Powersword wargear vs Chainsword

Da ich gerade einen interessanten Post im offi. dow2 Forum abgegeben habe, dachte ich, dass ich ihn auch hier mal reinstellen könnte.
Es geht um die allseits bekannte Diskussion, ob der Force Commander auf T1 mit dem Powersword ausgerüstet werden sollte oder nicht.
Diesbezüglich habe ich einfach mal ein paar Fakten aneinander gereiht und Zahlenbeispiele durchgerechnet.

Some facts about plasmapistol, bolt pistol, chainsword and powersword.

First of all: pp vs bp

pp deals LESS basic dps than the boltpistol. The advantages the pp gets over the boltpistol are his multiplicators.
the boltpistol deals:
90% vs Heros,
100% vs Inf and
67% vs heavy_inf. (~10dps)

The PP deals just
75% vs heros,
100% vs inf and
150% vs heavy_inf. (~20dps)

This tells us, that we only (mainly) want to use the PP vs heavyinf.

Second: Chainsword vs powersword

The only real "advantage" the Chainsword got, is its 30% for a specialattack (compared to the ps 20%). So you can say, that the chainsword is a "slightly" better weapon for selfdefense.

Chainsword deals:
70% vs Heros (27.4dps)
100% vs inf (39.2dps)
100% vs h_inf (39.2dps)
and its specialattack occurs with 30% and deals 38dmg (same multiplicators as named above) duration 2.8s+delay 1.2s

Powersword deals:
100% vs heros (50dps) - interesting double herodmg
100% vs inf (50dps) - slightly more
130% vs h_inf (65dps) - some more
and its specialattack occurs with 20% and deals 47 dmg (same multiplicators as named above and same aoe as chainsword) duration 2.0s+delay 1.2s

Now some facts about "battlecry":

Many guys missunderstand "battlecry"s bonus. Battlecry doesnt only give you a 100% specialattackrate and knockback immunity vs ability knockback (not weapon/charge knockback), it also gives you a plain 10% dmgbuff around the hero for 15secs and a 35 radius. The "enhanced" dmgbuff of the powersword is 15% instead of 10%. Now many of you guys may say: "Bah, who cares about 10% or 15% more dmg? That isnt such a great argument for/against the powersword/battlecry"

But keep one thing in mind! This 10%(15%) dmgbuff applies with "EVERY" specialattack the fc performs and it stacks!!
And keep following calculation in mind:
Since the specialattack of the chainsword takes 4+x seconds (duration 2.8s + delay 1.2s + x time) you can only stack up to 3 dmgbuffs (=30%).
The powerswords specialattack takes only 3.2+x seconds (duration 2s +delay 1.2s + x time), so you can stack up to 4 buffs (=60%)

What does this tells us? If we are confronted with huge masses of melees, who are not gonna run away from our fc all the time and we got some melees on our own (f.e. Asms) or ranged troops near our fc, we really want to use the powersword over the chainsword. Too bad the dmgbuffs durations wont restart each time a buff stacks, so you will only receive the 60% dmgbuff for a short time (best case: 2,2secs) , but most of the time you will get an 30% or 45% buff compared to an 20%/30%

Thanks for your patience.
