Re: Odds for hitting a sniper/scout unit
What if you deactivate weapon #1 and use the T key? Will it show weapon2 prob? I know I could try it myself but I am eating ice cream with whipped cream at the moment.  |

Haha. Good one. My weakness are Oreo cookies. So, when you finish the ice cream please let us know what you found.

Re: Odds for hitting a sniper/scout unit
Did not change a thing. It just showed the same % no matter what weapon, so I cycled thru all my available targets till I found two Bavarian Creme filled Doughnuts with a 100% chance of being consumed. I'm afraid the crews failed their bail out %.

Haha. Now that's a good one. But, I stick with the oreos my man with an occasional frozen fruit bar.
Sometimes I'll try a crude calculation to get a fix on hit percentage by taking distance to target over range of weapon. It's very crude but that's all I got when the missile is not in slot #1.

Re: Odds for hitting a sniper/scout unit
Occasionally bad luck just happens and you feel jinxed. Like me once trying my map against AI and missing consecutively 6-8 90+% (the hit-% shown when firing) shots from tanks and ATGMs, getting my tanks destroyed by an approaching enemy horde I was unable to hit.
Really felt that day that I should buy a lottery ticket, just in case the inverse happens.

If you get a day like that again, save the game, exit, reboot your computer and restart the save

Re: Odds for hitting a sniper/scout unit
The best way I find to increase attack % vs a sniper is simply to get closer.
My best maneuver sniper drill technique (other than another sniper) translated into WINSP format is to suppress the sniper with supporting units (Z fire if needed) and move the nearest infantry closer using a move one hex/make one fire attack and then press the 'hide' key approach.
Smoking the sniper's frontage helps. Direct fire light mortars are quickest.
