Lusches AH Stats Megathread

[Latrobe]

Very awesome Lusche! Even after I completely destroyed my rank last tour by upping a mossi 50 times to dump the ammo and auger, I still failed to drop below 70% on anything. 


My Kill Points were better than 99.65% of anyone else, and Rank was 95.70%

Just starting to go through all the stats........very cool stuff, lusch.

In two years, I still haven't finished exploring the corners of the sim and it shows in my skewed stats.

Sorry about the sidetrack.

Why would you so horribly misuse the Mossie? Why?

I'm sorry, it had the most ammo.

(Though there is one fighter in the plane set which is carrying even more ammo, in terms of # of rounds...)

The 110C?  That's what I used to destroy my rank a while back.  I miss the days of being ranked 4,000-something in fighters.

Lusche,

I'm curious about how dominant the pilots are in kills.  Does the 80/20 rule apply.  Can you get this stat.  I'm guessing its more like 90/10 (ie: 90% of all fighter kills are credited to 10% of the pilots).  Seems like I'm getting really familiar with the names that always shoot me down 

What do the numbers look like on the last tour?

Yes, it applies to AH as well, more or less.

Taking the scores of tour 157 and looking at the (scored) kills in Fighter + Attack mode, we get a distribution like this:



X axis are all the players, from the one with most kills to the one(s) with the least number of them. In the end, the top 20% players had been credited with 74% of all kills in both modes combined, so it's almost 80/20

(Note: Taken fron the score sheets, these numbers also include kills of and deaths by GV's as well as deliberate or AFK augers. I would have liked to base it exclusively on the plane/player stats, but that would have been a lot more work for me...)

Just an interesting snippet in between:

I did a small survey on plane/GV usage while CraterMA was up. Result: Nothing has changed since that map came up for the first time. Even though the novelty should have weared off by now, it's still the GV map of Ah

Planes had 31% of all kills & deaths
GV had 67% of all kills and deaths (more than 90% of it by&of tanks)
'other' = 2%

That does not sound good at all for the future of the air war in this game. "Tank Ace High"?

But maybe it's good for the continuing existence of the game Aces High as a whole?

[caldera]

That would be a boring game - with every machine being exclusively German-made.

Bring forth.. the IS-2!

Going by K+D is misleading for GVs because most GV fights are basically, or at least partially, spawn camps, and the reup/redead rate is very much higher than for planes.  A better metric would be looking at what percentage of players are in GVs vs planes at any given point in time.  When I've tried to estimate this it is usually 20-25% in GVs, but I haven't done it for crater and it is pretty clear the percentage would be significantly higher on that map.

Yes it would, no doubt. That's why I also tracking time in the different modes. I just can't fo that for specific maps, only for whole tours.
However, keeping that in mind K+D is a good way to compare different maps with each other. And CraterMA really stands out from them all in that aspect. And the point of my post was to show that this hasn't changed since CMA was introduced, as there was some speculation if that specific part of gameplay would wear off over time. It did not.

When I've tried to estimate this it is usually 20-25% in GVs,

That's actually a very good estimate. Currently players spend indeed about 25% of their game time in GVs.
