Title: Average Altitude Stat
Post by: SectorNine50 on August 23, 2009, 06:35:38 PM
I personally think recording this stat could prove interesting.  It could help define a player's play style and give the stats some context.  I'm not sure how hard it would be to log, but I assume it wouldn't be too bad to implement.  Am I alone in this curiosity?

I wouldn't mind seeing it. Round it off by 1,000Ft and the amount of time spent at each.

The highest I see most Rooks at is 15K. Just enough to be right above the lower cloud layer.

Most Bishops I see are at 10k.

Knights are usually in their 190s at 20-30k

Which tells me you aren't paying attention as it's always the other side that's higher, regardless of  what team you play for.

Just as an addition, I see this being sorted by sortie type as well.  It would skew the results a little bit if the bomber and attack altitudes were combined with the fighter alts.

it would be interesting..... but also uselessto use in any serious personal debate as leaving the plane in the hanger at a rear field and going offline for 24 hours would be an easy manipulation to make.

I wonder what min would be?


1000 feet=5%
-10 feet=95%

True, but to be honest what use are the stats as they stand now?  Anyone can go around and vulch a shade account to raise their stats.

Plus, the altitude thing wouldn't have to be ranked like the other stats, it could just be for reference.

And perhaps to counter this tactic we could do altitude in AGL, that way when your on the runway it reads zero.  If you spent 24 hours at zero altitude, it would be easily spotted that you were trying to effect your average.

The highest I see Rooks regularly is 30+K when they know I've got a B17 Mission in the works at 28 to 30K.

says it all!! This is the reason we (Knights) only up Hurri's, Nikki's, Spit's and now I6's and Brewsters. We like turn fighting. No need to get above 5K for that.

LLogann's B24's are at 14,500.  LLogann's 109, Spit, 190, Typhy's are at 22k. 

I don't know anything other then that.

Each countries altitude average is going up by 20% the moment I switch to it.

I can only speak of my average alt (and strangely enough I see quite a few other people at the same alt every time I'm on)...ground level.
