Some combat mechanics are completely or partially 'hidden' (RoF, trait bonuses), other factors are external, like the weather/terrain (ini caps). I'm trying to mod some unit stats so I have compiled a fair amount of data to better understand what is happening.

If you want to know how the hit/miss percentages are determined, these are hardcoded and are the result of the absolute difference between the total attack and defense values, there are two sets, one for direct attacks and one for artillery/level bombers. So HA=20 vs. GD=18 combat would have the same miss/suppressed/kill chances as a SA=9 vs. GD=7 (both a 2 point difference).

These are based on the ratio between the Effective Attack and Effective Defense. These 'Effective' Attack/Defense values are simply the result of the game applying all relevant modifiers to the basic stats of the units.

Note that these chances are independant of Initiative (Ini), Strength (Str), Rate of Fire (RoF), etc.
Those values influence only when, and how many times you can try to make a 'dice roll' with these Miss/Suppress/Kill chances. Having a very high kill chance per attack (or shot/dice roll, whatever you want to call it) still means little if the strength or initiative are too low to make effective use of a high kill chance.

Disclaimer: may contain errors, after a while all numbers start to look alike and it's easy to miss one or two...

A-D = Attack minus Defense
Miss%, Supp% , Kill% are in percentages
