With the Island terrain, if the CHog wasn't perked, I have little doubt it would be up to 25% of arena kills this tour. It's awfully convenient to skip Tour 15 in stats comparisons. And expect the Spit IX and Niki to be reduced quite a bit this tour, and the D-Hog, Hellcat, and Seafire to be up.

The increase in Spits, as best I can tell, for the last couple of tours is due to the massive influx of people from AW (where, I understand, the Spit IX is the uberplane) and is totally unrelated to the perking of aircraft recently.

I expect something a little different on the NDIsles map Torgo. Keep an eye on LVT usage.

Though... we should see some more carrier fighter use... I don't believe it is going to be the jump we normally see. LVT use will go through the roof.

And I do believe that the CHog would see the numbers you guestemated this tour if it were unperked. Anyone that argues against that hasn't been awake for the last 6 months. Its the achiles' heel of the anti-chog-perking supporters and we hate it

Deja how did the total number of fighter v fighter kills turn out Tour 14 vs Tour 16?

Did they go up or down?

Just interested if you already have the info, don't do a big project to find out or anything.

Thx.

I'll have to check when I get home.

I believe they stayed about the same. It didn't look good until 1.07 came out and some rather unique (though not completely unique

) ids started showing up in the MA. The new player ranking went from 1400 to 2000 in 3 days.

The main thing to get out of that... if HTC wants to increase diversity and avoid single aircraft domination... introduce new planes as often as you can. Pure and simple.

In the current format there really are a fairly limited number of unperked AC that would really spread out numbers more.

The Ki-84 would do the trick, I think :-)

So what percentage of the hordes of new people are ex-AWs? While they are a component, most of them seem REALLY REALLY new.

I've been trying to coax them out of their obsession for driving (and killing) PT boats, and to stop wasting Bish numbers by gunning for each other. Gunning a bomber is kind of a waste of resources itself, but the people on the channel begging for PT boat gunners blows my mind :-).

And the CV is seen less as a tool to take fields, than as a tool to cause enemy PT boats to spawn at enemy fields so that they can be destroyed easily.

I really hate the lecturing that some do in the MA about people not constantly furthering their countries strategic goals, as I tend to screw around furballing and vulching myself, but things are kinda getting out of hand..I've seen Bish losing fields left and right with 20 more players than any other country, because half the bish are in a CV group gunning or in PTs, slaughtering enemy PTs at some field where they aren't even beginning to kill hangars.
