Lusches AH Stats Megathread

The 190A-8 has not only a high percentage of it's A2A kills against bombers, it's K/D against them is also so much better (not really a surprise)

For comparison, the LWMA fighter average was 28% buff kills, and a k/D of 1 vs fighters, 3.8 vs bombers

A bit surprising that the D-11's K/D versus buffs is twice that of the 47N.




And the Tempest kills buffs better than the 262 -  Whuuhhht?

Interesting, the dominance of the p51D since 2007. It was available way for that yet only emerged at the top in 2007.

The D11 is an experts plane.

A bit surprising that the D-11's K/D versus buffs is twice that of the 47N. . . .

Even a Viagra won't help the P-47N.  That is my guess.

I have to do this analysis for airframe families. Over the time we got a lot of different Spits with the total kills split up much more between them than between the 51D and 51B (which is almost a non-player in comparison)

Scientific proof that Spitdweebry is diminishing.  That is refreshing news.

In practise that graph means that planes used in the MA have more variation than ever before. That is definately a good thing.

Now, to have that stay the same and doubling the player base would be something. More like an utopia but one can hope.

Thanks again for the statistics Lusche, very interesting and entertaining!

I'm curious to see the spike in the Yak family since the update and introduction of the Yak-3.

A few more selected fighter airframes, including the yak. Same scale as the other graph above:

in 2008 it seems that range and speed became a deciding factor..lets me guess, big maps?

Big maps were introduced in 2001 (would have to look up the exact date). In 2008 (and later) we only had big maps on Titanic Tuesday.

But I tentatively agree that in particular speed has become a more important factor. I once tried to do a usage analysis that seems to support this assessment, the chosen fighetrs apparently had become 'faster' over the years. But that's very difficult to prove with the very limited amount of data made available by HTC

Lusche: if you had your wish what kind of new data would you like HTC to make available?  Sortie number per plane?  What else?

[Zimme83]

Size of map shouldn't be a factor, the distance between bases are the same and very few planes are flown with 100% fuel so range is not a major factor when choosing plane IMO. Speed of course is, both irl and in AH speed is the single most important factor in air combat, if u have a plane with superior speed u can dictate the terms of the fight and choose when to fight and not to fight.

[Lusche]

Oh it's really simple, they just could give me acces to all their data 

But sortie numbers in all plane related stats would help me a lot, especially when trying to analyse bomber usage and survivability. Kills and Deaths doesn't really work there anymore, especially with bombers like the Mossie or the B-29
