How the scales are calculated

Armor — average frontal armor, kinetic and HEAT; 100 is the best value among all units in the game.
Firepower — salvo damage: one burst of every weapon in the default loadout with its strongest ammo; 100 is the maximum in the Helicopters category.
Range — longest firing range against ground or air targets; 100 is the maximum in the Helicopters category.
Speed — road speed, flight speed for aircraft; 100 is the maximum in the Helicopters category.
Stealth — inverse of the visibility factor: the harder the unit is to spot from afar, the higher; 100 is the best value among all units in the game.
Survivability — hit points; 100 is the maximum in the Helicopters category.

Data comes from the game files, for the default loadout. A dash means the unit has no such value (no armor or weapons).
