Ok denei stats all you want it still does not make a great argument for you. Versitilty you qaintify with type of barrage vet ability and bonusses and aoe profile.
As for stats being usseles, "more user friendly" is far more usseles then comparing stats wise. That has even more opinion written all over it.
For claiming facts and then stating data is irrelevant to come to your fact is mind bogeling. You seem to have a different defenition of what a fact is.
I,ll leave it at that.
Don't act all high and mighty. I said the data you want is irrelevant. And listen what points I made require more practical data (real world). Like,
%chance of Rocket strike dodged
avg hit area wrt range curve
avg unit cluster area
avg reaction time of attack recipient
%chance to hit target with barrage while no doge
%chance to hit target with barrage while doge
avg damage hit area likely to receive given x number of units
%chance to hit clustered target once they have moved from are
and a fair bit more.
All you are talking about is stuff in theory. but as the saying goes
"it's all good in theory, not in practice"
All AOE profile will do tell what the dice rolls and numbers are like. It won't tell you stuff in game. And no one has the time to gather stats like these.
