Default UT GDF file and Targeting

According to the UT file I have Targeting bonus error.
This from the file itself:
Quote:
// ^^^^ ERROR Scopes giving improper bonus to acc
Has the error been corrected?

No. It's basically a limitation of GCA. A scope should give a separate bonus to Acc, with Acc winding up being something like 7+4 (the +4 being from the Scope, the +7 from the weapon itself). Unfortunately, Acc is a purely numeric trait, so a +4 Scope would wind up just giving an Acc of 11 instead of 7+4.

What'll need to happen is that the next version of GCA will have a separate acc() and scopeacc() stat, which can be targeted independently and will be recombined appropriately on the character sheets. That just never happened with GCA4.

So I have to add it manually. Thanks for letting me know
