Uncanny Accuracy Under 1.72.496532

Published on Friday, September 1, 2023 By PaulLach In Galactic Civilizations IV

First, let me say that this is not a complaint!  I am thoroughly enjoying winning battles against the Drengin on the Godlike setting, but it does not seem like what is happening should be happening, so ...

I just had a couple of battles against Drengin fleets that I thought would be very close, but instead I won them with little to no damage.  After the battles, I looked at the battle logs and was surprised to see that my missiles hit their targets with well above the advertised 50% accuracy (55% with a targeting computer). My kinetic attacks also hit with above their advertised 67% accuracy (72% with a targeting computer).  The first screen snapshot below shows that, of the 13 visible missile attacks by my Frigates, 100% of them scored a hit with full damage.  The second screen snapshot below is from farther along in the battle and shows 100% success with kinetic, beam, and missile attacks.

Here is a save file on DropBox that you can load to look at the Battle Logs and perhaps fight a few battles yourself:

The battles took place in range of one of my military starbases, but I am not aware of any accuracy effect from a military starbase.

Please take a look and let me know if I have just been extraordinarily lucky or if a bug was introduced in version 1.72.496532.
