this is an analysis of the cost-DPS ratio of weapons considering their range classes.
i will edit this post to add the other weapon shops, and hopefully some more interesting aspects will reveal.
to this point i have only worked out the stats for "weapon factory 1". but the analysis already reveals some interesting things, as well as the fact that the weapons are incredibly well worked out by the creators of the battle tank maps. very professionl indeed. check it out.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cost - the first purchase cost
DPS - the first purchase DPS
fcost - the final cost (with upgrade) [fcost = cost + upgradecost]
fDPS - the final DPS (with upgrade)
R - the gold/DPS ratio [ for example, an "R" value of 15 means when purchasing the gun, you spend 15 gold for 1 DPS ]
fR - the final gold/DPS ratio (with upgrade)
range - obviously the range
class - an attempt to categorize every weapon of similar range in a class, to facilitate comparison
----------range class A: 0-750 range [melee]
----------range class B: 751-950 range [average]
----------range class C: 951-1050 range [above average]
----------range class D: 1051-1300 range [high ranged]
