Heavy infantry supposedly does better vs ground units. Any place I can see how much better?

Thanks

None that I could find

Makes me wonder if there is a difference at all. Devs a bit of clarity please?

Unit strengths and weakness do indeed affect combat, if you tap on a unit at the factory or barracks you are able to see their various strengths and weaknesses and if you tap the info button in the bottom right there's a table detailing these

Thanks Mojawk but I believe the question was more about numerical figures. Such as a percentage modifier for attack against a unit type (and/or defense?), and when attacking a player (or alien) does the game engine specifically target troops based on their type? E.g., if I send equal numbers of say light, heavy and ground against the same, do they all attack the enemy units they are strongest against first, or...what? I notice if I attack say a level 7 alien, I always lose light infantry first. This suggests those are targeted first. And the last "saucer" unit is always the last that I kill. This suggests an order of kill being light, heavy, ground, air. In a realistic combat situation, units would attack the units they kill better, meaning you should see kills and losses to all unit types (depending on the units employed on either side). I hope that explains..
