BF2S Forums How is accuracy calculated!??

bumb

Dunno for sure, but I thought it to be every shot that inflicts damage versus all other shots. Inflicting damage would than be damage to all moving enemy objects... But I haven't got allot to back that up... So if anybody got some proof, let's hear it.

math 101
simple accuracy calculation
(# of shots that hit a target / # of shots that you have fired) * 100

for those math geniuses out there who failed math class "/" means divided "*" means multiply and anything in the "()" you do first.

A target is anythin enemy (yes, even the broad side of that enemy barn over there)

Lets say i fire 10 shots
5 of those shots hit a target
5 / 10 = .5
.5 * 100 = 50%
50% accuracy

If you have passed basic math you should have been able to do the math yourself....no veteran math combat badge for you

kill to death ratio has not much to do with accuracy, I guess. If accuracy takes into account every shot fired versus any hits ( not kills, as you suggested ), there is no way to rate accuracy against kills, mainly because you don't know how many shots were fired in total to achieve those 127 kills.

as chuy did not say that ubernoob's explanation was wrong, I suppose he is correct in assuming that a "hit" occurs when you fire your weapon and either hit an enemy soldier or something that is manned by an enemy ( vehiclde, mounted stuff ); in other words, it's a hit when your crosshair indicates that by lighting up. You will notice that it lights up even if you fire your pistol at a tank, although the tank would not take damage from it.

accordingly, it should be expected that your AT accuracy is relatively high ( compared to overall arms acc ) because you rarely miss when firing at a tank. it's big....

Shots That Do Damage To Enemy/Enemy Vehicle
Vs.
Shots That Miss/Shots Against Friendly Vehicles/Shots Against Neutral Targets/Shots Against Friendlys

To increase your Accuracy on something that really sucks, Shoot enemy Vehicles with the Shotty... all 12 Shots will Connect.

Can anybody sift through the code and make a thorough check?
Is it:

While target can be anything, friendly / less friendly / neutral (as in a bridge or barrels)

"Total shots fired".

It’s a stupid detail, but if you want to be precise, it is a huge difference.

Thanks in advance…

From the number of times I've got yellow crosses and no kills whilst shooting at helicopters with PKMs, SMGs, Assault Rifles, etc, I'd say it's when you doing some damage to whatever you're hitting - person, vehicle, whatever - if it was just persons I'd be getting a hell of a lot more kills!

When you hit a vehilce you get a yellow cross-hair with 4 lines (Up, Down, Left, Right). When you hit SOMEONE in the vehicle you get a yellow cross-hair with I believe 8 lines(Up, Down, Left, Right, plus all of the diagonals in between). At least this has been my experience.

I was just looking at how the total accuracy is calculated and it appears to be really, really bad.

When I mouse over the Total Accuracy row (in the small arms fire) I see an average of my total shots divided by the average of my hits for each weapon.  It's been over 10 years since my college stats class but this seem like a VERY poor way to calculate this. 

Shouldn't it be total shots fired divided by total hits for the most accurate accuracy percentage?  To give you an idea I did a calculation on my and it was a difference between 11.xx% and 20.xx%.  That is HUGE.

Like I said, it's been a few years since my stats classes but this seem like a terrible way to calculate accuracy.

(btw, shooting at tanks and other vehicles, technically, does damage. It's just that it's so miniscule that all of your clips will only make less than a one bar scratch on it.)

Actually all handheld bullet weapons, shotguns, as well as mounted MGs do zero damage to tanks/APCs (damage modifier of 0 in materials file).  Shotguns also do zero damage to jeeps.  Otherwise, jeeps, helos, and jets get small but non-zero damage.

wow guys....way to overcomplicate it....

your accuracy is simply the percentage of shots fired that actually hit something.

if you fire 100 shots, but only 25 of them hit anything, your accuracy is 25%.

what is there to define?  a "hit" is when you see the "X" marks on your crosshairs, and "anything" in this context refers to items that, when you "hit" them, give you that pretty little "X" in your crosshairs.
