This phrasing isn't quite accurate.  The chance being articulated is more like "the chance to successfully acquire the projectile as a target at each step of its movement within the drone's range".  If the projectile is acquired, the drone then fires on it, which relies on normal missile weapon accuracy behavior; if the drone's projectile enters the incoming projectile's square, then it's destroyed (exploding it in the case of missiles and grenades). —[[User:Chaos|Chaos]] ([[User talk:Chaos|talk]]) 12:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

"Chance to shoot down"

This phrasing isn't quite accurate. The chance being articulated is more like "the chance to successfully acquire the projectile as a target at each step of its movement within the drone's range". If the projectile is acquired, the drone then fires on it, which relies on normal missile weapon accuracy behavior; if the drone's projectile enters the incoming projectile's square, then it's destroyed (exploding it in the case of missiles and grenades). —Chaos (talk) 12:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
