Probing increases hit percentage??
« on: June 19, 2003, 11:11:36 am »
I thought probes had no impact on any weapon hit percentages.

However, I ran into a player last night who swore that it helps.

Anyone have the definitive word on this???

Thx, DM

I know in some cases it will decrease your hit percentage... e.g.:

I was flying a cube against a number of Feds who were under the same impression re: probes, firing them off before each volley of quantums. Naturally, I adapted & hit W when I saw the probes on the way, with the warp kicking in just as the quantums got close... the sight of a cube dodging torps was hilarious...

Naturally this doesn't apply to primaries, but be aware you'll be telegraphing your next move to your opponent for ill-defined advantage...
