Re: Possible errors calculating close-proximity aim bonuses
I played another mission today where this happened with one of my shotgun assaults. Here are images of two Sectoids I've flanked, one on either side of my assault; this really clearly illustrates what I was reporting. The Sectoid in this first picture, my assault is adjacent to. Note how only the so...

Re: Aliens hitting me frequently through full cover
This is correct. The graze band is two-sided, so with it set at 10% (the default setting) a nominally 50% hit shot will have 40% to hit, 20% to graze, and 40% to miss. Gotcha. I did not know whether "10%" meant "override 10% of hits and override 10% of misses" or if it meant &qu...

Re: Aliens hitting me frequently through full cover
It would be helpful if you guys collected impartial data on this [...] Yup, yup. That's why I say "Confirmation bias," and why it'd be such a killer to truly figure out if it's a bug. Can you really imagine asking players to mark shot percentages for every ADVENT or alien attack? To get s...

Re: Aliens hitting me frequently through full cover
I think we're trying to figure out if "A lot of people having suspiciously 'bad luck'" in fact means more than "A lot of people having suspiciously 'bad luck.'" Certainly yes, ADVENT will take a lot more bad shots and therefore land more hits (than someone taking less shots, peri...

Re: Aliens hitting me frequently through full cover
I've noticed a disconcerting amount of the same - disoriented enemies (sometimes with red fog) hitting - and sometimes critting - and most certainly not grazing - their shots at XCOM through full cover, fairly consistently. But I'll qualify this and say that I'm only a couple months into my 1.3 camp...

Possible errors calculating close-proximity aim bonuses
I noticed this in passing on a mission the other day. I will say up front, I haven't gotten a chance to further investigate and I don't have a save to provide at the moment, but I wanted to throw this out here anyhow to see if anyone else has noticed this. I was playing a destroy-relay mission the o...
