A heap of stats

[Lusche]

Or: The closest thing to the old "yearly stats update" you will get from me 

Some preliminary notes:
- All data is based on the available score & stats pages
- For player data, the scores of every pilot with at least one kill or one death in a given tour has been used.
- Between September 2006 and September 2007, the (then) new EW and MW arenas had no seperate scores, they were part of LW
- I'm limiting my commentary while posting this time, feel free to ask any specific questions you might have.

Let's start with "What have the players been doing?":





And, for the last three years, a bit more detailed:







Note that in this chart, Ground to Air kills include those by manned acks.









More charts are coming...

In chart #4, each year is total kills of all arenas added together?

It's the LW arena only, with the exception given in the preliminary notes.

Yes, sorry -- I didn't write my question that well.

I remember when we had multiple servers and more than one LW arena.  I don't remember when that was or how it was handled in score stats listed from HTC.  If we had that during the time period you analyzed, the stats are for all LW arenas added together, correct?

Yes, all LW arenas were combined in the stats.

'Tank Combat Domination Chart'

Displaying Kills-Deaths is a good way to check for any kind of 'arena dominance' some plane or GV may have:



Ever since AH3 went live, the T-34/85 is the undisputed king of the battlefield. Even the slight increase in perk cost didn't change anything.
Last year, almost 42% of all tank on tank kills had been made by the T-34/85. The once not entirely uncommon German tank destroyers almost don't appear on the battlefield anymore.

Well done Lusche.  Very interesting.

Can you do a similar chart for airplanes?

Seems the t34 85 should be perked more..

Absolutely fascinating Lusche, many thanks for the work!

The website.  He just compiles it and puts it into a picture so people can follow it more easily.

4th chart down is the concerning one.

What happened from 2000 to 2007 that we can replicate?

What happened from 2000 to 2007 that we can replicate?

I just think there was way less competition.  No warthunder, world of tanks/planes/ships, Il2's with amazing graphics.  Most of these adopting F2P models.   

All I can remember from those years were the missions, the mammoth un-balancing squads and titanic tuesdays with 500+ players in one arena.  Scenarios with 100+ a side.

Someone posted a screenshot the other day of our squadron having Fifteen players online      I'm sure claim jumpers, LCA or Jokers could put that to shame.   More people, More squads, bigger battles and fights all over the map.
