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.

I assumed that it was what you mention in point 1. and I checked the ATGM unit seeing that the groove weapon 1 is the Malutka.
The unit is ATGM infantry of Eritrea year 1982? I don't remember the year well ...
