In 'Node' We Trust
It is perception that affects accuracy in VATS but not outside of VATS. I have agility 10, which gives action points to use in VATS and 6 perception often boosted up to 8. But that all does not matter. There's no point in using VATS, which I was doing first hours of the game and enjoyed it. Then I realized it's much easier to use VATS to find targets when:
1. I myself can't see them.
2. Insta-aim.
Then just exit VATS and instantly pop the trigger. BOOM! Raider gone. Kind of like quick scoping, but quick VATSing. If the target isn't moving then you just exit VATS and hit aim button aiming right on the target. All the time in the world. No need to actually move the thumb stick or mouse. Best of both worlds, VATS found the target for you and done the aiming then instead of taking that percentage chance, exit VATS and enjoy 100% aim.
