Odds for hitting a sniper/scout unit
I recently played scenario 176 Trial by Fire and had a very difficult time killing the Green player's small units (snipers and scouts. I had often encountered this but since this scenario has so many small units it really made me wonder.
The hit odds would often be high yet it took several shots to cause a casualty.
When firing at a squad sized unit at hit odds of 50% about every other shot caused a casualty regardless of the current size of the squad.
When firing at a small unit (sniper/scout) at the same 50% odds it would often take 6-8 shots to score a single kill.
Are the displayed hit odds just inaccurate when firing at a small target or is there an additional calculation that the player does not see?
