Weekly firepower rankings, Day 3605

Day 3,605, 06:11 • Published in Finland Finland • by TheJuliusCaesar

Afternoon,

Again a week has passed. This week our formatting has stayed identical to last week with no new bigger additions or graphs. Feel free to propose any style of visualization you feel would be nice to have or know.

Below are, first, a comparison on how much firepowers of each nation changed from last week. Such tabulation enables us to see easily the changes in power relations within the world, denoted by change in damage and kills, which are extremely closely correlated with firepower.

FIREPOWER COMPARISON



We can notice a few things, again, from the above table:

- The hotspot of the world conflicts has moved into South America, to battles between especially Serbia, Romania, Argetina and Chile. All four have seen their firepower share rise with 0.60 - 1.25% points.

- Conversely, last week's big battles in Balkans between Greece and Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), in which Bulgaria was closely involved in, has calmed down relatively for the moment. All three mentioned nations saw their firepower drop with approximately 1% point.

- Other changes are relatively modest. Turkey bounced back a bit from last week's regenerative exhaustion after its conflict with Russia.

Below are charted the developments of nations' firepower shares of which average surpasses the 2% mark, to prevent clogging the graph up completely:

It provides a neat overall picture, with which we can further analyse the developments. For instance, with the battles in South America, Serbia climbed to a new record firepower, which Romania did on their own behalf too.


Below, then, are the familiar efficiencies of each nation in deployment. You know the deal, but here's the method just in case:

The following charts are computed simply by comparing the each nations' share of global damage to their firepower. The more a nation produces damage compared to its firepower, the more efficient the nation is on battlefield as a deployment. This is because they offer more damage per firepower than some other nations. Whereas firepowers need to be manually fetched and inquired from many sources, nations' share of (air)damage can easily be obtained by dividing the amount of respective nation's (air)damage with the total amount of total global (air)damage, for ground and air battles respectively. Damage can be fetched from the weekly leaderboards.

AIR BATTLES



For the actual dataset and other miscellaneous computing, as well as sortable firepowers can be found from this sheet. Currently it has a whopping 97% of world's firepower accounted for, that's a record. Thank you all!

I am indebted to Jordic69, as well as to Colin Lantrip 3, n0s3, nikol000 and Count Miden for their help with collecting and analyzing the data.

In case you have proposals or ideas what would you like to see in this weekly issue, don't hesitate to PM me. My mailbox is always open for everyone.

See you again next week!
