Well to discuss on the quadgun, lets do the maths.

Imagine a AV12 flyer comes in, with BS4 lets say you do 3.5 hits.
Then he jinkes half of those so you have 2 hits left (to be generous).
You then have a 33% chance of doing one HP so you actually do less then one.
and as you have AP4 you get no bonus.

So to be generous lets say you do one HP a turn.

With a storm if you go with MM and LC you do 0.9 hits on both weapons which comes to lets say 0.5 for each weapon.

Then you have for the MM 2d6 rolls for penetration and have 0.5 chance of a penetrating hit on the LC.
So you do maybe 0.70 penetrating hits but these have half a chance of blowing it up.
Then you have the rest of the weapons on infantry, screamerstar/seerstar/Draigostar/tervigons........

You are right, my maths were not perfect, on a phone it was hard

Now i can do it better.

Lets really compare the AA capacity, both the storm and the Aegis bring also something else (transport and toughness for the Storm and a cover for the Aegis).
I propose not to take into account jinx at first for either, and then we can use jinx as well to compare again.

1)The Quadgun
It brings 4BS4 (if manned correctly) twin linked shots so 3.5555 hits.
These go into 0.59 glancing hits, 0.494 penetrating hits that dont explode it and 0.0987 penetrating hits that explode it.
So if you say that a boom is worth 3 HP, that makes an average of 0.494+0.59+0.0987*3 = 1.38 HP

So on average if the opposing flyer did not jinx he takes 1.38 HP with a probability of exploding of less then 10%...
