So, for most hunters, once they get above lvl 30 skills in any weapon class, they will always have an eco "maxed" weapon to use, depending on whats available.
(warning: whining ahead)
But I have a history as a CBW (crying bitching whiner) on SIB weapons real hit ability. Why do I miss as much at 2 meters as I do at 60 meters on a maxed weapon?

They aren't necessarily misses, they are just shots that do no damage

with regards to HA, note that SIB IV -starts- at 3.0, (not 0 like it should) so thoreau should be hitting more with it, not less.

Though the starting HA *could* be a lie...more testing required methinks.
