Come forth, brother and sisters, and let us unite our psychic might to dominate our foes with our occult mastery of algebra!
The goal of this topic is to enable you to benefit from and contribute to this excel sheet, in order to determine the optimal loadouts to spill the blood of those who seek to oppose us. It shows the average number of dead models after shooting at them once from a given weapon available to us.
It is far from being complete (and probably full of mistakes), that's why your help is more than welcome!
The exact formula is:
mean number of shots * chance to hit * chance to wound * chance to not save * min( mean weapon's damage, target's wounds) / target's wounds
I preemptively apoligize for any mistakes you might encounter, and for the ugly look of it, which comes from its uploading to google sheets.
