I just watched Bombadils second stream and at minute 34, I felt reminded about something we talked about in the old forums.

He made a called shot at the CT of a Firestarter and the hit% showed 26%.
But what happened? All 4 MedLasers hit the CT...
Well, you could say it's because of RNG, but actually this seems to me the same like it was in the backers beta, that with almost all weapons (except LRMs) the actual hit chance of a called shot was WAY higher than it should have been.

Me and some others (like Amechwarrior) tested this in the backer beta.
I did this test with SRMs and MedLasers and it didn't matter how high the gunnery skill or tactic skill of the pilots was (or how high the nominal hit% showed), the actual hit chance of a targeted torso part was really huge! (something around 70%)

I still have to watch some more of Cohh's streams to see if this suspicion is true or not.


Edit:
other suspicious called shots:
Cohhs stream 15, minute 3
Cohhs stream 22, minute 7
Cohhs stream 25, minute 11
Cohhs stream 25, minute 17
