All turrets have a figure for signature resolution in the Attributes tab of their show info window. Sig resolution indicates the size of target that the gun's designed to shoot, and represents, roughly speaking, the gun's ability to accurately aim at the target's sensor footprint. | All turrets have a figure for signature resolution in the Attributes tab of their show info window.

In the chance-to-hit calculation, the target's current sig radius is compared to the gun's sig resolution. It's not strictly accurate, but most of the time it's enough to say that when the target's sig radius is larger than the gun's sig resolution the chance to hit increases, and when the target's sig radius is smaller than the gun's sig resolution the chance to hit decreases. | In the chance-to-hit calculation, the target's current sig radius is compared to the gun's sig resolution.
