“Spotting damage can be manually increased as a result of passive scouting”
So what should – for example – a Chaffee do in a Tier X game? Spotting is its core business, isn’t it? …you can’t measure efficency of a scout by kills and dmg. Although a good player will also achieve good values here with ease. (but still less than with a heavy or TD)

“Besides, it would benefit a very little group of players that play only scouts”
Since I’m used to brawl in the front line, I often have more spotting dmg than the scouts in my team.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not whining to get better eff or whatever. I just think all different classes should get equal possabilies to achieve the same WN7/Eff. Which isn’t given now…

“a more dynamic formula that would take the last X games”
agree

Spotting damage can be manually increased as a result of passive scouting about as much as you can increase regular damage by camping (or KD-ratio by killing low-health tanks instead of using your 560-750 alpha), so it wouldn’t really show much.
Besides, it would benefit a very little group of players that play only scouts – i doubt that you have ~10-20k games with 50-70% of them being scouts (of different gameplay and purpose).
What i would like though is the AVG amount of spots you get, or a more dynamic formula that would take the last X games – when i started i played like a brainless tard, which i don’t play like now, but the first 2-4k (~) games still count even though i’ll break the 17k limit soon.

It would be so easy with just a profile link, i googled up and found only some 48% guy who’s got nothing higher than a grille…

they should raise the border values, too many purples running around
maybe 2000/2000 WN/ER :D

I would highly appreciate spotting dmg part of the wn7/eff formular.
Aggressive gameplay (brawler) would benefit from it and campers.. well… NOT :)

You might get the data now, but you’ll have problems getting the correct data for past matches. Where spotting dmg wasn’t part of the after-battle report. But could also be wrong here…

I play 50% of my games in SPGs. Also you might try looking my name up. =)

yeah maybe you are right its not worth it coz not many ppl play scouts , but you can’t measure efficency of a scout but dmg and kills

You -can- technically get it – if it’s written in the after-battle stats it could be stored somewhere, but it could be some tough shit to get – totally not worth the “accuracy” of the formula.
I’m pretty sure that anything that shows up in your dossier (the cache-file stored in your game-files) can technically be brought up to the xvm database – but there’s no real use in that.

Unfortunately you don’t get this kind of data from WG, AFAIK.
