==The To-Hit-Equation==

This equation is used every single time someone fires a turret weapon in the game. The purpose of it is to determine the odds the turret has to hit its target. The value will always be between 0 and 1, or 0% and 100% if you will. The computer then generates a random number to see if a hit is scored or not.

<math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}\text{Chance to Hit} = {0.5^{\left({\left({\frac{\text{Transversal Speed}}{\text{Range to Target} \times \text{Turret Accuracy Score}} \times {\frac{40000m}{\text{Target Signature Radius}}}}\right)^{2} + \left({\frac{max(0, \text{Distance} - \text{Optimal Range})}{\text{Falloff}}}\right)^{2}}\right)}}</math>

...where:

* Transversal speed = Movement up/down/left/right relative to an object, but not towards or away from it (that thing is called radial speed). Measured in meters per second.

* Distance = The range to the target. Measured in meters.

* Turret ~~tracking~~ = Found on the attributes tab of a turret~~. Measured in radians per second (1 rad ≈ 57°, 360° ≈ 6.28 rad)~~

* Turret accuracy score = Found on the attributes tab of a turret.

* Turret signature resolution = Higher values make it harder to hit small signature radii, it can be thought of as accuracy but it isn't entirely correct. Measured in meters.

* Target signature radius = The size of the target, or more precisely the radius of an imagined circle that represents the target's sensor footprint. Measured in meters.

* max(0, ''x'') = a math function that takes the highest value of zero or ''x''. It is used to prevent negative values in this case; any negative numbers are replaced with zero instead.
