I've seen a few old discussion threads on this, experimented with it myself, and recieved word of mouth from patches past, but as far as I can tell these sources are either incorrect, unclear, or just plain outdated. Does anyone have solid info on how this mechanic works as of Trinity?
Thanks.

You would think so, but there's no mention of it.

Bump for great wisdom. Does nobody know or does nobody want to share?

Gartel: that's what I've heard too, that having 'excess' tracking, range, and signature increases your chances of better hits. So you want to be hitting a target going a lot more slowly than you can track, is below optimal, and is bigger than your sensor resolution. But I can't find anything hard out there.
Laura: I've heard that too, but even it's accurate, what about the other qualities of hits? Is there some distribution of hit types aside from just 3% for Wrecking?

Thank you very much Kazuo, you've been very helpful.
EDIT: The Scrapheap challenge thread is there, but the Wiki link you have is not currently responding.

As I mentioned above, the official guide talks about how your probability of hitting something is calculated but make no reference at all to the quality of those hits (i.e. wrecking, excellent, glancing, etc).

Hey Kazuo, the wiki you have linked above isn't working for me. How does your chance to hit with a turret get calculated? I know the basics of range, tracking, and signature radius, but I was wondering if there were any specific formulas available. For example, I know that, all other things being perfect, once you exceed your optimal range your chance to hit goes down to 50% at falloff and 0% at 2x falloff, but what about everywhere in between? I know that there are similar 0% cutoffs for tracking and sig, I just don't know what they are.
Thanks again.

Bumping again for Great Wisdom. Is anyone who knows the details of how the chance to hit with a turret willing to share here?

Hmm, still nothing for me. I'll have to try it from a different computer.
Thanks.

 Originally by: Cpt Branko
You can simply the tracking related part to this:
(angular_velocity*sig_res)/(tracking*sig_rad)
instead of transverse, range, etc.
Thanks Cpt. Is there a seperate signature radius component to the calculation in addition to what's listed here or is this the only place it's considered?
