M3 data gathering question

On the flip side you could take one set of mossie bombers with just the cookie, hit 1 town, and be ranked in the top 50 for the month in bombers.

  I have it....Make base capture more like "Player Unknown". Do away with Bombs and actually destroying towns and guns. NOT remove Bombers and JABBO, but just make actual dropping of bombs unnecessary. A side must keep the number of bombers and fighters and Jabbos in "Take ZONE" for 15 minutes too capture. To stop a capture you must keep killing the enemy Bombers and other planes, when one side has advantage for "X" amount of time they win the field/fight. That would get everyone into the "COMBAT" portion of game play   OH, I forgot...BISH would always win...THE HORDE complaints would sky rocket    THE game is what it is...I love it...does that mean there are no parts I wish were different? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I deal with it and adjust how I play THE GAME. I dont own it, I am privileged to be able to play this game. I know of NO OTHER game where the Owners/Operators take active role and listen to their players(about some ideas/enhancements to game play and design)    I have even MORE RESPECT for them, when these sort of issues/running battles about game facets/mechanics get going. Personally,I would probably go GRADE SCHOOL and kick everyone out of MY Sandbox. So even if I dont love EVERY THING...I feel HONORED that I am allowed to play in this particular Sand Box

Maybe because, at the time of your post, the tour was only five days old. As more people register bomber sorties, that number will go up. For example... today, just a day later, that number is up to 629. (My bomber rank is 629 without having flown a bomber sortie).

Not arguing a numbers decline. Just don't think it's quite what you would make it out to be, using that logic.

Exactly. They way I look at it is for those that dont fly bomber mission their rank is TIED for last place. At the beginning of a tour you could have 3000 guys tied for last and a the total number of subscriptions is 3326. That means there are 3000 guys ranked 326. At the end of the tour it gets to that 1650 rank number for those that dont fly bombing missions, but people still have to remember that there are still players TIED for that rank. So you dont really KNOW what the subscriptions are.

Some people use it as a bench make by comparing the tour totals together. They are figuring that the same average number of players dont fly bomber missions month after month and so you can see the trend of whether subscription numbers are going up, or down. Of course this is all speculation, assumptions, and guess work and nobody has the real numbers other than HTC.

And some people just count all the pilots, tour for tout...

Players that embrace the full spectrum of the game seem to enjoy AH more irregardless of the scoring.  Of late, I have seen long time GV'ers in planes and long time plane people in GVs.  You know, "Dogs and cats living together . . ."  That kind of thing.

You got it the wrong way around. Players either addicted enough or simply caring for their country more than anything else (or a mixture of both) will go through the full spectrum regardless whether they enjoy it or not, including supply runs.

Again you miss the point. Its not about expanding your horizons and trying different things, it's about the use of the M3 and re-supplying towns.

One poster was using rank to try and prove his point on the use of the M3.
