Usefulness of the bigger mounts

[Phoenix-D]

Well, using a Quantum V for comparision:

Normal mount 100 damage, 40kt
Large mount 200 damage, 60kt
Heavy mount 300 damage, 80kt
Massive mount 500 damage, 120kt

Using equal tonnage of all of them or 240kt of weapons, so:

6 Normal, 400 damage
4 Large, 800 damage
3 Heavy, 900 damage
2 Massive, 1000 damage

Using a 50% to-hit chance and comparing Large with
Heavy:

large probabilites and damage:
0: .0625 (0)
1: .25 (200)
2: .375 (400)
3: .25 (600)
4: .0625 (800)
average hits: 2 average damage: 400

heavy probabilities and damage:
0: .125 (0)
1: .375 (300)
2: .375 (600)
3: .125 (900)
average hits: 1.5 average damage: 450
