Normandy Patch Update

I didn't realize the firepower bonus was multiplied by the quality fire modifier; that's significant!

This is also why elite German units are so much better than regular D quality Soviet Rifle units (SA: 5, adjusted SA of 4 due to being D quality) or Commonwealth infantry, which have low SA values.

All modifiers are added or substracted in order to get to the modifier you see in the results overview, there are no seperate categories that are applied in a certain order.

For example: an A quality unit with an SA value of 11 firing through a hedgerow (-50% hexside modifier) doesn't have an adjusted SA value of  11x1.5=16.5 times 0.5 is 8.25, but of 11x(1.5-0.5)=11.

A C quality Commonwealth infantry unit with an SA value of 6 firing through a hedgerow has an adjusted SA value of 3.

This is why elite German PzG units still perform well when firing through hedgerows whilst compared to them Allied infantry units have the effectiveness of natives armed with spears.

By the way: it is worth noting that the quality fire modifier only applies to positive values, so D quality units don't suddenly have a -50% penalty.
