Then if you add in ASI and magic items. It increases further.  So you are going from a +5 or so to hit to a potentially +14 to hit ( a delta of +9) versus monster ACs which don't change (if the same monster) or go up by +4 or so at most if they are different monsters.  Fighters in 5e clearly get better at hitting IME, and that is because of BA (at least partially).For example:Low level boss threat: Orc War Chief, AC 16High level boss threat: Orcus, AC 17 (20 with wand of Orcus)That is a 1-4 AC spread across a +22 CR spread.  Level appropriate players are definitely hitting Orcus more often than they are the Orc War Chief!</blockquote>
