COMPUTEDDamage per second = models × expected damage per attack ÷ the weapon's attack interval (melee_weapons.melee_attack_interval). Expected damage per attack is the combat calculator's: hit chance 35 + melee attack (+ bonus vs large) − Chaos Knights' melee defence 50, damage + bonus vs large split between base and armour-piercing like the weapon's own, armour 120 blocking 50–100% of the base part. × 1,000 ÷ multiplayer cost.
ASSUMPTIONS
- Every model fights at once at its weapon's attack interval; in battle only the models in reach do.
- No charge (spears and halberds also brace against charges: charge_defence attributes are not counted), mass, abilities, skills or items.
- Missiles: every projectile hits; the target's shield faces away.
- Race lists count a unit only where it is in the standard roster: units a faction gets only through the extended roster (campaign_exclusive in units_custom_battle_permissions: Custom Battle with Unit caps off, never in ranked) are left out of race comparisons; their numbers are on their unit pages.
