Naval mode is finally dead

Agreed. Why there is some of that, as I understand it, the MAJORITY of players in F2P monetization are NOT paying. Anything. And then if they are, they’re usually doing little things. Lower tier/Cheaper Premiums. Maybe premium time.

Again, agree, only the devs know for sure but… you SHOULD be seeing lowest tiers bumped up as players funnel into the game mode. That’s the only entrance for the majority of Free to Players. The tiny percentage buying in likely isn’t significant.

This is also true. It doesn’t take long to get into rank III. I think a few days to get solid into the Rank IIs. But we should still see a ton of players in Rank II and III.

And those Rank I numbers should still show up as they’re monthly counts.

GJ needs to rename this Battle Pass to the “Battles of the French fleet vs the sniper bots”

Also has anyone else noticed that the bots A/A do not take pause to reload, I noticed that on the German Flakvierling. They continusly shootinhg like they are gattling guns

To best way to check this is to look at the Player Count stats, which is basically number of unique players that played at specific BRs.

Even if someone played 100 battles at 2.0 BR in specific nation, you will see +1 Player Count from this player at 2.0 BR for this nation. Of course in this example I assume that all these battles were exactly at 2.0 BR, which is pretty much impossible (more on this later).

You can also do something interesting and just look at the number of unique players that played Naval Arcade in the last month (select Ship Arcade, Win Rate, Monthly Statistics). This way you will see there were 158617 unique players in total (sum of all values) that played at least one Naval Arcade battle in this period. Just keep in mind that this stat is updated every week, so it’s best to note it with the release of monthly stats.

From monthly stats, we know that in May Naval Arcade had 549307 unique players in BRs. So the average Naval Arcade player played in 3.5 different BRs during the month. Which is not much, considering we have 20 possible BR lineups (from 1.0 to 7.3) and 7 nations. This low number of 3.5 suggests that many of 158617 players had to play just 1 battle. That’s because if you play many battles with the same lineup (let’s say 2.0 BR), some of your battles will be 2.0, some will be 2.3, some will be 2.7 and some will be 3.0, so you have 4 options with just one lineup (StatShark counts battle BR for every player). Because the number of possible BR placements with one lineup is 4, and we know the average player played in 3.5 different BRs, many Naval Arcade players had to play just 1 or maybe 2 battles in total last month, so this stat could be that low. Because there were surely players, who played at more BRs.

If that’s still not clear, a simpler example of just 2 players. If one player played just 1 battle in last month, he would be counted as just +1 player at specific BR in Player Count, and +1 player for win rate stats. If another player played at 6 different BRs last month, he would be counted as +6 players at specific BRs in Player Count, but still only +1 player for win rate stats. Both these players at average played in 3.5 different BRs (7 unique players at BRs divided by 2 unique players).

All this suggests that most players in Naval Arcade don’t like switching nations too often, and also prefer to play with just one specific lineup whole the time.

BTW: If anyone is wondering, 306402 unique players played Naval Arcade from February to May.
