The problem here is that missiles can’t exist in a vacuum and can’t be balanced as such, as all of them are being carried by a vehicle that also has it’s own properties, which when combined lead to a BR placement.
I believe all top tier seekers are identical.
FM does matter for the overall efficiency of the vehicle and thus the BR placement.
I said it more than a couple of times that 30SM don’t really need 38MTs, so I hope this will be the last time I’ll need to repeat it.
Considering how big of a game we’re talking about and the fact anyone can vote doesn’t really make it that good of a sample.
then whats the point of suggestions or battle rating changes when majority of vote is not from the playerbase outside wt forums?
what if someone goes “i dont like that vehicle remove it” and they arent from wt forums?
war thunder forum users are war thunder players and this reflects the userbase. even when majority aren’t there like i said it is statistically valid with less than 3% of error rate (for example we can do validated science with a small amount of people from population polling and then calculating error rate and trend for that and it will be valid)
so no your moot is point, all they have to take into account is the sub 3% error rate
and the another point about flat earth forum was a false equivalency, it would be true if this war thunder forum was instead BAN KH38MT forum. a lot of kh38mt supporters wouldn’t be here and anti kh38mt people would be here however this is war thunder forum and this post is availabe to everyone regardless of their opinion and also used that way
you can clearly see people in both sides in their expected amounts
so yes, biased false equivalency and ignorance towards statistical validity
you dont understand that this sample size is actually quite huge with a small margin of error at 2.6%
its like saying “your opinion dont matter” because there isnt enough of you
so if i say to him “ur opinion dont matter as much as us” then im correct im guessing
The BR of the vehicles impacted can be toned down a bit if needed. The BRs are also separated between ground RB and air RB.
Furthermore, i may remind you that SPAA is supposed to be the first deterrent to CAS, not CAP. Disregarding the entire class for a FM issue is quite dubious
Not a single poll is valid if it accepts votes from people that might not even be in the target group.
I can vote on some Naval poll without even playing Naval, which surely should be an erroneous vote.
That’s like you let 80 year old people vote on your poll aimed at population aged 18 - 25.
I really thought a science oriented person would notice the flaws.
@MrBombastic8
They make changes based on their own data, they treat forum just like a light suggestion.
On YT and other sites they can’t enforce the “activity” rule in which only active players can make posts. Those sites also aren’t affiliated with Gaijin, unlike this forum.
It’s probably there mostly to make you think you’re important when deciding the BR of certain vehicles. The amount of vehicles that actually move in BR just from the suggestions is laughably low in comparison to total requests made.
were gauging peoples opinion on a weapon being added without sufficient proof. does not matter if they’re naval or whatever. if it mattered, it could be verified by checking public game profiles however this is something that would more exist as a predefinition of how things should be handled.
yet even then like i said, if you have a problem, profiles are public and naval players could be closed out if you have a problem with it
That is absolutely not how polling works and that should be obvious to everyone that spends more than 30 seconds thinking about it. Polling agencies spend a tremendous amount of work in building representative sample groups to which they then reach out to. They don’t just ask whoever happens to come through the door.
A poll on the forum is the opposite of that. Only a small fraction of the userbase uses the forum, opinions on the forum are disproportionally negative as people usually come here to complain, polls on specific things will mostly attract people that are invested in them one way or the other. Trying to judge the sentiment of the WT playerbase as a whole from one isolated forum poll is like claiming you could tell the outcome of a national election from polling the people that went to some random townhall in a random district.
800 people vs the whatever (even exaggerated) amount of people is very strong. i already said that with 150k people (even if that is exaggerated) the error is at 2.6%
don’t run in circles saying the same arguments as the other person that i already called out on his non sense
even if you want to exaggerate it just to be sure by assuming that some people are invalid then it will still be less than 10% and that does not make a difference in the poll result
No, it’s not, because you have no way of knowing how votes of the playerbase as a whole, forum users and voters on this one topic are distributed.
You can’t determine a margin of error without a confidence level. You can’t assume you have a high confidence level unless you’re polling a randomized group. You’re not, you’re polling a self selected one without any comparison data.
ofcourse people at gaijin would validate it however im pointing out we can also do it if needed as information is open source here
this is about weapons not vehicles
it is a huge difference and a false equivalency at that to assume that they bear the same weight.
they don’t.
ill still be waiting for gaijins reply on this thread. if they don’t reply then they don’t. it is really your and mine opinion whether a poll is required or not and there is no point arguing that, however i am saying that it would be statistically accurate when done the way i said.
95% is the default and you should probably know that as it is the general standard
do we have one person arguing about the user base having to be picked for validation and another user arguing that it has to be fully randomized? definetly closing each other’s arguments out
even to you each other, either one of you is wrong. is it you, @maguumo or you, @MotorolaCRO ?
ill expect an answer
I already explained how SM3 might not be able to get balanced better at other BRs and with other weapons, but in another thread that’s more appropriate.
SU-34 can’t even be pushed down that much due to ARH limitation.
That too, but FMs and A2A capabilities are also an important thing in GRB, as you’ll be meeting enemy aircraft there too.
AAs need help across the board, that’s pretty obvious.
95% is the “standard” if you have a randomized group. You do not have a randomized group. You are specifically asking people that are riled up about it and made the effort to go to the forum to complain about it. It’s like asking people that just got a ticket for speeding what they think of radar traps compared to asking every 1000th inhabitant of the city they live in.
That has nothing to do with each other. If you want a reliable poll you need to poll a reprenentative group. Excluding “bad faith” actors is one thing you can do to slightly improve your dataset, it’s still going to be garbage compared to a randomized group.
this isn’t a medical placebo study as you know. you also have a false equivalency similar to what the motorolaguy posted, this in your argument wouldn’t be a “people who got a speeding ticket” because in the sense of argument this isn’t a speeding ticket forum. this is the general war thunder userbase forum and while the post is “kh-38mt may not exist”, the thread is representative of people who both agree and disagree with it and is not locked out from anyone who does not agree.
this is more like going to a town general forum and asking what they think of speed cameras rather than going to ask only people who were fined.
your false equivalence shows that you’re arguing in bad faith just like the other person
i also mentioned that i support gaijin making the poll themselves, yet here you also stayed quiet.
If Gaijin was keen to remove it they’d have done it already, I don’t think they need our guidance. That being said, I’m definitely not the one who’ll validate that thing.
Weapons are just a giant paper weight without vehicles that are launching them, so I agree with you. Fake vehicles should bear much more weight than weapons.
Actually we’re both right.
You can’t accept votes from people outside the target range and you also need to guarantee the selected people have been chosen randomly.
So yeah, having 80 year olds voting on a poll for 18 - 25 people is wrong. Likewise, polling people on a platform that is mostly used to complain is wrong as it’s obviously not random.
