Nope, it comes from the uploaded battle results, which contain data for all 30 in a battle participated tanks.

Is this data taken from the dossiers uploaded by players themselves?

This statistics does not seem to belong to the newcommers. Consider the following: how could a player who is new to the game know about vbaddict.net and ADU?

Didn’t SerB say something yesterday on the lines of
“there are no suitable premium french med tanks, because all the models WG has need to be used to plug holes on the AMX 30 branch” ?

You forgot to mention that the US would rather spend their money on fast food and liposuction.

The data consists of 960144 games from the last 30 days, with around 30 Mio tanks participated.

Some newer tanks like the E25 and MT-25 are fresh, as you can see on the amount of participated tanks. You can exclude them by setting the minimum battles to 5000:

I always try the mods in a training room because sometimes (very rarely) replays work and battles don’t.

You guys are lucky to have AFKers mostly in low tier vehicles.

If you come and have a look at the situation on the Chinese server, you will discover:
The tank that AFK the most is Type 59 (about 10%, yet they still profit without prem account!).
The tank that bot the most is Type 59 (about 30%, and they profit even more than AFKers!).
The Tier 7+ tank that has the most noob drivers is Type 59 (about 30%).
However there’re still roughly 10% excellent players and 5% unicums (they farm mostly in Types coz they’re really OP if well played).
By the way, the tank that appears the most in Tier 8 battles is Type 59 (more than 3 on each side almost every battle, constantly run into battles with 5+ per side, battles with 28+ Types in total reported now and again)
Finally, the best selling premium tank is definitely Type 59 (400677 Types altogether, along with 871 Golden Types so far). And the number of Types is second only to that of IS-3s among Tier 8 vehicles.

See for yourself: http://wot.garphy.com/?type=record
(Yeah I know it’s Chinese, but I don’t see big problems. Also you can sort the vehicles by clicking the columnheaders)

PS: The columnheaders on the left half of the page are (from left to right):
Vehicle Name
Number of Vehicles (on the Chinese server)
Average Winrate
Winrate of the Other Vehicles in the Same Tier of the Same Class
(Winrate) Record (X battles needed to be taken into account. Values of X from Tier 1 to 10 are: 50 50 100 100 150 200 250 300 400 450)
Record Holder (on the Chinese server of course)

2) Collecting such data 1 day after patch is useless!

This! There are a lot of people who experience game crashes right after a patch release due to incompatible mods, improper installation or any other technical reason. I call this data wrong.

Or we would increase exponentially. NA is the largest market in gaming and the reason its focused the most by many devs. Next are the euros who spend their toothbrush and tooth paste allowances on gaming instead. And the RU sector is usually one of the least focused “large regions” because it’s a fact they are dirty thieves, with the highest piracy levels in gaming and non-gaming software.
