Yup. This actually happened.

Do you think leading a squad of military units comes with flat numbers on success?
You take risks with people's lives. You don't get guarantees.
Be lucky and thankful that when he says you'll succeed, you succeed.

I don't get care what a "real military" deals with. This is a game. We *should* be able to see the % chance of success next to whatever he quotes and in addition to that, if we're only a few points off of a stat it shouldn't be that huge of a penalty. Random example, let's say the stat requirements on a mission are 100/100/100 and our stats are 95/105/105, that should at least be a 95%+ chance of success rather than 50-75% it appears to be.

This is what we need:

The little quotes need to go. Just give us a visible flat % chance already. There's no reason to hide that information from us.

Especially when I swear, the guy is drunk half the time. He kept saying how it was hopeless for my squad to complete the level 20 mission because they were seven points off yet after I did complete it, he's now saying they're up to a task despite being over 200 points below one of the requirements.

Just as you "don't care what real military deals with" nobody in particular cares about how you think the system should work either.

why?
you've only reached the required level for two of three stats, so why not 66% chance of success? where has 95% come from?

The 95% likely comes from the fact you have 95% of the required stats in the one stat you are lacking. The + likely comes from the fact that you have more stats than necessary in the others, so that would compensate.

Essentially yes.

Edit for clarification:

Using the level 35 mission Allied Maneuvers as an example, it requires 455/315/190 for a grand total of 960. Let's say my total is 160/160/160 for a total of 480 points, that's 50% of the required amount which should be a 50% chance of success in my opinion.

that's not how everything in life works.

if you have to scale a 9 foot wall it doesn't matter if you can reach 8'11" or 5'10" you won't be able to get over.

[Chiapet]

Tweak your stats to meet the requirements by selective training and selecting teammates.
If you meet the requirements or exceed them you will succeed every time.

I appreciate your advice but I can tell you for a fact that I've met the stats and the lil window lickers still fail.

You really under estimate how much this game dislikes me ^^;;;;

In life, if you die, you're gone for good. Hardcore mode incoming?

It's a video game. I feel I have to stress this. If you are to scale a 9 foot wall in real life, you can freeclimb, you can build a ladder, you can try to walk around it, you can use climbing tools, you can build a fricken tower or a tunnel through the wall if you've got the time. In a video game, it's just a stat check.

A stat check that wasn't met. So whats the issue?
