Lusches AH Stats Megathread

[Lusche]

The first results are trickling in... today:


I. Where did they play? Time spent in the main arenas



and for comparison, the data from 2012



Notes:
Based on the scores all 'active pilots' in each tour, with 'active' meaning having at least one kill or death.

The only other arena being open 24/7 is the DA, but no stats are available for this. My subjective observation is that the DA had taken a big loss in (relative) numbers after WT opened the US server early in 2013. Which would make a lot of sense, as DA lake "regulars" (there were many of them which did hardly ever play in the MAs) are probably finding the WT way to set up battle quite attractive



There was a problem with the WW1 arena stats for two tours, so I had to interpolate the data for them.


II. What did they do? Mode utilisation by arena

Time spend in modes by arena:


and for comparison again, the numbers of 2012:




Note: There are no stats for manned guns.




III. What did they do? II - LW Arena History



As you can see, the "rise of GV" that's been much talked about in the past months ain't as dramatic as perceived. Yes, things have changed a lot over the years, but the last significant increase happened with the introduction of the WASD control system and new commander position in 2011.

Awesome

Lusche your data points to a decrease in fighter by 30% and an increase in gv's so there is a significant "trend" shown.

For whatever reason folks are flying fighters much less and driving GV's more.

I'm not debating that in general. My point is that there was a lto of talk about a recent(=past few months) trend, which doesn't exist. The last big change was in 2011 when GV controls were simply made much more accessible.

[Zoney]

OK.  My mistake

[Tank-Ace]

I'm seeing an overall decrease in fighters of ~20%, from '00-'14

And maybe 5-7% increase in GV'ing from '03-'14


Also, I suspect that of the players who have left, a disproportionate amount were in the "fighter" group. This would make GV'ing represent a larger portion of the whole group, and thus make it appear as though GV'ers are increasing at the expense of fighters, when it may just be that more fighter pilots are leaving.

[Zoney]

A reduction from 60% to 40% is a 33% decrease or difference.

[Lusche]

Let's not forget that fighter can and also often are being flown in Attack Mode as well.

The next graph combines Fighter & Attack modes:

A reduction from 60% to 40% is a 33% decrease or difference.

Ahh... I see. I thought you meant it as in the drop in fighter useage was 33% of total.

Curious if u could draw up a graph of the kill to death ratio so that newer players like myself have a line of what is below average, average, above average and elite. Thanks, all this info is much appreciated

Some quick numbers will have to do for the moment:

Tour 167, fighter mode scores. Percentage thresholds for each category



meaning the players in the top 1% for K/D had a K/D of 8.5 or higher, the top 10% in terms of kills/sortie at a K/S of at least 1.14 or higher and so on.

Based on all active pilots in that tour, including 2 weekers and the (relatively small number of) regulars not flying in fighter mode at all.

What happened to the last percent in LW?

[LCADolby]

Snailman, have you seriously accounted for every person in that tour?!
That looks like a lot of work!

Mind you, it gives me a fuzzy feeling being above some stats, so thanks for the work you put into that.

I accounted for every pilot ID getting at least one kill or death. And it's less work that you may think (at leats for a single tour), once you have automated it. I don't look up every pilot's score personally and copy it into my notebook by hand

Why not?
