Vet Abus damage: 48 * 0.75(multiplier vs. light cav) = 36 damage for around 230 vill seconds. Takes 7 shots to kill 1 dragoon, i.e. 24.5 seconds. Efficiency: 0.156 damage/vill second.
Vet Skirms: (18 * 1.5 (multiplier vs. light cav)) * 0.8 (goon range resist) = 21.6 damage for around 170 vill seconds. Takes 12 shots to kill 1 dragoon, i.e. 36 seconds. Efficiency: 0.127 damage/vill second.
As you can see, Abus guns are actually far more efficient than skirms vs. goons, as they have a higher damage output per vill second and faster time to kill. In the fortress age, their ranged HP is also exactly the same.
did u take into account rof and abus 0.5x multiplier vs cav?
ROF nerf also probably has many variables which we can't account for and potentially changing game mechanics overall as well,
for ex. if x unit has 2 rof and y unit takes 7 seconds to kill x unit, that means x unit fires 3 shots before dying, now if you change the rof of x unit to 2.5 it means it needs 7.5 sec to fire 3 shots but it dies at 7th second, so it basically misses one entire shot which theoretically is a huge nerf compared to minor stat adjustment. Ofcourse the reality is much more complex than this example...

neither does 0.75 vs a counter unit imho but thats just me
Well abus have such a high attack and that siege damage... If they didn't have that kind of multiplier they would absolutely rape goons

The main issue abus have is when they get kind of "caught" by goons. Like if you don't actually have much stuff to cover them, goons will trade ok, because abus have low hp and they have issues to shoot at short range. But this case shouldn't really happen

Abus gun are getting nerfed even further after 0.5 vs artillery instead of 0.75 on top of rof nerf.
Otto was only good on RE bcz maps were bad. Now on EP they are just avg on tp maps against slow civs.
Otto need to be compensated elsewhere if not on jan/abus,
maybe decrease vil train time
Or trainable spahi
or make "team cav hit points" card available.
