tankers vs pilots - a quick examination

Often there is said to be a division between tankers and pilots in AH, implying that most players are largely either the one or the other.

But actually 'dedicated' GV players (with at least 80% of their time in GVs) make up only a small part of total GV usage.

For example last tour, LW Tour 173:



How to read this pie chart: Players with 80-100% of their game time in GVs were responsible for 15% of the total GV playtime in tour 175. Those with 40% of their time spent in GV's were responsible for 38% of all GV time.

Any thoughts about how many of those GV sorties were Flak Panzers, M16s, or M3 base defense type.

I just asked because that is interesting that it seems that more folks are in tanks at certain times due to the low numbers with number of actual friendly dots shown in flight.

Not possible atm.

It's varying somewhat with time of day and map (=GV opportunities), but the differences are generally relatively small (with the most notable exception of CraterMA, but even on that map most game time is spend in planes.
The total GV share is about 25% of all gametime during a full tour, meaning one in four hours playing this game was spent in vehicles. (field & ship guns are excluded from these calculations)

FSO and the MA - revisited

"many FSO players are playing there exclusively and never in the MA"
This opinion had been voiced in various versions a lot over the years. Before I checked this, I was even agreeing with that - so much for being unbiased ;)

I had analysed this before, but now did it again for a full month of FSO play: Three sessions in June 2014.

I found a total of 394 distinct pilot IDs flying at least once in FSO in that month (160 did all three, 132 did two and 102 showed up once).
Of these 394 pilots, less than 10% never showed up in Late war during the same month. And the remaining 91% had been very active in Late war: Averaging about 28 hours, they spend more time in the LW than the arena average was.

Again I found confirmed what I had concluded before


FSO pilots are generally just a very active subset of the general MA population.
(And in some way, a 'special' one as well, as most MA players ignore FSO just like they do with all other Special Events)

And most MA players are bloody idiots, as demonstrated by the above.  IMO anyway.

Great way to attract players to FSO and other events by calling them "idiots". Ya that should work out real well for ya.  :rolleyes:

Ok, maybe that's a bit harsh but well intended.  Allow me to rephrase in a kinder, gentler, wagging fashion:

If you aren't flying in the FSO you are missing the best part of Aces High and that makes you just silly :)

I have to agree with the man from Great Britain.  And Fugi - you need to understand where his enthusiasm comes from.  Swoop flies JG11 in FSO.  :confused:  In other words - he has found a new game entirely - one so cool he sets his alarm clock for 5 A.M on his Saturday morning in order to take part in the fun.  A Brit - making it a point to get up early on a Sat. morning and fly Irons with me.

No need to attract more players to FSO. - Those looking for The Experience find it all on their own!
