What method did you use to account for differences between gun sig resolution vs target sig radius?

There's an RNG aspect to turrets. The to-hit chance is calculated via the mentioned formula, but the same random number used to determine whether a shot hits or not is also used to determine the amount of damage inflicted. So even with a 100% chance to hit, the damage dealt will vary between 0 and maximum. Similarly, if the to-hit chance is 50%, the damage dealt will vary from 0 to half max. With a 100% chance to hit, by the way, the turrets will do anywhere from 50% to 150% of their base damage, so on average do 100% the base damage.) You can read about this some more in the "The random damage distribution" section of EVE Uni's page, if you're interested. |

Damage was a % of Turret's size (400 signature for a BS size for example) vs target's signature radius (say, 40 for a frigate), so 10%.
Was easy (transversal vs tracking) and intuitive, if you knew the aproximate ship sizes.
Mind you, I still have a rough idea what will hit, just dislike how CCP removed the overview information that showed if you could achieve it.
Sneaky bastard.
Complaints Department is recruiting!
We got wardecced, ohnoes!
