Welcome to the last article from the MoD Department of Statistics and Strategy. This one will provide some stats on UK division 4 ground battles. I was expecting some spicy overhitting so dedicated a separate article to this division, turns out this wasn’t the case, so stopped at ~300 rounds instead of 500.

Goals

- Aid players in finding the best time to farm
- Identify issues/find optimal strategies
- Get Congress/Gov stats on UK TW’s to guide future TW strategies

Method

I analysed 302 ground rounds - after the Tropical Heat weekly challenge - in an attempt to provide an average of what occurs in a typical UK div 4 round. Each BH on the UK side was recorded as,

- UK won
- TW Partner won
- Random won (winner not from UK or TW partner, essentially a missed farming opportunity and potential bounty)
- Empty (no player did damage)
- UK player overhit by random player (over 80m)
- UK player overhit by random player (under 80m)
- UK player overhit UK player (over 80m)

The time of each round was also recorded.

Results




Conclusion

Unlike the other divisions, we have an optimal time to go for BH’s - midday til about 7pm and the early hours of the morning. Also, nearly every battle that starts in the early morning was taken by a random or empty. I included a BH Availability Score, a percentage based on the random and empty rounds divided by the total.

There were very few steals, the only legit over 80 million one from a foreigner being against TRE, so was probably some retribution, there was only one case of UK on UK action. guyviii of the air round article fame did manage a respectable four last-minute snipes of low damage BH attempts, 2 against UK players.

Tips

- Over 80m has a very low chance of being overhit
- If doing low damage watch the end of the battle

On a personal note, it's been a fun month working for you Huey, I wish all the best for whatever you decide to do in the future.
