''Angular'' is [[Angular Velocity|angular velocity]] (movement between the attacker and the target expressed as an angle in radians per second).

''Angular'' is the [[Angular Velocity|angular velocity]] (movement between the attacker and the target expressed as an angle in radians per second).

''Tracking'' is the ~~turrets~~ tracking value (listed on the info window and means how well the turret can hit a moving target

''Tracking'' is the turret's tracking value (listed on the info window and means how well the turret can hit a moving target).

''Signature'' is target signature radius (aka target size, a big target is easier to track)

''Signature'' is the target signature radius (aka target size, a big target is easier to track).

''Distance'' is the range in meters

''Distance'' is the range in meters.

''Optimal'' is optimal range of turret

''Optimal'' is the optimal range of the turret.

''Falloff'' is falloff range of turret

''Falloff'' is the falloff range of the turret.

The hit chance equation has the form of ''x''(''a''+''b''), which can also be written as ''xaxb''. In this case, x = 0.5, a = all tracking terms and b = all range terms. In other words, the hit chance equation can be thought of as having two separate parts (tracking and range), which are calculated individually and then multiplied at the end to get the final hit chance. This means that tracking and range don't interfere with one another, they are indeed two separate things.

 The hit chance equation has the form of ''x''<sup>(''a''+''b'')</sup>, which can also be written as ''x<sup>a</sup>x<sup>b</sup>''. In this case, x = 0.5, a = all tracking terms and b = all range terms. In other words, the hit chance equation can be thought of as having two separate parts (tracking and range), which are calculated individually and then multiplied at the end to get the final hit chance.
