Whatever Urchin's motive, I find stats like these interesting. Thanks for posting them.

It's odd how much "perception" this is. It really boils down to what group of people you happen to be fighting that day... or for most of the week. If you fight cv to base battles or if you fight high alt base defense... or even base attack.

The numbers have stayed pretty consistant. The LW planes are actually a little lower than average this tour, with a slight increase in the usage of Russian planes (esp the Yak-9u).

Scroll over on my fighter vs fighter stats... I break them down by country (since tour 39).

Mini, is it possible to break the stats down by MA side? I.E. Bish, Rooks, Knights? I've always wondered if the three sides flew different planes (always seems the same to me, but some folks swear by it).

No, if you try you get a "coming soon" return.

It would be nice if they just enabled this for "all models" with a single report generated once a day similar to the "all models vs all models" current setup.

That would be useful. Our squad was going make a policy of switching to whatever country had the low numbers at the end of a tour, but then realized we couldn't figure that out.

I stick it in there for a couple reasons. First, the icon says "spit" (same reason I stick the seafire in the "spit" category). Second, for most people they are for all intents and purposes the same plane. An La7 going against any spit fights the same way, it has the same advantages and disadvantages over both. In some cases, a plane will have an advantage over a spit 5 that disappears when it faces a spit 9, but that it fairly rare.

Urchin · « **Reply #40 on:** January 17, 2004, 05:25:33 PM »

No, they aren't the same, but they are very very similar in the "grand scheme" of the planeset. Most planes are have a higher top speed, most planes don't turn as well. The spit 9 has a huge advantage over the Spit 5 in acceleration and climb rate, but that is the biggest difference, in my opinion.

Urchin,

I was comenting to my roommate the other night on that very thing. The Spit IX feels very much like an upengined Spit V and the Seafire is, for all intents and purposes, a Spit V. Then you have the Spit I and Spit XIV, both of which feel very different from the Spit IX/Spit V/Sea II.

Mini D · « **Reply #43 on:** January 17, 2004, 11:55:17 PM »

Being a P-40 flier, there's a big difference between the spit V and IX. A P-40 actually stands a chance against a Spit IX that doesn't know how to use his speed advantage properly. The P-40 will actually out turn it. It will not do anything better than the Spit V.

It's kinda odd how perspectives on planes vary based on what you fly. I don't find the La-7 particularly bothersome when I fly the P-40 or F6F. It is a nightmare to fight when flying an F4u. When flying the P-40, the early war rides are the toughest. Zekes, hurricanes and SpitV/Seafires are very difficult to compete with.

Mini D,

That is absolutely true. Flying the Mossie I don't fear Spit IXs or N1K2s, but La-7s = death.
