i prefer the actual damage per shot...

I think both should be shown, because some weapons, like the flak cannon, have a low firerate but a great burst, so its more helpful to know its damage... At the same time the vulcan does very little damage per shot, but has a great firerate, so its more helpful to know DPS. It really just depends on the weapons and your playstyle.

Well there are excel charts all over the internet showing everything from damage per bullet, DPS, damage per burst (shotgun weapons), fire-rate and the most recent chart I found even shows the timing taken to kill using a specific weapon (assuming all projectiles hit their mark).

But yes, although they already did revamp the stat system, for me, it doesn't really show anything except rough stats that don't even apply to an actual mech fight where everyone is dodging everywhere and shots don't always land.

I'm sure a better table would be
Effective DPS, damage per shot/burst, shots/s, rough heat production, etc.

And even if the team doesn't want to reveal actual numbers, they can do a rating of 1-10 based on all these variables instead of the very sketchy rough idea we have now of just one word "damage" (which I still have trouble figuring out if it means DPS or DPburst/hit or just the overall damage potential of the weapon)

I would like to see what is in the afore mentioned excel charts in the game.  Game changes a lot.  Would be nice to be able to see the stats in the game without having to go to an external resource.

[Sheet 1], [Sheet 2] Check between both to make sure numbers aren't off on some things.

yeah my point was to make it easier for a new player

so one doesn't have to hunt down black market weapon data on the internet

hahaha

comparing DAMAGE to RATE OF FIRE would yield a rough DPS

i just think the current stat neglects RANGE so it is inaccurate when considering some weapons

shotgun vectors, explosive radius et cetera

not 1-10... 1-100 DAMAGE rating per shot would be more intelligent if they don't want to give actual values

I have to say, I have noticed that the assault rifle does seem to do better than the submachine cannon, even though the submacine cannon has better stats.
Thus DPS would be difficult to measure. Also does effective range make a actual difference, or is it just te game designers saying that it is only accurate up to here_

Tea if u use a vulcan jus pont up u will still get the target
