So i'm seeing late war monsters all the time

[Lusche]

For tour 210 the  plane with the most sorties flew only 4.8 % of the total aircraft sorties.

I.E. Right now the plane choice of aircraft is very spread out.

It's a shame the sortie numbers had been taken away from the stats pages. I could have educated the masses in a short order

Real news.   

[Krusty]

Perk the M3!!! 

[Lusche]

Vehicles and planes are separate groups for the Sortie %

From which tour is that? Current?

[Skuzzy]

From which tour is that? Current?

Tour 210

[Wiley]

Perk the M3!!! 

This!!!

That list's going to be used to justify all kinds of complaining going forward.  I can already hear Junky and Violator's keyboards clacking.

Clearly lancs need to be perked too. 

A few of those numbers are mildly surprising to me.  Interesting for sure.

Wiley.

Tour 210

Thank you!

[Krusty]

I find it fascinating how we get complaints all the time about lack of a GV fight at the center or at places where GVer xyz wants to drive his tank, but over 80% of all sorties have been in the top-ranked GVs. The M3 isn't just a troop transport, you know? I used to like tooling around at really high speeds in it to use the tank destroyer version against other tanks. Aaaaand then flipping over because I was going 50mph and hit a bump in the terrain that wasn't flat-on. I assume that still happens often, hence the high number of sorties. Speed is life when you're in the air. It kinda hurts when you're in a GV.

[Skuzzy]

Thank you!

Ut oh.  The spreadsheet monster is loose!!!

[waystin2]

Ok who took the P40C out of the shed? 

[puller]

Ok who took the P40C out of the shed? 

I think I flew one a couple of sorties...but I bet its Snuggie

You are probably right. I think I drug one out a year or two ago. Kudos to whomever.

[...]. The M3 isn't just a troop transport, you know? I used to like tooling around at really high speeds in it to use the tank destroyer version against other tanks.

M-3 being as a combat vehicle is very rare. The vast majority of M-3 sorties are resupply runs.

[Krusty]

But, the flipping over? It is still the bane of every M3 driver's existence?
