One of the upcoming new additions to the Library is
indirect ratings. As you know, when you play a scenario you are asked to rate it from 1 to 5. This is the only thing you are
directly allowed to rate. However, many other Library objects are involved in a scenario and thus can be
indirectly rated by pulling the ratings for the scenarios in which they appear...
- nations
- maps
- battle types
- conditions
- etc.
While these indirect ratings should be taken with a grain of salt, they are nonetheless interesting to browse and (I believe) enhance the Library by their presence.
Two quick examples:
Can you guess what the lowest rated
condition is?
If you said "caves by a mile" you're right!
How about units?
If we limit the pool of consideration to only those units that have 10 indirect ratings or more, we are left with 629 "well-played" units. Of those, the top ten by average rating are:
Nation Branch Unit - Avg Rating (total ratings)
- America Army M24 - AR: 4.45 (11)
- Germany SS SPW-250 - AR: 4.33 (12)
- America Army M39 - AR: 4.3 (10)
- Soviet Union Guards T-44 - AR: 4.15 (13)
- Soviet Union Guards JSU-152 - AR: 4.1 (10)
- France Army 47mm APX - AR: 4 (29)
- France Army 25mm/CK portee - AR: 4 (17)
- Soviet Union RKKA JS-II - AR: 4 (10)
- Italy Army 100mm - AR: 4 (10)
- Soviet Union RKKA T-70 - AR: 3.96 (28)
