This would encourage players to use these units as in real life: wait until your target is <100m and you can’t miss.

Are you sure that firing a PIAT is a sure hit at 1 HEX?i remember taking 4 shots at a panther moving at 7mph before a hit, at 1 hex away D:, but this was probably caused by the green kids firing it...

Hi iCamp,

No, I didn't mean to imply that you can't miss at 50m in the current game.

I did a quick test, 10 Tigers, 10 AT teams. A stationary unsupressed PIAT AT team, has about a 1 in 3 chance of hitting a Tiger moving at 11mph at 100yd range.

Over 50 to 60% for the second shot.
Just over 90% for the third shot.

I think the hit probability of the first shot is too low, and last is too high; with the second shot about right. But it's silly to split hairs.

I think the PIAT accuracy is probably about right; it'd be nice to have a better first shot percentage. But think the Panzershreck and Bazooka should not have a higher accuracy.
