Tank Hunting in 6th Ed Part 2

Continuing from my previous post, lets look at the small blasts like the Devil Dog's Melta Cannon, or the Plasma cannon/Executioner Cannon.  Here are the pictures for hitting Land Raider and Rhino sized targets



So Land Raider sized targets are hit on deviations out to 4" while Rhinos are hit on Deviations out to 3"

So for Landraider sized targets:

Phit = Prob Direct Hit + Prob Deviation * (Prob Dev lt= 4)

For BS3 this is 

       Phit = 0.333 + 0.667 * ((0.03 + 0.06 + 0.08 + 0.11 + 0.14 +0.17) = 0.72

For BS 4 this is

Phit = 0.333 + 0.667 * ((0.03 + 0.06 + 0.08 + 0.11+ 0.14 + 0.17 + 0.14) = 0.81

And for Rhino sized targets:

Phit = Prob Direct Hit + Prob Deviation * (Prob Dev lt= 3)

For BS3 this is 

       Phit = 0.333 + 0.667 * ((0.03 + 0.06 + 0.08 + 0.11 + 0.14) = 0.61

For BS 4 this is

Phit = 0.333 + 0.667 * ((0.03 + 0.06 + 0.08 + 0.11+ 0.14 + 0.17) = 0.72

The Devil Dog is looking better and better -- at 12" you're looking at a 72 % chance of hitting a Land Raider, a 58% chance of Penning it and a 50% chance of killing it outright for an overall Pk of 22%  compared to a Vendetta firing all 3 lascannon with an overall Pk of  12%
Against Predators you have a 61% chance of hitting, a 72% chance of penning and a 50% chance of killing it for an overall Pk of 22%

This is great news! What would it be for some Ork Tankbustas?
