More Consistent Damage [WOTC]
Don’t like it when your soldiers miss their shots? This mod is for you! This mod is an alternative to Dani’s mod "Reliable Damage" (which was never updated for WOTC).
The main idea is, normally soldiers will take shots that deal full damage – but that’s only if they hit… instead, this mod makes shots hit more often but deal reduced damage, for more consistency in total damage output. In most situations, it is better to hit for less damage, than to not hit at all.
— Example —
In the base game, let’s say a soldier takes 4 shots at 75% Aim that deal 5 damage each.
Probably 3 of those shots will hit, for a total of 15 damage.
But if only 2 shots hit, you have 10 damage.
Or if all 4 shots hit, you have 20 damage.
This means you have a "damage range" of 10-20 damage randomly.
Now with this mod, the same soldier takes 4 shots at 100% (which is 75% + 25%) that deal 3.75 damage each (which is 5 damage reduced -25%), results in 15 damage. (the probability average)
Decimals above a whole number are handled as a percent chance to inflict 1 more damage. For example, a shot that deals 3.75 damage will deal 3 damage, with a 75% chance to deal 1 more damage. (for a total of 4 damage)
Although there are DLC and mod weapons here, you do not need those DLCs to use the mod.
