Aiming adjustment

[Fred558]

Hi there,

I only have one issue with this game, always had it but maybe now something can be done about it.

It happens every now and then when I want to take an aimed shot at the target, and I have like 76% chance to hit. That is a pretty good chance to hit, so I take the shot. What happens is that he misses, and that's not what bothers me. What bothers me is that he shoots my own guy who is standing in a 45 degree angle next to him.

It is an aimed shot. So at least let it be in the general direction of the target.

I was wondering if someone would be able to create a mod where when you do an aimed shot, the shot will at least be in the general direction of the target and not also possible to land somewhere in a 90 degree angle in front/side of your character.

Or maybe show me in the right direction to create this myself.

Thanks in advance.
Fred

Can't be as bad as the long war mod for xcom 2012, I had a 97% chance to hit with a sniper... Missed it. Shotgun, 3%. Critical hit, alien dead.... Just no.
Openxcom isn't much better! Could be worse tho... All my troops like to only miss their targets when a civilian is near by. Xcom hates civilians.

Hm, I thought the cone of fire when you miss was already affected by the accuracy of the shot...

Ivan, you really do describe the bizarreness of shooting in xcom.
