So I want to know what the average score for each plane is (over all pilots) in this scenario (not all scenarios).

and this:

'how I've done compared to the average' for a pilot playing any plane in this scenario.


Then, I guess the simplest way would be to see the rank of your score and compare it to the rank attained by other people.

Example:
In a certain Scenario X, you score 50 points in a Pfalz and your opponent scores 70 points in a Snipe.

We compare your 50 points with all the scores of all people picking your Pfalz in that scenario and we find out that, let's say, your 50 points is the 3rd best score ever.
So you score rank is 3.

Then we compare the 70 points of the Snipe to all the scores attained by Snipe pilots in all games of that scenario, and we find out that 70 points is pretty common and it's actually just the 122th best score ever.
So Snipe's score rank is 122.

Since you attained Rank 3 vs 122, we will say that you performed better.

Infact, your performance was almost better than all Pfalz before, while Snipe's one was common

I think it would be interesting to add this information somewhere, but I don't think I would attribute the "yellow box" win on that. According to the game rules, it's a Snipe victory



That's another way of doing things - and adding that query to the database would be cool (to give a quick assessment of how you had done).

It sounds difficult to compare your own performance over multiple games using that system (but I might be wrong).

I'd also be interested in seeing the what the average number of planes is in all the games I've played (and for each player here
http://www.youplay.it/play/User.Asp?UserID=edwardlaneuk ).


I try to use the stats to work out who is 'most' dangerous if I'm playing a league (and I don't know the players in it).
I look at the player's win/loss ratio to give myself an idea of how dangerous they are. But unless I know how many planes are in the games they normally play that can be misleading.


I win about 1/4 games - which is good if the average number of planes in a game I play is over 4, or if the average number of planes is 4 or less but I'm picking 'bad' planes.

If someone plays a lot of 2 player games then they can be pleased if their win/loss ratio is better than 50% (assuming the planes are even)
but if they always play the 'worst' plane then anything above 0% is good (the handicap system I suggested would be a change - but would I think reflect that more accurately).

But I do appreciate that this is only a back burner issue - not a bug or anything actually important.
