Once again thanks for the feedback, but please keep in mind I understand now where I went wrong. Not to mention that I never really noticed in my play through of XCOM: Enemy Unknown that you could load back to past turns in a battle and rolled with the punches in my playthrough. On a side note to all those sarcastically noting that I was slow to catch onto this, I would like to let you know I don't play R&D chance games and XCOM is the only one I have played. I appreciate this now and as stated have decided to stop loading back. UPDATE 2: I understand now that I have interpreted this wrong, rather than the game being too exploitable I have been exploiting the game too much. UPDATE: Stopped save scumming now, looking into seeds. I don't know whether this has been brought up before, and sorry for repeating a post if it has but I just wanted to see whether anyone else had discovered this and felt a similar disappointment in this hole in the XCOM hit chance system.

This has been for me what has ruined my experience of an otherwise great game, this exploit leaves me little motivation to let my soldiers frustratingly miss 95% chance shots when I know if I load back and move different people prior to shooting I have a way to change the outcome. It is notable that the percent of the hacking bar that filled up was the same every time if I did the same actions leading up to it. For example when I had 28% chance to hack an Advent Mec, if I tried to hack it before moving a certain soldier it would fail but when I reloaded back to the start of the turn and moved said soldier the hack worked. The percentage chances for actions in this game I have found to be based not on the percent shown, but rather what combination of actions you take before doing them.
