Some questions from a newb

I have been playing SWTA for about a month now and just started playing BA. I have a few questions that hopefully someone can answer about spring.

Are there different types of damage in this game, for instance BA? Does one unit counter another like swordsman > pikeman > horses > swordsmen etc. like in other games, or is damage fixed no matter who gives it?

I found a unit guide for AA and cant really find one for BA. Which brings up another question. Is there a guide or link somewhere that shows stats per unit? Site range, attack, health (what kind of damage if there is different kinds) And almost equally importantly how big a explosion they make when they blow up or are self destructed?

BA has special damages, but the situations that use it are not always obvious.

For number crunching, go here.

AA Unit guide is still very applicable to BA, since the roles of most units haven't been changed too much

Generally, most units do similar damage to one another. Some exceptions off the top of my head:

Commanders take extra (1.5?) damage from LLTs.

Commanders take extra damage from Snipers, as do super-units.

Tach (blue lasers, Annihilator, Penetrator, DDM) do half-damage to commanders (?) and double damage to super-units.

oh and never build SAMs or pack0s because they do shit damage and even suck at their job, anti swarm.

Generally Spring allows assigning a separate damage value for each target. Most mods don't use them much but AFAIK Caydr loved them so all AA derivatives will probably contain some of it.
