Calculating Damage= values

MigEater, I was wondering: How do you calculate the Damage= values of your units' weapons when implementing them in D-Day? It's easy to see things like Speed=, ROF=, things like that since they're "tangible" values in real life. But, when looking at just the muzzle velocity or muzzle energy alone for a weapon, it doesn't seem to match with its in-game equivalent.

He's 150 years old and has several clones of himself. Each took part in a different country in all wars in history of D-Day, so he has first hand infos about the effectivity of all the units that ever saw the battlefield.
Hint: since he has clones of himself, he is also able to produce that many excellent units and buildings in that short amount of time Wink

I use weapon penetration test results to calculate a weapons damage and range. However the results can vary between different tests, some weapons were also never tested, so sometimes I have to take an educated guess.

I see. That's sort of what I was thinking, like how far the round could penetrate its intended target at that "ideal" range between point-blank and its max effective range, since it varies like you said.

I will be very grateful if you will share, what formulas are you using to calculate damage, armor, health, speed stats for units.
It can be useful to use in my own mods to calculate unit stats.
Of course if these formulas is not a secret.
Some examples can be good too.
