That would be my guess if the values went from 0 to 100 but 0 to 200 really confuses me.

Right, but the problem is knowing what is the limit, is 200 the highest accuracy? Does 200 mean perfect accuracy, every shot=hit?

Status: offline 		Well my understanding is accuracy reflects the rate of fire bringing more and more chances to hit. then penetration and effect come in( I assume)
Its a good question on the 200 I did not know the level - not sure there are any weapons over 100??

If it's rate of fire it would be inverse, lower accuracy would be associated with higher rate of fire. Though correlation is not causation.

An example from scenario 1:

13.2mm Type 93 AAMG -> 45 Accuracy

88mm AA Gun -> 160 Accuracy

Accuracy: Rate of fire of the weapon multiplied by 10; to a limit. Anything beyond 27 RPM has special rules applied.
