I'd say it should just double the chance.  Increasing it to 100% is 
_extremely_ powerful.

Immediately after I built Sun Tzu's I attacked with a destroyer, and 
won.  I wasn't made veteran.  For a moment I thought it was a bug, then 
I remembered Sun Tzu's only works for ground units.

But you're saying that's not true?  In that case it was a bug...

In either case the sentence needs to be clarified.  It's natural to 
assume it means only ground units, since the previous sentence refers to 
them.  But it doesn't say so explicitly.
