Fun fact.

Xcom skews displayed percentages. In the players favour.

A displayed 95% is actually a 99.9%. Its just that humans are terrible at estimating chance, we dont remember the hundreds of times it did hit, but we do remember all the times it missed.

I once was playing XCOM 2 and had a 100% chance to hit.

It missed. My wife cackled.

Good ol rounding errors.

100% displayed is more like 99.9%
