Ireland - Military Analysis and Activity

Day 1,712, 06:39 • Published in Ireland Ireland • by Death and Taxes

So, here we are again. This is what I've been doing over the last two weeks. As previously explained, I was approached to do a survey of Irish MU's and publish the results. Before I do so, I'd like to add some caveats and explanations.

1. While I wanted to comment on each MU I have been asked not to do so. I will make an exception of Boot Camp, who deliberately inflate their numbers to ensure they appear in the top three units. This is a necessity, not a cheat.

2. The ICA have recently announced that they will be rejecting any Division I recruits from this point on, LA have had the same policy for some time now, I wish all MU's would follow this unselfish act. Boot Camp needs to be supported by all units.

3. Activity is defined by:
None = 0 kills
Light < 25 kills
Medium < 35 kills
Heavy < 55 kills
Ultra > 56 kills

I disregarded bazooka splurges. We know that you have a max wellness of 2400 per day. We know that roughly speaking each kill requires about 35 wellness. Players therefore who use their max wellness are averaging 60-80 kills per day. These are the ultras.

4. The data was gathered over three days worth of fights in each MU. Obviously, this being summertime activity is light, people are on holidays, so the information provided significantly underestimates the true result.

5. I have not included players not associated with MU's, this again indicates an underestimation of the true situation.

6. Far more detailed information on fighting and MU strength is available on websites, but it doesn't give a personal flavour or feeling. I assume this is the reason behind the survey in the first place. So please don't accuse me of acting the traitor and giving away secrets.

All done? Off we go...
