I've been testing skill levels impact on accuracy... and i think some results are quite odd
Pistol accuracy is maybe too big:
Scenario: Target at 17 squares away (that should be a medium/long range shot), shooters crouching for taking the shot
Laser Pistol
Guy 1 (Accuracy 4, Close 6): 79% to hit
Guy 2 (Accuracy 79, Close 75): 96% to hit
Particle Pistol
Guy 1 ( Acc 4, Close 6): 74% single shot - 53% rapid shot
Guy 2 ( Acc 79, Close 75): 91% single shot - 66% rapid shot
Micro Shotgun
Guy 1 ( Acc 4, Close 6): 68% single shot - 14% 3-round burst
Guy 2 ( Acc 79, Close 75): 77% single shot - 18% 3-round burst
That seems quite high for pistols, and maybe a little high for the single shot microshotgun...
And now compare with...
Sniper Rifle
Guy 1 ( Acc 7, Sniping 10): 72% snap shot and head shot, 76% Aimed shot
Guy 2 ( Acc 94, Sniping 71): 100% snap shot and head shot, 100% Aimed shot
Particle Rifle (no accuracy bonus for crouching!)
Guy 1 ( Acc 7, Sniping 10): 85% snap shot, 85 % aimed shot, 53% rapid shot
Guy 2 ( Acc 94, Sniping 71): 86% snap shot, 87 % aimed shot, 65% rapid shot
So its easier to hit at medium/long ranges with pistols than with a sniper rifle.
And the ratio TU / Damage its much better for the pistols
