To many variables as well happen more if both have air less if yours the only one around. Troops more at range & close up due to jerk reaction.

I'd say experience, country really doesn't matter.
As I understand "experience" is the primary rating of how well trained the troops are, that's why special forces/ranger/guards type units generally get a bonus to their experience and morale in the formations tab.
True, it ALSO represents the "been there, done that" of actual combat experience, but the "national baseline" represents training.
And of course less well trained troops WILL make more mistakes.

On a side note...
In my USMC OOB revision I added a bonus to the experience rating of the aircraft so they average around 85 rather then 80.
Makes a HUGE difference in the number of "friendly fire" incidents. I can actually reliably call in airstrikes using the "real" Marine Corps doctrine - "1 yard per pound" and not blow myself off the map most of the time. Still get friendly fire, but probably less then half as often.
