Here are the statistics for different Tau Weapons killing a Space Marine, ENJOY
Well,, the chances of it killing a marine,, in any case, ENJOY:) (BS is considered 3)
Pulse Rifle = 1/9 2/9 (When on Rapid Fire)
Pulse Carbine = 1/9 2/9 (If Twin Linked)
Burst Cannon= 1/3 2/3 (If Twink Linked)
Smart Miss. = 4/9 8/9 (If Twin Linked)
Fusion Blaster = 5/12 5/6 (If Twin Linked)
Ion Cannon = 5/4
Kroot Gun = 5/36 5/18 (When on Rapid Fire)
Kroot Rifle = 1/12 1/6 (When on Rapid Fire)
Missile Pod = 5/18 5/9 (If Twin Linked)
Plasma Rifle = 5/12 5/6 (When on Rapid Fire)
Rail Gun = 5/12 5/6 (If Twin Linked)
SubMunitions = 5/36 (per unit) So you need to get 7.2 marines under it to have a 100% chance of scoring a kill.
Flamer = 1/12 (per unit) So you need to get 12 of them under it to have a 100% of scoring a kill.
Seeker Missile = 25/36
Koo, hope you understand What that all means, and here are the statistics for some of the more popular combos for Crisis Suits (BS 3) I you want other ones, I am pretty sure you can do the math.
Plasma Rifle/Missile Pods - More then 12" away = 25/36 (about 69%)
- Less then 12" away = 25/18 (about 139 %)
Plasma Rifle/Fusion Blaster - More then 12" away = 5/12 (about 42%)
- Less then 12" away = 10/9 (about 111%)
Plasma Rifle/Burst Cannon - More then 12" away = 3/4 (about 75%)
- Less then 12" away = 7/6 (about 117%)
And since I know some of you were wondering, I will answer the age old question of what is the best configuration to put on the Broad Side. Though it Still all depends on how much LOS you have, and keep in mind that if you don't run when an enemy is within 12" of you, you are screwed up the ass.
Twin-Rails/Twin-Plasma Guns - More then 12" away = 5/3 ( about 167%)
Less then 12" away = 5/2 (about 250%)
Twin-Rails/Twin-Smart Missiles - The same at both ranges = 23/18 (128%)
Since this is Eldar Online, and some of you think there is a chance in hell that you will pin an nme squad of Marines , its 25%. If you kill of half of them, it will be 33.3%. And thats if you inflint a kill (you would probably kill 3 marines in two turns of firing with the Pulse Carbine)
