Hello,
I'm 168 years into the game, started with research rate at 25%, all other options are at default values.
Got my fleet up and destroyed the NPR fleet. I was ready for the invasion of the enemy home planet.
My forces were the following:

After the drop the information gathered from the enemy:
Unknown Unit Types: 3 220
After the initial round of attack I got this report of my attack and the names of the enemy units:
Attack | Shots | Hits | Armour Penetrated | Destroyed |
Decurion AA Mech | 314 | 14 | 0 | 0 |
Centurion | 955 | 7 | 7 | 4 |
Praetorian Combat Mech | 444 | 12 | 1 | 0 |
Construction Vehicle | 19 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Ressuply Infantry | 69 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Praetorian Leader | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
My loss report came next:
Unit | Losses |
Ultramarine HMG Unit | 39 |
Ultramarine Unit | 60 |
Ultramarine Logistics Unit | 2 |
On the second round I've got the information of the estimation of the enemy forces:
Unit | Ammount | Armour | HP | Shots | Penetration | Damage |
Centurion | 1589 | 10 | 10 | 6 | 12 | 12 |
Praetorian Combat Mech | 242 | Unknown | Unknown | 1 | 48 | 48 |
Decurion AA Mech | 77 | Unknown | Unknown | 1 | 24 | 48 |
Ressuply Infantry | 269 | Unknown | Unknown | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Unknown Unit Types | 408 | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown |
The next rounds came exactly the same. A lot of shots fired from my units low hit ratios.
Enemy round: loads of casualties on my side.
I understand they were fortified and that my units had low penetration rate.
What I don't get is:
How did my units missed so many shots? The hit ratio is abysmal.
Only 248 enemy units (that I knew of) could penetrate my armour rating and still I got many casualities? Droping hundreads per 8h tick.
Can some enlighten me?
