Changing numbers can draw more people to their site by reaffirming peoples beliefs regardless of if those beliefs are correct or not, players will then start spreading the word about their site to a larger and wider extent compared to if those numbers went against players beliefs. (compare to people spreading false information in social media, they see something that confirms their beliefs and they share it giving that site/person more trafic)
Changing numbers can effect how players view vehicles and make more players argue for changes in the game that they want to see even if those changes might not be warranted.
I’m not saying that it is certain what they do, i’m saying that there are valid reasons that they could be.
This is extremely far fetched and a giant reach to try to discredit the website which has no signs of tampering of data.
If gaijin does not want people to use the best resource available to view data, they should RELEASE data to discredit it. I would trust them far more if I could actually read what they say they are viewing to make balance decisions, even if I had to go on faith alone that they were telling the truth.
Actual data. Not “we think”, “we see”, “the data shows” Numbers.
Btw, among the community, a significant % of us think gaijin’s way of balancing is incredibly flawed. I can point out multiple things they say in that post that make very little sense or misrepresent how the aircraft perform.
What about R-60s/R-27R and BR-12.3? I would prefer that and then the R-73/ R27ER at 13.0, that would make the 2 variants more unique and I believe historically accurate
You’re asking me to prove something that can’t be verified. But I’ll try.
If Statshark really showed incorrect statistics, then Gaijin moderators would brandish real game statistics at every opportunity, refuting the opponent’s arguments in the form of statistics from a third-party resource, but this will not happen, because these statistics are collected using the official SDK and they are quite accurate.
Because we’re playing this game. If the plane shows bad results, then there will be bad results on Statshark. This is especially evident in simulation battles, where the teams are divided and the same aircraft are involved in the same aircraft.
There is no benefit to it. As far as I remember, Statshark uses the WarThunder SDK to collect statistics. So if the SDK itself does not manipulate the query results, then there can be no questions about the data itself.
In addition, there are no known cases when Statshark would show high results for frankly weak aircraft.
Gaijin doesn’t care about the opinion of the players, statistics from a third-party source and other third-party factors. Tampering with data on a third-party resource in the hope of Gaijin’s reaction is stupid.
In conclusion, we trust the Stashark data because no one has been able to refute it.
A false equivalence or false equivalency is an informal fallacy in which an equivalence is drawn between two subjects based on flawed, faulty, or false reasoning. This fallacy is categorized as a fallacy of inconsistency.[1] Colloquially, a false equivalence is often called “comparing apples and oranges.”
Like what the actual? What is your point? Outline it to me. Say it in direct words.
It took me ages to spade the old mig 29 (still doing last few mods atm) and now its research it again and go for round 2 of pure pain. We are just dumb mugs to Gaijin. Investing more time and effort for a jet that we already had is the pinnacle of taking the piss
Where the F/A-18A is already located. His direct competitor. Which surpasses it in many ways. Including the number of missiles, radar, RWR and maneuverability.
