Not unusual <g>

That much I know <g> Unfortunately an IAVR in the closest range band
has the same hit probability as a GMS with Enhanced guidance firing at
a target with no ECM, and super-heavy vehicles are rather likely to
have the best ECM they can get. (The difference between Superior and
Enhanced GMS guidance vs. no ECM is almost nil, BTW.) Had the IAVRs
used HW range bands - which, thank heavens, they don't! - then most
SGII gaming tables would be too small to make GMSs worthwhile compared
to IAVRs :-/

Makes a lot more sense. Means that Regulars ony have a 80+% hit rate
within 160 meters, not 240... realistic against a stationary target of
course, but very impressive against a moving one <g>
