I assumed that the accuracy stat that shows up under "combat profile" is the average of all of the weapons accuracy in the "weapons" section (ie including explosives, zipline, defib, etc.). But when I do the math this doesn't add up. How exactly is this number calculated?
Add up all you accuracy numbers for the weapons, then multiply by 0.534, subtract 3, and find the inverse of it.

For starters, the accuracy at the top is overall small-arms accuracy - c4 and stuff doesn't count.
Secondly, by averaging all the weapons' accuracies you're giving them each the same weight, when in fact you may have way more shots fired from assault rifles than, say, pistols.
For example, if you have:
Assault rifle: 500 shots hit, 1000 shots missed
Pistol: 50 shots hit, 10 shots missed.
Accuracy for assault rifle is 500/(500+1000) = 33%
Accuracy for pistol is 50/(50+10) = 80%
So if you average them, you get an overall accuracy of (33+80)/2 = 56.5%
But the real overall accuracy is (500+50)/(500+1000+50+10) = 35.2%
Make sense?

Are shots fired and shots hit in the feed? I don't think so.
So chuy has only the accuracy for every weapon class provided by EA.

Midgetspy, that was the best explination ever. I've never actually thought about that before, so thanks in advance in case I ever do.

Ali: AFAIK shots fired and shots hit are in the feed.

I revoke the prior and assert the contrary.

Don't worry.. I made the same mistake.
Thanks to everyone who responded. Yes this does make sense. I had thought about it working that way but I also didn't think that the details of shots fired were in the feed. I'm impressed that this level of detail exists in the game, pretty amazing.
Yeah. And quoteth the Nic. I *was* doing it wrong, averaging the averages at one point, but fixed it at his recommendation. Goooooo HS math!Ali wrote:
