What is the Hit Alghoritm in PvP ?

[Zychov]

Hello. 

 

We know that there are a lot of variables influencing the hit probability in PvP those that I know of are:

Distance, Gun Range, Gun Max Cone, Gun RotateSpeed,  and Target Size.

However it thoesn't tell a lot without knowing the alghoritm. 

 

Dear NQ can you proivide us:

•  At least an approximate method of calculating the hit probability ?
• The way the size of the ship is calculated. I understand that it's the surface of the tharget projected from the attacker perspective but I still don't know if the alghoritm count: 
  • (A) The area in which the ship will fit? 
  • (B)  The exact area or the ship

 

 

A - the area in which the ship will fit? 

 

B - The exact area or the ship

At the start of this system it was C. A square which fits the cross section. Now it's B.

Thank you. This means that I Don't have to be afraid too much of adding visual ornaments like the antenas, right ?

yes, in fact it will be beneficial. with the way hit probability works now , when you hit a target, the algorithm picks a random part of your ship to fire a perfect shot at, so if you spread your cross section out you are less likely to be hit in important areas

thank you

Just want to bump the question:

Can we see an approximate method of calculating the hit probability ?

priority of hits is directed to the center of mass
