Can dog followers gain levels?

Like I answered earlier, I think they do level up. They has same experience for lvl as player do, and you see white text on your chatbox if they gain lvl.

Edit: Hard lvl up dogs, better choose rats

How does work bonus ranged damage perk with crafting bonuses ?

for example : avenger 12-15 damage with 3x brd (+7 dmg) and +10% max damage
my max weapon dmg will be :
15 + 7 + 10% = 24,2 or 15 + 10% + 7 = 23,5 ?
what is first, brd or craft bonus ?

I think Kilgore just added
dmgMin = attack.DmgMin + attack.BonusDmg + attack.CraftBonusDmg;
dmgMax = attack.DmgMax + attack.BonusDmg + attack.CraftBonusDmg;

Does Doctor 200% have same formula as Small Guns 200% for Needler Pistol deterioration?

It seems like when using Doctor (higher skill %) Deterioration is faster than using Small Guns at same %

Tested with Small Gunner and with my Doctor characters.

Is it true that burst with Minigun on distance with 1 hex will be 30 hits rounds, but on distance >= 2 hex will be 10 ?

Is it true that burst with Minigun on distance with 1 hex will be 30 hits rounds, but on distance >= 2 hex will be 10 ?

yes, here is some explanation of how burst works

ALL ABOUT BURSTS

Bursts, with the exception of shotgun bursts, generally fire 3 volleys: center, left and right. This is to simulate a "cone" effect at range. There is an initial volley of rounds/6 which travels down the center, a left volley of (rounds+1)/3 that travels slightly off-center to the left, and a right volley of rounds/3 that travels slightly off-center to the right. The remaining bullets in the burst will go down the center in a second volley (rounds - rounds/6 - (rounds+1)/3 - rounds/3). The initial, left and right volleys are integer-divided and thus rounded down. However, the initial volley will always contain 1 bullet at minimum. This is more or less the vanilla burst behavior of FO1/FO2, adapted for FOnline.

The initial volley is necessary because without it you'll literally shoot under the legs of someone who's one hex away from you. Now, let's say you're aiming at someone far away but a critter is blocking the path (at range). The blocker will absorb the second center volley (total rounds - rounds/6 - (rounds+1)/3 - rounds/3) and the guy you're aiming at will take the initial volley (rounds/6).

At a range of one hex, the blocker would take both the center, left and right lines (rounds - rounds/6) and the guy you're aiming at would eat the initial volley (rounds/6). If you're bursting a target at one hex, it's reasonable to assume that all three volleys and therefore all bullets will connect with your target.

So, what does this mean in a practical fight? It means that even if your gun bursts 40 bullets, the expectation is that roughly 1/3 of the fired rounds will connect with the intended target at range, assuming no misses.

Example: The Avenger Minigun fires 40 rounds.
Initial Volley: 40/6 = 6.6667, rounded down => 6 rounds
Left Volley: 41/3 = 13.6667, rounded down => 13 rounds
Right Volley: 40/3 = 13.3333, rounded down => 13 rounds
Second Center Volley: 40 - 6 - 13 - 13 = 8 rounds

The Avenger Minigun bursts 6 + 8 = 14 rounds at a ranged target.
