Weekly firepower rankings, Day 3598

Day 3,598, 06:54 • Published in Finland Finland • by TheJuliusCaesar

Greetings,

Time flies. Again below are the firepower rankings a and deployment efficiencies of each nation, as well as a new addition of fitting the development of firepower to a graph, as we have finally enough data-points for that. Let's start with the firepower changes, as we can deduce some world events from those changes:

FIREPOWER COMPARISON



- The firepowers (meaning, damage and/or kills) of both Pacifica (Poland, Hungary, USA, Finland) and those attacking them (namely Turkey, Italy) have gone downwards, most probably because the conflict between the counterparts died last week. People spent EB's and fought harder than usual, and now is time to wind it down for the moment.

- Conversely, the battles between Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) and Greece have flared up during the past week, resulting in heightened firepowers of both nations, as well as that of Serbia's and perhaps Bulgaria's.

- Iran came crashing down from its last week's extra high firepower. Two weeks ago the Persians were in similar figures to this week.

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

Below, then, are again the 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.

GROUND BATTLES

AIR BATTLES



For the actual dataset and other miscellaneous computing, as well as sortable firepowers can be found from this sheet. Currently it has 95% of world's firepower accounted for, but many (small) nations are missing.

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