" without any luck rolls etc incorporated.

2) The accuracy shown there is only for the slot 1 weapon. So if there is aa cannon in slot 1 and the TOW is further down the slot list, its not that useful (e.g. AH-1 Cobra say).

3) The reported hit percent you get when you actually fire has been processed through all the firing code, including all the random numbers for luck rolls, any dodging of ATGMs etc so is the final result and not a gunner's guesstimate.

Bottom line - the chance shown is a very rough guide as to which weapon slot 1 shots may have a better chance than others, is all.
