Interesting odds if distort weapons become Strength D.
Heavy Wraith cannon was S10 AP1. The new gun, just like the old, hits on a 3+. On a 1 or 2, the shot does nothing.
New cannon, after hitting, on a 1, it does nothing.
On a 2-5, it does D3 hull points, which you can take cover, invul or jink against.
On a 6, pick it up with no save of any kind.
If a venom doesn't jink (just 5+ invul)
A wraith cannon has a ~27% chance of single shotting a venom.
Firing both cannons, it's a 47% chance to kill a venom.
Oddly enough, old wraith cannons, wouldn't be all that different. S10 AP1 auto pens AV10, rolling 4+ to explode (+2 for AP1, +1 for open topped).
Odds of both S10 AP1 cannons killing a AV10 with 5+ invul is 40%.
Strength D is slightly better against AV10 skimmers, but only slightly so.
Strength D vs Grotesques isn't all the different either.
S10 and S-D both instant kill a T5 model, so the only change is the 1:6 chance to ignore cover.
The moral of the story is that if you're running AV10 or AV11, and T5 or less, you're not likely to notice the difference between S10 AP1 and Strength D Shooting.
