I just had a stack of 'em made up for all my different troops and vehicles.
Some checking was needed, but not all that much.

<gamer geek>
Absolutely. Let's assume a SpaceMan is firing at another SpaceMan with
penalties and bonuses that completely cancel each other out.
A UR4 will hit a full 50% of the time (SpaceMan skill is 1d6). A UR3 will hit
66.66667% of the time, 16% more often.
Assuming a hit, a 1d6+3 will kill a SpaceMan 66.6667% of the time (SpaceMan
armor is 5, which you have to exceed to kill him, therefore you need to roll a
3 or higher to kill him). A 1d6 will kill a SpaceMan 16.66667% of the time.
So, you'll hit 16.66667% more often, but you'll kill 50% less often. That is a
significant difference.
In case you're wondering about combined fire and vehicles, the +3s go a long
way towards adding up to penetrating vehicle armor.
I didn't have to look any of these numbers up.

And I'm not proud of that.
