(Doing my best Hawk impression)

Stats for the first day this week:

The Spitfire Mk IX has 50 kills and has been killed 35 times against the N1K2.

The Typhoon IB has 25 kills and has been killed 12 times against the N1K2.

Which is interesting to me since this is statisticly uneven seems much more even than Kurland last week which was statisticly even and seemed like a rout of the LW.

But like you said ... it's still early yet. In a low population arena like the CT ... even one player's stats can have a strong effect on the overall stats the first day. I'm 6/1 in the Tiffie vs the N1K right now (6/4 in the Spit - got stupid a couple of times). That could change for the better or worse over the next week depending on:

1: My opponent's skill

2: My own skill/SA

3: Random factors (discos/technical/just plain sillyness)

I'm 44 and 0 in a ship gun... what the stats for a ship gun vs everything?

Grits · « **Reply #7 on:** April 10, 2004, 03:08:17 PM »

Heh, I saw that when you landed those 44, just about fell off my chair!

Arlo · « **Reply #8 on:** April 10, 2004, 04:26:47 PM »

I'm 33 and 0 in a field gun vs. LVTs and PTs.

(Oh cod ... and I went and said it in public)

As of 6:45 PM Central:

The Spitfire Mk IX has 91 kills and has been killed 66 times against the N1K2.

The Typhoon IB has 47 kills and has been killed 19 times against the N1K2.

As I said before, this set is statisticly far more lopsided than the stats of Kurland, yet this set I dont for a second feel like the Allies have vastly superior equipment. Why is that?

In this set I wont hesitate to engage 2-3 Spits/Tiffies alone as I think I still at least have a fighting chance. In Kurland I wouldnt engage unless it was at least 2 v 1 in my favor and even that did not guarantee survival.

How can a set be statisticly even, yet seem like an unwinable fight, and a lopsided one against you seem like you might even have the upper hand? I would be interested to know what others think.

Turning seems to make it even.

I think the N1K matchup with the silly spitty is a good one and like grits I had no problem this past weekend jumping into a 2 on 1 or even a 3 on 1.

I'd like to see some plane sets created only for the CT.

That is what we are trying to do VWE. I have been offline all weekend with no cable at the house so today and tonight will be the tweaks based on things that have been posted in the Staff board.

Personally I don't put a lot of faith in stats like these since they don't tell the whole story. The few times I logged in to the CT this past weekend I saw a 2:1 allied #'s gap. Personally I consider the N1k and Spit IX to be fairly close in terms of performance (this is a hunch I haven't checked speed/climb charts). However even a good N1k pilot is going to have his hands very full against 2 spits unless there is a very large quality and/or experience gap in the pilots.
