Math regarding the Reworked Letherface's Chainsaw

Ok so I'm really bored and told myself 'Hey, maybe you should do some math to see how efficent is the reworked Leatherface's chainsaw going to be?' and that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Let's start simple. Take this scenario: In a straight line, is it more efficent to use the Chainsaw's sweep or just walk with the 4.6 ms for 9.1 seconds?

Let's see what the Chainsaw would do.

for the first 2.1 seconds, time needed for the chainsaw to charge without using any add-ons, Bubba moves at 86% or 3.45m/s, then lets assume that the chainsaw sweep goes on for 7 seconds (hypothetically) with 5.29m/s. The math looks like this:

2.1*3.45+7*5.29=44.275m

So, using your Chainsaw sweep, including the charging time, without being modified by any add-ons should cover ~44.275 meters.

Now just walking normally for 9.1 seconds, Bubba being a 4.6 ms killer, he should cover:

4.6*9.1=41.86 meters

Yeah, 41.86 meters is what an average 115% (4.6 ms) killer would cover, walking in a straight line for 9.1 seconds, but using the Bubba's Chainsaw you can travel ~44.275 meters or even more if you use specific add-ons!! (probably)

Last note: Keep in mind that I do not have a solid source of evidence of what the Chainsaw sweep's time until it stops is. I just assumed based on the devs' blog post's video of the reworked Leatherface that it should be +7 seconds at max.

    You lose charges chainsawing, you lose no charges walking

    good point, but lets say that you go for a sweep, then wait for the charges while you walk with 4.6 ms and this cycle goes on and on.

    But comparing just ONE sweep vs normal walking, I bet the chainsaw sweep wins, and helps you cover a greater distance

    After sweeping for 3 charges you have like a 3 - 4 second cooldown where you can't move while walking has no cooldown. I still think that walking is faster.
