Little question about a definition:

[Lusche]

In the light of the recent GV changes and resulting arguments here on the BBS and in game I'm taking another look at the stats & numbers.
In that context I came across the term "dedicated GV driver".

Now I wonder: How much has someone to spend in tanks in AH2 to be called dedicated? Or a bomber pilot in buffs? At least 50% of his time? More than 2/3rd of his time? Or something like that AND at least XX hours minimum? I'm just looking for some kind of simple criteria for analyzing total area scores to see how many "dedicated" tankers/buff pilots there really are in a tour, but I'm unsure where to place the threshold value.





And just for the record: Posting this thread did cost me a Tempest and 35 fighter perks

For bombers.

For GV's.

I guess there is no real hard threshold standard other spending the majority of their play in a GV/fighter/bomber/etc.

And what kind of benchmark is that?   

[Stogie]

Maybe there has to be levels of dedication.

Truly dedicated GVer would spend no time in anything else, but a moderately dedicated may spend 50% of his time in something else.  One could go on I suppose but I need a nap now.

This just begs for a pie chart. Sorry Couldn't resist.

Well, now I don't have to do that anymore

Mine.

I wouldn't use time spent in GV as the only criteria to define a dedicated GVer. Also might want to include number of sorties logged as well.

I consider myself a dedicated 38 driver. Not only are most of my times spent in 38s- but I also log a greater number of sorties in it as well.

Don't forget the tower sitters category. That seems to be where I'm spending most of my time lately..............

I don't see how # of sorties adds anything to it, as the sortie lengths are very different between individual sorties as well as between the different categories. Looking at the time % really shows ... well, what a player is actually doing in Aces High.

Unfortunately the time spent in tower isn't recorded anywhere 

[phatzo]

A simple majority of time spent in that catagory.

What if a player logs majority of time in Spitfires but has a greater number of sorties logged in 109s (with more kills flying 109s but also more deaths). Which ride is he dedicated to?

I would say there are many ways in determining who is dedicated to what. Here is an example:

I am a dedicated P38 driver because I log many sorties as well as a lot of time flying it. I get most of my kills in it and I also die in it the most. I also am dedicated because I love the history. It is also my favorite plane to fly in game.

belial myself dr7 i think would be a good average for "dedicated" tankers for mysekf its about 80% of the time i spend in ah.

Looks like part of the criteria for being considered a dedicated forum poster to me.
