One thing. Dont buildings have 1 armor? I pretty sure they do when e.g. a ling attacks a building.

i think some buildings have armor, but cannons aren't one of them.

You can set armor to 0 in the editor.

Rerun the test for one cannon - ended up with 3720 hp which is exactly 53.5% of hit rate.

Okay, I've rerun the 1000 hp test for 13 cannons, the average hp ended up 469 with map revealers which is a good correlation to the one-cannon test, being a 53,1% chance. Now case definetely closed.

There are factors at work that might influece:

Presence of doodads (trees)

Unit firing rate variation: Sometimes two units fight against each other will display different refresh rates for unknown reason. Like, tell two scvs to attack each other, even if the attacks are synchronized initially, they will start taking turn later on, because one scv is attacking faster than the other (yes, weird)

Did you test to see if it is a building issue? Maybe because the building takes several matrices? Try a marine vs a marine with 8000 HP, doing 1 damage. =)

Could you also test if cliff + tress adds up? Cuz Im pretty sure it does.
Can you also test tress alone?
Can you also test several tress stacked?

Thanks ^^

I think all this testing and insecurity could be settled if someone competent (like R1CH?) dug up the game code, and worked out how does the miss chance work, and what is the mathematical/logical reason that its not 70%, as Blizzard claimed.
