That is not true. If it was then every single vehicle would have 0 accuracy. If every vehicle had 100% accuracy then each vehicle would turn into snipers one shotting squads.


The current system in COH 2 is a result of not having target tables. If a T-70 had 100% accuracy it would kill a model every 2 hits. To get around not having target tables COH2 uses a bootleg system in which you need enough accuracy to hit in the general area and then its about AOE/Scatter on the weapon.

This is why COH2 is extremely RNG based because in the slight chance that you do manage to land a direct hit via accuracy you will get a squad that gets completely one shotted with 0 counterplay involved especially if the units happened to be clumped up together.

I would prefer it if COH2 didn't have a lottery system in place and units did damage on a consistent basis based on the role of the unit.

Slightly off-topic on how accuracy generally works.
Show Spoiler

The sniper G43 of the JLI almost can't miss against units in cover. the 1.15 accuracy * 0.9 cover modifier still is above 1. Then they also get +40% accuracy at vet 3.
At this point, the only way to miss a shot is if the targeted squad has an RA lower than 0.69. So in virtually all engagements, cover or not: If the sniper G43 shoots, it hits. And if the target is below 70% health, it is dead.

Putting them into any transport would lower that and basically be a waste of their potential. Let alone the fact that it is difficult to acquire a transport as OKW in the first place.

When it's spelled out like this I no longer doubt my sanity as to why I feel like Overwatch is an ever-present cancer in team games.
