I just asked a question. More damage output than a Jackson... what came to mind is the dmg per shot on an Elefant. It´s not my problem if you lack the mental capabilities to see the point.
DPS stands for Damage Per SECOND which is as dependent on damage as is it is on reload. Su-76 and Su-85 have very high DPS as they shoot every 3-4 seconds (su76 close to 3 and su85 close to 4, and this improves especially with vet). Elefant does 320 damage but at vet 0 has 8-9 second reload. Which means su85 and su-76 has DPS close (or that of, if you are that person) of the elefant. (And of course other disadvantages and advantages like range and penning, but not my point) Theres also a bit of aim time as well, and im pretty sure they dont have cooldowns or anything else extending time... But damage output isnt just initial damage per shot. And its not super smart to fight other tanks without support from AT guns, more tanks, etc, and tanks can simply run from a fight by blitzing, smoking, or by baiting, which can also be countered by not falling for bait. Every tank battle is a 1v1 in completely open flat ground in this game, apparently, and having more range cant be negated by the environment or speed. Kappa
Firefly seems to have (and in the alpha, had) 240 damage per hit, but about.., 7-8 seconds of reload - judging from the video of "40 minutes of gameplay from the British Forces". Meaning it has high alpha damage, but not so high DPS, at least compared to other things.
Im pretty sure. Because apparently we all know 100% Firefly will be OP without proper practice and fully knowing the stats...
