Are there boosts to enemy hit percentages? also..
I recently started playing this mod yesterday, and I've read through all of the information found in the game archives sections and I've looked at a list of changes on the mod page itself. My question is this - do enemy units (specifically, certain ADVENT troopers) have hidden aim boosts with this mod?

I ask because I've noticed them landing some shots that are pretty wild imo. I actually just minimized my game to type this out: an advent trooper just landed a very long range shot on one of my soldiers who is in full cover from 2 directions, all of it angled perfectly against that trooper's shot. Now that it's my turn, I switch to my sniper and notice that I only have a 30 percent chance to land that same shot, pretty much. Normally, I'd just say that the dice roll was super lucky for them, but I've noticed this several times already. They're consistently landing shots that would be very unlikely for me to land. Of course, since I'm new to the mod, my own marines don't have that much rank/experience so their aim naturally isn't that well, but I'd imagine that if my own snipers can't reliably land these shots, ADVENT troopers shouldn't be able to either.

ALSO: Is there any way for ADVENT troopers to get panicked? Maybe there's something in the lore with their mental biology or whatever that prevents this, but I'm kind of getting tired of it. Nearly 90 percent of the time, when one of my guys takes damage, he/she panics hard for about 1-2 turns and is virtually out of the fight. But whenever I nail a good shot on one of them, they never get spooked. Maybe I'm just fighting nothing but high ranking, elite ADVENT soldiers but come on. One of my guys just got hit with a crazy 3 damage overwatch shot and is practically useless right now, but I hit that same trooper with a shot that brought him to 1 health bar and he isn't frightened at all. Like, they're mostly foot soldiers right? Don't they have low will too?

Honestly, I kinda got♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥just now; this random trooper, waaay on the other side of the map, moves up a couple of tiles and lands a john hathcock shot on someone I need to stay healthy; I go to shoot back with my sniper and the shot is absolutely terrible. I think the only time I have a decent shot with any of my marines is if the target is straight up exposed

edit: Advent officer just landed a long-range shot on a full cover soldier, while I was suppressing his♥♥♥♥♥ Am I fighting a bunch of troopers or am I fighting Ultramarines?

Edit 2:: Ohkay, wow. Cover is pointless, right? I just got hit by a long range shot from a disoriented sectoid while in good cover. What's the point in carrying flashbangs if the enemy can just ignore the adverse affects and still have a 90 percent chance to hit you? My best shot on it was 35% from my best sniper.
