I think it would be interesting to see your initial usage chart reworked to show usage by general airframe.

Grouping the P 51D/B together, The Bf 109s, the Fw/TA 190s, P 47s, Lavochkins, Typhoons/Tempests, all the Spitfires , etc etc.

!S

Spitfires end up with having 18.5% of all Fighter kills & deaths.

Now that chart reflects pretty much what you see flying in the mains.

Yes, but usually people lament about seeing only Spit 16's. Which isn't true at all

Excellent, thanks.

This makes "usage" clearer to me I think because planes with many variants would have their % divided too many times.

Well, then! PERK THE OTHER FIGHTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, ENY 5 for the P47N makes more and more sense. P47 series is sitting right up there with the heavy hitters like the A6M2/5 and Yaks.

Looks like my normal day in the MA

If so, I don't undertand the :rolleyes
Less than one in five of all kills a Spit has a part in, and there is a wide range of other fighter scoring. Also not all Spits are the same, just like there are vast differences between individual 190 models.

I think my initial "plane usage" and especially "kills sorted by eny" show that there is a bigger diversity in rides than we sometimes tend to believe.

No the perked version is actually sitting right next to killers like the P51B and 190A5

but otherwise, I generally tend to agree.

Of all the perks, that one makes the least amount of sense to me.

I think I'm involved in that 1 in 5 70% of the time.

Your other chart surprised me, this chart just take out the "Others" category and thats just about what I see personally, maybe bump up 51 sightings.

~~I saw between P40-E and Seafire? (For the "N")~~

Very nice Lusche

A few comments:

Those that think they see more of a specific plane than the chart indicates - it could be psychological, but also could be a time zone thing. Possibly the US plane usage increase during US prime time and the use of spit / hurrri / typh increase during UK prime time etc.

The grouped-by-types plot makes more sense. The usage of F4U is split between 5 variants, 4 of which are not that different from each other. Same is the case for the P47, P38 and spitfire. Yes, before people jump, I know they are not EXACTLY the same, but the choosing of a variant is more a matter of personal taste and not passion for one very specific variant. That is in contrast to F6F, N1K, La7 of which you have just one variant, or the P51 where one variant dominates completely.

I am interested to see how the Mosquito is doing since it was fixed. I think because its usage was near zero for most of the year, its averages are so low and are completely skewed.

I've always been one of those who thought the Spit XIV should not be perked simply because, over 23K is where it's in it's element and that's not a likely fighting alt in the MA's.

This weekend, I took the XIV out for a couple of rides. Starting with a minimal alt advantage (~2K) I was able to run down both a 190D-9 and a P-51D in full stride on the deck using WEP. Once in my guns range neither stood a chance.

The XIV's a monster in more ways than one and I now believe the minimal perk is more than justified.

WAY more since I started flying the D25 and having to re-arm 7 times for 2 kills and 1 assist.
