Great thank you for your feeback, keep it coming

Looks well thoughtout. I assume ASRM6 didnt make it due to spread?
Well, its one factor but the formulas obviously tried to consider all factors.
Just play around with the values if you disagree with what I put in.

If you don't mind me asking, what was your thought process when arriving with the 4.39 range factor value in your parameters sheet?
I wanted to have 200m at 20%, effectiveness 600m at 80% effectiveness (pareto principle inspired) and 400m at 50%.
In terms of range everything below 200m sucks hard IMO and above 600m only gives you an edge on a few long range maps

1.)
If one weapon has almost 4.0 and (almost) all other weapon are below 1.0, something can't be right.
There is obviously some predjudice involved, over-weighing some variables and ignoring others.
Either to glorify or to blame a certain weapon. Which one applies is more less irrelevant.
I already thought about normalizing the values but it is corrent that some variables are obviously overweight right now.

2.)
Is the C-Gauss really 59 times more effective than a CLPL?
Absolutely ridiculously not.
The effectivness calculation is only supposed to provide a rank not a direct comparison.

You didn't factor in a lot of stuff.
For example:
- Every Mech has built-in HS, meaning the first few heat producers are "free", while the Gauss does not benefit from this at all.
- Ammo and Gauss can explode.
- Bigger weapons are much more prone to crits than Energy weapons are
- Ammo weapons waste total damage potential beyond optimal range. Energy weapons do not.
- Laser have perfect accuracy. Although that admittedly kind of counts for gauss as well. But not for the rest.
- Due to being hard-capped at 2 Gauss being able to fire simultaneously, the maximum Gauss alpha can be 30. With 4 LPL, it can be 52 if you're properly fitted and skilled to take the ghost heat. At comparable range. With rather short duration.
- probably dozens of other points, but you'll get the idea.
Yes a lot of factors are not considered. I already thought about some variables but it will be more tricky to factor them in.
After all I only use my subjective judgement to rate the results if they are correct or not.
Thats's why I put up the WIP result here to redeive feedback.
