Why [Acc]?

I'm deciding on what Modifiers to get for my Romulan Plasma Dual Heavy Cannons and I know that [Acc]x2 is popular personally I wanted to get [CtrH]x2 to add +4 Critical Chance but I heard that [Acc] is better because of Accuracy Overflow so which is better?

Say ur base acc is +10 and there defence is 0 it adds + 1.25% critH n 5% critS I've gone for acc n crith weapons it works very well for me in CSE KASE n ISE. Nothing lives long under my DHC
He is wrong great tool on this website http://blackwyvernarts.com/blog/?p=58
The Answer is simple.... If you can't hit your target... CRTH CRTD are nothing....
Always go for ACC... The constant hitting of your target will boost that CRTH and CRTD effects....
P,s i use the rommy plasma with the [ACC] [CRITh] mods plus the plasma buff from set bonuses.
This is spot on. There is currently some testing being done, albeit poorly, to measure if overflow is being converted correctly. If it is, this information is valid.
For most players in most content [Acc]x2 will be optimal.
For most players the next mod will be [Dmg]
The next tier up will be crit rate vs crit severity. One mod will smooth out your damage in comparison to the other given that you are still working only with weapon mods.
Soooo....Fleet Weapons with [Acc]x2 [Dmg]x2 are sooper great all purpose weapons. Excluding very heavy one shot spike builds any other mods are only marginally better.
In other words, if you aren't actually going to meter it you'd never notice the difference in crit rate just using your eyeballs. Because it is only plus or minus 0.75% per mod.
Cheers and all that.
This is correct. One other thing worth noting is that most npcs have a low bonus defence. In the case of stfs the borg do not move and have no shields or other missions like nws where you gw a mob in place Acc is not usually an issue. While acc will over flow it will not overflow at the same rate of crit as the actual modifiers.
The next part of the equation is what are you global crit rate. if you crth is less then 20% then crth may be ideal. If it is over 20% Then crtd is suddenly preferred.
In other missions like "The Vault: Ensnared", a PvP styled escort is preferred. you can zip along to distant targets and kill all the mesh weavers. Since these ships are zippy they have a high defense value and Acc is preferred.
In most PvE you can get away with lower acc values if you have the precise trait. That will help you kill most smaller zippier targets while still using crt weapons for more frequent larger hits.
In PvP you will want pure acc. It will be the only way to hit a zippy aux2damp escort.
Faster you go, the higher your defence as a rule. Certain ships and some consoles also add to defence, as do some captain skills.
Thus, the first priority is to overcome the targets defence.
What happens after that is bonus.
As others have said, my default fleet weapon will be [ACC]x2 [DAM]x2, a nice combination of making sure you arrive where you need to be and have a loud enough voice once you get there.
This is why, if a piece of weaponry drops of blue or purple quality in some run that you don't want, and it has [ACC] bonuses. Do not sell it at a dealer before checking out the prices on the exchange.
You'll often have a nice surprise.
Most enemies either move REALLY slow (Borg, Voth, etc) and you probably invested points in Weapon Accuracy such that the bonus Acc from [Acc] modifiers doesn't really do much, and 10% acc overflow adding 1.25% isn't better than 2% CrtH, even with the CrtD bonus (which is quite low and IMO not very worth it.).
For PvP, [Acc]x2 is base, but with all these romulans with defense bonuses and dyson engineering consoles, you're forced to go with [Acc]x3, if you want to see numbers on the screen, not just misses.
RnD and upgrade needs less RNG. Less lottery. Something has to change.
There are alternatives although you loose a console slot or damage.
You can add [Acc] through Dyson reputation tac consoles, but you loose damage. You can also add 10% acc using beams with the Nukara console.
It's simple. You have a Base Accuracy of 100%. The target has a Defense largely based upon speed. Chance To Hit is Your accuracy (+ extra accuracy) - ( Target's defense + (any DEF extras) ). If your Net Chance to Hit is greater than 100%, the amount is excess of 100 is converted into extra Crit Chance and Crit Severity.
I use [Dmg]x3 [CrtD] Fleet Anti-Proton DHCs and my accuracy has never fallen below 99%. Ever.
I would recommend buying CrtH or CrtD weapons.

PvP: Completely different animal. Here, you want all the [Acc] you can find as you're fighting against other player's and their Defense Value *is* high enough to to make difference.
1) No matter how much Defense a target has, you always have at least a 25% To-Hit chance.
2) If a target is not moving at all (i.e. zero speed), they have a -15% Defense penalty aka sitting duck.
