Just a random observation

[Lusche]

I'm tired but can not sleep, so was browsing through the numbers and came to note...

...that in the  past 5 hours of Aces High prime time from 6pm to 11pm EDT, vehicles were holding a share of 64% of all kills and deaths in the Late War Main Arena.

Aces Low

Does not surprise me. 

[SPKmes]

that's cause this map has the base known as V base 135

[JOACH1M]

It's trinity, the map is perfect for GV's.

[Bruv119]

a shocking truth   

did that include the soft gun dweebs aswell? 

[Noir]

that is just sad. Spawn camping creates an inflated number of kills thougt.

[Lusche]

No, only vehicles, excluding LVt's and PT boats.


And of course it's because of the V135 spawn. The last time Trinity was up, the 135 spawn battle was largely absent because the bases around it had been captured. Total GV quota: 35%.
This time the 135 spawn battle is 'working', and the total GV quota since it came up again 44 hours ago is 55%.

So yes, that single camp is absolutely inflating the numbers. But that should not dilute the fact that the ground game has become more and more important over the years:


(Note: G2A kills do include ship/field gun)

Oh M-M-M-My!

[Chilli]

Now would be a good time to ask for new tanks??? 

Good observation.  On that note, a number of wishes have been discussed that are directed at changing game aspects of the "ground war".  They range from making them more necessary in the base capture / defense role, to improvement in terrain physics. 

OR, are the numbers biased by the amount of time that Trinity stays on the server compared to all the rest of the maps.  A floating win the war percentage might actually tilt the stats back to more heavily in favor of 

The main problem with ground war MA, as compared to air war MA, is that there are no red dots or dar bars saying there is a nice group of fellas over here in tanks, and that might be a fun experience.   Folks that are "in the know" go straight to the v135 spawn for example.  This may flash a base, and besides any intel that you might uncover from the  country channel, you are pretty clueless as a casual player of where to find  ACTION.

That is just my random rant

GV's are for girls

Bruv got owned by Redbull by the way

Kills per hour in GV at places like 135 are very high. I think it might be misleading to assume that number of kills is proportional to number of players using a GV or plane. So while 33% of the kills are being racked up in GVs, the number of hours logged in GV vs planes may be significantly less than 33%.

and the % of players involved

It is. Average K/H in vehicle mode is about 2 times as high as in fighter mode.
But of course that doesn't change the fact that GV usage and importance is increasing over the years, it's just another way to measure it. Time spent in attack & bomber modes are relatively stable over the past years, time in vehicle mode increasing and time in fighter mode is in steady decline. But especially the latter one is a trend almost as old as AH itself.

So what you are saying is we need to stop adding tanks and vehicles. 

I agree.
