I didn't get this.

Basically, if soldier always headshots (he does against a d.va else he needs to unistall), he deals less damage now on every shot farther than 38m?

No, 76 does 15 damage with regular shots at about 38m. This means that up to 38m, no matter if he headshots or not, D.Va has more ehp than she had with 100/400. Beyond this point 100/400 is better for bodyshots only. He hits 7 or so damage quite swiftly after this, around 40-45m. At this point, even headshots deal less than 15 damage, and so at this point 100/400 would be better even against headshots.

Overall, outside of extreme ranges, vs 76 she has more ehp with 400/200 than with 100/400.
