How does Overwatch work?
When using overwatch with units with repeating guns. Do they use all remaining action points to fire. Or do they only fire once.

As well is there any way to see accuracy of overwatch attacks. I'm not sure if it's higher or lower than normal attacks, or if there are any hidden modifiers.

They use all their remaining action points to fire and as far as i'm aware the base accuracy is the same as a regular attack at that range, tho there are things that boost overwatch accuracy and i think also overwatch crit chance.

They use all of their remaining shots. No idea about the second one. I didn't even bother searching for overwatch accuracy.

I think it works like in XCOM you have a bonus on hitchance because overwatch will hit target in a specific range and i think it will dont miss and the unite use all of the action point. That what i figure out. But im not a pro in this hope anybody knows it right :D

You also have to select where to watch, like Phantom Doctrine. Got me really confused at first.

Does it ignore cover? Like in XCOM an advantage of using overwatch was you could hit a unit moving out of cover.

I think there is a promotion that gives you better shooting though cover in overwatch. Need to check exact wording later.

In XCOM you have lowered (70% of normal) hit chance on Overwatch. In this game as far as I know its the same chance, and you get a bonus with the upgrade.

Hit chance is the same as a normal attack as far as I can tell. Units on overwatch will fire at the end of a move or action that brings the enemy unit into their overwatch zone, and will fire as many times as they can with their weapon.
