Ok, so here is the gun chart - https://www.wcnews.com/articles/gunchart.htm
Now, I'm not disputing the accuracy of these numbers or anything (I'm just really surprised at how low some of them are)
Just as an example, scroll down to the Tachyon Gun. The strongest it ever gets on the chart is WC3/WC4/WCP - which is supposedly 7.0 CM worth of damage.
Am I the only person who thinks this is low? If a ship's shields are, let's say 250 CM (which was pretty common in WC4 particularly) then 4 Tachyon Guns - equalling about 28 CM aka 280 "DU" would need to score 9 direct hits to drop the shields alone. The energy drain during the gameplay alone would require at least 2/3 salvos to do this, not counting for the enemy's shield recharge rate.
There's probably an error in my calculating or reading the chart, right? What's the deal?
