Especially as big and quick changes in anything are usually quite rare in AH...

So what happened aroun tour 200?

m4 rockets?

We have them since tour 124.

AH III
Buzzsaw

Well that clears it up. Probably the GV spawns at strats that account for the damage spikes. Good find Snailman :cheers:
-
Scratching head what would cause average damage per sortie could change. Obviously it is at the start of AH 3.0.
One would think that the average would stay constant because for each kill normally there is a death.
The only things I can think of that would make is rise, is less people exiting vehicles with out getting killed or getting a kill.
Any other thoughts?

Might run parallel with general GV optimizations implemented over a wide period with the effects of the optimizations not be no noticeable until GV players figured out the “how’s” of the GV game?

I think Max has it. GVs spawning into strats and having turkey shoots on Buzzsaw would seem a likely culprit to send average damage/sortie way up.

A turkey should should not change the stats, but shooting at more buildings would.

Ok, GV spawns into strats is more target-rich for buildings than pretty much any other situation one may find themselves in in the game. They're also an attractive target. When Buzzsaw was new, you saw tons of people spawning into the strats.

Still do. A fair number of players don't care for the map, thereby reducing air fights. GV'rs like the map cuz it provides quick action...and access to strats.

There are more GV spawns to the strats
And there is Buzzsaw. Buzzsaw has GV spawns to enemy strats from the start. And when you play on that map, you will see all strats in reach flashing almost all of the time from GV. I would not be surprised if the amount of damage points generated on this map is ten or even twenty times higher than on other maps.
You also have relatively little defense against those strat killers. In my experience you can sit a long time there shooting buildings until a serious defender shows up. Which may have something to do with the fact that the strats are basically indefensible anyway. Most of the time it's more like "I shoot yours and you shoot mine".

Are you able to exclude data points from certain maps?

No, I can not do that.
Data like that above is taken from the player scores, after completion of a full tour.
-
Maybe folks going to GV's until they upgraded their machines? Example: a player has an older card that they couldn't fly effectively in, and stayed in GVs until they upgraded. Just a wild guess. Did the GV sortie count or time-in-GV go up as well? Can you chart damage points / time-in-gv?
-
Do you have data on resupply? I'm betting that time spent driving resupply also increases in Buzzsaw.
-

No.
Besides, it's not overall damage shown above but already damage per sortie.

I just have the data that's available to everyone on the player score and player & plane stats pages.

That's not unlikely, though I personally don't get the point of resupplying a factory that will most likely be down again just a few minutes later ;)

How do you pull the score numbers for every player. Is there a code for the player ID field, like '***', to get the score info on all the players at once?

1. With the added foilage of AH3, more GV’s are able to make it to a enemy town. Damage goes up.
2: The V bases. There are allot more tank battles right on the base because there are more places to hide, lots of hills, deep valleys, and objects like manned guns are used for cover. A tank battle on a V Base can last up to an hour. Damage goes up. The base gets wrecked. :D
3. Easy access to strats in Buzzsaw yes, but it is nly one map.
:old:
I like Buzzsaw. It is the most GV friendly of the maps in the current rotation. It forces everyone to defend their strats. There are awesome CV battles as well.

The damage that usually will be inflicted on a Vbase by Gv is minimal compared to a town or factory killing sortie.

But massively used for killing objects.

Au contraire. I largely stopped trying to defend the strats, because it's utterly futile. I just use them occasionally for harvesting some cheap kills.
On the other hand, it's amazing for how long the enemy usually allows ME to whack their strats. Possible for the same reasons.

That's beyond my skill set, unfortunately. Can you chart damage points/time-in-GV for me?
-

Agreed. However, sometimes it seems more productive to resupply a port or vbase that is deacked for 100 minutes, than to watch it or defend it for 100 minutes. (All activities the most boring parts of the game.)

What were the tours when GV dar was introduced and modified? Anyone remember?

First try end of tour 214, current 'sector' implementation in tour 215

Thanks! Last request: GV damage points / GV kill points
Due to the incomparable and abigous nature of both kind of 'point', I'd rather not.
But yes, theres absolutely more damage on objects per kill. Damage per sortie & time went way up with AH3, while the number of kills per GV sortie and (even more) per hour went down. (No surprise when you consider the terrain changes)

My Hurri IID loves the Buzzsaw map because it is covered with tank bait. :D

So the ground game essentially migrated from a GV on GV fight, to shooting at buildings and gunpits.
IMHO this could be rectified with one thing: more imaginative use of better terrain features. Which is completely doable, and doesn't require anything extra from Dale and the gang.

I think this is highly debatable :D

Anyway to pull up GV damage/hour gv per Terrain? ie Crater vs Buzzsaw
-

As noted before: No. :old:
-
The reason I ask is because when Crater is up the map changes configuration fairly quickly as v bases and airfields are conquered. Some of the strats are exposed to gv's. This happens in NDisles as well. The older maps always had the strats really far from the action (a bomber had to fly a considerable distance to reach them).
good work btw.
:salute
-
It's because I jumped in a GV and started taking out bases and camping them with my panzer because people said GVing was too hard with GV dar, so I proved them wrong and skewed the numbers. :old:
-
Maybe it is as simple as more GV's are now trying to help win the map as opposed to spawn camping for their score.
