While a randomize to-hit system could lead to (in a perfectly randomized world) an endless chain of misses in the finite universe of, say, a battle, the streak breaker in the CoH\/CoV code forces a hit to happen (for you) after X number of misses, X being determined by the lowest percent to-hit in your attack chain.<br \/>\nBottom line, if you are going up against an even-level minion opponent, with no enhancements (i.e., 75% TH on each attack)), you cannot miss more than 3 times.  On the fourth time you will hit, regardless of what you might have rolled.<br \/>\nWhich is still awfully frustrating, but does actually give you an edge over the straight TH percentages.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s actually kind of fascinating stuff.
