Great Escape Stats Guide

AI Units Stats
Vision
All units in the game use the same vision stats. There is a single base vision distance for the game.
Factors such as alertness, lighting and stance are applied through modifiers. Regardless of the result of
the calculations, there is always a minimum distance that the player can be seen at.

Vision Modifiers:
Alertness Visibility Stance
o Normal x0.75 Light on Player o Crouched x0.75
o Alert x1 Between 0 and 1 o Prone x0.50

The vision is calculated by taking the base vision range, multiplying by the alertness state then
multiplying this by the visibility (the amount of light the player is in) then multiplying this by a (where
appropriate) a stealth modifier then a stance modifier.

Sample Distances (Day, visibility 1/Night, visibility 0.5)

Base Min Distance to Spot Distance to Spot

Human Stats Profile

All units are based on the following profiles (information contained in HumanStat file and Human file)
and don’t vary level to level. The civilian profile includes all units in the game that are non-military
such as workmen or a chef. The soldier profile includes all military units who are not officers such as

goons, ferrets or Feldgrau troops. The officer profile is used for all units such as Gestapo Officers, the
Kommandant and so on while the Elite profile is used for special troops such as Panzergrenadiers.

The table below lists the most important stats that impact on the game system in Great Escape. Other
stats such as rounds per magazine are accurate to the info in the Jane’s gun guide book. The main aim
with the balancing is that MGs kill a standard AI unit with 1 burst, SMGs with 2 busts, rifles take 3
shots, pistols 4 shots and punching with 5 hits.

Vehicles
This uses a similar stats system to Gulf, where un-armoured vehicles have lots of health and little
armour so they can be riddled with and destroyed by small arms fire and can be destroyed in a single
shot by an anti-tank weapon. Armoured vehicles have little health and lots of armour so they can be
destroyed with anti-tank weapons but not with small arms.
