0.5.4 Weapons/Vehicle Stats (Damage, Armor, etc)

[Hiruma Kai]

Back by popular demand (Ok, ok, so only one person asked for it so far), the new, the improved MWLL 0.5.4 beta numbers. 

The fine print:
Use at your own risk, not responsible for damages caused by new Assault Mechs, and numbers are not guaranteed to be correct.

The spreadsheets at google docs are at the following links:
Weapons
Vehicle Armor
Vehicle Damage by Range
Vehicle Stats

Edit:  The following might be of interest.  Its a difference between the 0.5.3 and 0.5.4 stats for the weapons.  Its missing a few columns, but may still be interesting to some people.  Positive numbers means its larger in 0.5.4. Negative means smaller in 0.5.4.

Weapon differences from 0.5.3 to 0.5.4

I fixed the armor by location output this release.  Apparently some of my previous text files were empty...

To run the python script, remember to remove the .txt extension.  On windows, I use IDLE to run it.  It needs to be in the same directory that has an unzip of the GameData.pak from the mod itself.

I can put up text files of spreadsheets for download here if google docs isn't sufficient, upon request.

Edit:  It looks like there's a bug in the heat calculation for basic pulse weapons - doesn't look like I'm taking into account the 5 shots per burst, so the heat is roughly a factor of 5 too low.

Edit of Edit: I've found the bug, and fixed the pulse and clan pulse heat calculations.   They look closer to correct now.  I've updated the script attached to this post as well as the affected google docs.

Edit:  A request for a spreadsheet including heat per minute and damage per minute was made.  I've attached it as a csv file, attached below.  Just remove the .txt extension and load up into your spreadsheet of choice.

Is Improved & Regular H-gauss right?

Is Improved & Regular H-gauss right?

I'm sorry, I may not be understanding your question.  In answer to the existence of both Improved Heavy Gauss (ImprovedHeavyGauss in the table) and Heavy Gauss (HeavyGauss), the answer is yes.

Any chance you could set these tables so that the headers always stay visible as you scroll down the list? Would be very helpful.

[Hiruma Kai]

I think I've frozen all of the 1st Rows and Columns.  If its still not working, PM me and I'll try to figure out what I'm doing wrong.  Thanks for the suggestion. 

Edit:  Anyone know if its intentional that the Blood Asp Externals IdComponent and Max Damage values are missing from the XML for the Prime, A, B, and C variants?  The D and E have them listed.

The Improved Heavy Gauss is actually a downgrade from the Heavy Gauss is why I'm asking. 2 less shots and dmg. I thought they were reversed.

Can't confirm myself because I'm @ work.

The improvement of the IHG is the range. The regular HG as a damage drop off after 450 meters while the IHG has a longer range (800 vs 700) and no damage drop off. The IHG can deliver a 1932 punch at 800 meters while the HG can at most deliver 1050.2 damage at 700 meters. The IHG's projectile also flies slightly faster.

Edit: Beaten to the punch.

Ah yes, that I can answer.  The IHGauss does about 10% less damage and has fewer shots *but* it has 100m extra range and no damage falloff.  Past 450m, the Heavy Gauss falls of with 4.3 damage per meter.

At a range of 495m the IHGauss and HGauss are doing the same damage.  At a range of 700m, the IHGauss is doing 1932 while the HGauss is doing 1050, not quite twice as much.  Plus its got the extra 100m range.

Regular and Clan Pulse lasers now have 3 pulses instead of 5, but the damage per pulse has been increased for a net result of same damage dealt but shorter duration.

Oh I can already hear the cries of pulse lasers being too much of a twitch weapon now.

[KingLeerUK]

You pay for that twitch ability in heat and price, especially for Clan tech.

I wish we hadn't left that one out of the patch notes.... its kind of a biggie. Pulse lasers have been purposely tweaked to reflect their intended role. Shorter range but higher accuracy comes from quick bursts, not long ones. We feel it also more correctly reflects the intention of the weapon from CBT. Overall it should lead to a more enjoyable weapon with a specific role, rather than what it was, which was just a longer firing laser with a slightly different effect.

oh god the summoner's LPL is good now! :O

Patch note accuracy is only as good as my ability to focus on 4 hours sleep and the voices in my head...
