what is this that keeps getting hashed over and over again? |

Something different in LSA from previous versions is how suppression affects accuracy.
here is a quote from Steve (at Matrix) explaining the difference: "Prior to LSA, base accuracy was generally quite high and almost every shot any soldier took was a hit of some sort. This was compensated for by jacking up the terrain protection values so that the terrain would protect the target from most hits unless the accuracy of the hit was high (what is called 'critical' or 'good' in the notes above). The main change in LSA (and on into future versions) is that aiming is now the main factor in accuracy. Troops that are suppressed (or worse) will tend not to aim (or lose their aim if they come under fire) resulting in low chance to hit beyond point blank range. This means that shots actually miss now, and terrain protection values can be dialed back to realistic levels since it no longer has to compensate for unrealistic accuracy ratings." And another of Steve's quotes: "The chance to hit is lower in LSA and subsequent titles since aiming and soldier skill are more important factors than the inherent weapon accuracy from weapons.txt." Steve" What versions of CC is steve refering to when he talks about prior to LSA? Is he talking about the classic CCs? Or is he also refering to TLD, WAR, COI? So, in LSA ... when a unit becomes suppressed, its accuracy is reduced. For LSA GJS 7.3 ... some changes were made to increase possibilities of first shot hits for Vehicle Guns and ATG's, since LSA original data, in my opinion, seemed unrealistically inaccurate. Although first shot "knock out" hits are rare, they are possible. If a first shot hit doesn't knock out the opposing unit, it's still important to get the first hit during vehicle vs. vehicle and vehicle vs. ATG battles because the crew being hit will be suppressed and their return fire will be less accurate. This type of suppression makes for some really interesting battles. Of course suppression also affects infantry in similar ways and cover also plays an important role in combat effectiveness. |
