How long did this one take you?
Very difficult to tell, as it was just a byproduct of a bigger and more complex process. The data had already been there, was just another idea to filter process and present it in a different way. I was originally looking for a way to determine the "dominance factor" for individual players, which was originally something I did for fighter planes and tanks. And this "dominance factor" is in turn a try to find out if any notable changes had happened to the pilot vs pilot balance (vets vs noobs, butchers vs baby seals) over the last 10 years.
Basically I started with that stuff more than a year ago.
and are you planning on making a big one for the year?
If everything works out as planned , this one will be much different from my previous ones. Those have become kinda boring, there is not that much change beyond "...the La-7 went 4 places up in the usage chart. And now for the newest entry in the AH hit parade... ".
So as I hate routine work, I plan something different, not limited to this year but selected stuff from 2001 to 2011. "Change & Constancy".
Unfortunately real life currently doesn't care much for my "plans", so I just have to see how much I can really commit myself to this
