They are a bit of a pain to deploy.

The mechanism is, but they can only be edited via source mode, and they cause problems for links that point to a specific point on a page, like we do with the links to the abilities or paint job pages.

So in short, while they look nice, it is rarely worth the effort.

As for the formulas, they are written in LaTEX, a computer language designed for displaying math formulas. There is actually a script hidden in the weapons upgrade tables that does all of these calculations, and I wrote that, too.
