I just wanted to mention that I think it’s amazing how far we’ve come. I don’t know of any weapon table earlier than mine, which I clumsily made over 5 years ago.
This was probably the original source of the 6.5 and 10.2 myths, as well as the overheat times. They lasted for an astonishing amount of time, and without good reason. They could have been easily disproved with more accurate and independent testing.
I’ve kept expanding and updating it, and now there is an official table at last, which is even integrated with the game, there is no need for me to test and crunch numbers anymore. It’s a feeling I can’t describe.
