Meet Mr. Average of LWTour 129!
(This topic is a waste product of my upcoming AH stats 2010... only 2 months to go)
This is Mr. Average:
He spent 10.5h in fighter mode, 4h in attack mode, 3.8h in bombers and 4.3 hours in GVs, for a total of 22.6 hours.
Of course only he knows how much additional time he was wasting in the tower, in the lobby or logging in & out trying to get into a locked LWO...
The average duration of a fighter sortie was 9 minutes, an attack sortie averaged at almost 10 minutes but the vehicle sorties lasted only just under 6 minutes. If we assume a full formation at every bomber mission, the average sortie duration would have been 19 minutes.
He got 53 kills in fighter & attack mode and got credit for 3 kills in bombers and 26 kills in vehicles. About 20 more kills did never count, because he was in wrong scoring mode, used a manned ack or was already dangling in a chute
He discoed once every 10 hours of playing time, but of course we do not know if for regular connection troubles or by hitting alt-f4...
Mr. Average captured 0.31 bases by GV (M3, SdKfz, Jeep) and 0.12 bases by goon.
He landed only 1 in 3 fighter sorties, and got a kill only in every other sortie - partly because only 3.4% of his bullets hit the target. That shows that getting a mere 2-kills landing message actually IS an accomplishment for him.
Most players are like him: A acquiescent target for a selected few of AH "vets". If we combine fighter & attack mode kills & deaths into a single stat (so that "top fighter K/D" pilots with only 1% of their sorties do not skew the statistic) we find:
Only 26% of all players active during a tour reached a K/D of 1
Less than 10% managed to kill at least 2 enemies for every death of their own. A K/D of 5 was reached only by about 1% and a mere 0.14% went to K/D 10 and beyond.
All categories combined, 10% of the players had made more than 50% of all kills. About 90 of them provided by our averaging friend.
Mr. Average... you never make it to the front page, nobody praises your 1337 skill on the bulletin board, and more often than not you get ridiculed by us AH snobs for your alleged lack of skill...
But today, we salute you!
(This is based on all "active" players in tour 129. An active player is one that has killed or has been killed at least once. Someone who downloaded AH, spawned a P-51 but didn't manage to get airborne is not factored in. In fact, I will never know that he was there at all.)
