VSP Stats Options

[HammaTime]

I posted this in Canuck's thread on stats, but my post was skipped over. I'll try again.

Has MOB ever considered using VSP stats? Having just changed my tag from HammaTime to {MOB}HammaTime I discovered that the current stats track by tag name. VSP doesn't have this problem. Additionally, VSP tracks who you've killed and who has killed you, a great incentive for so many of our personal rivalries. And most importantly, VSP stats tracks your team wins and losses which definitely provides an additional incentive to win a round as opposed to settling for a draw.

I have no connection to VSP stats. I have simply used their stats on other servers.

I think this would be a good package to add. What I really like is tracking team victories. I used to do this myself for months, partly to re-assure myself my team was not losing more than winning. Sometimes I would so negative it seems like we were losing all the time. During the time I tracked my team victories, I found my team won about 2/3rds of the time (in non-draws)! It was a nice surprise and kept me more positive after that.

I'd also like to see if some player is better or worse at helping the team win than their personal stat might indicate. I think there could be a guy with a 1.00 kill ratio who is more valuable to have on your team than a guy with a 2.00 ratio, if he is focusing on objectives, keeping the other team off-kilter rather than hogging all the best tanks and just playing safe. I notice stats on the Stock map server ( i rarely play anymore, but I checked it out), and there is a guy there with a 12.5 kill ratio!!!! Unbelievable I thought. Then I delved into the stats a little further. Firstly, almost all his kills were in a tank. With 167 round and 1800+ kills, he only tried to plant 6 times, never successfully planted once, and only defused twice! So despite being a terrific player who never dies, I wonder if he hides in his tank even as bases are being planted? A stat tracking his wins would be extremely interesting. He kills 12 times more people than kill him, but does he win 12 games for every loss? OTOH, my friend who plays with me sometimes is only around a 1.00 kill ratio, but I'm fairly sure we win about 60-70% of the time. Sometimes, just willing to speed in towards a defended base in a jeep is what gives others a chance to sneak behind the enemies lines!
