Relationship between TCRM and hitrate
The highlighted comment was created in this revision.
According to my stats, a tcrm battle on average contains 1194.5213333333336 shots, ignoring 1.0 bullets, and given the hitrate as x, you get tcrm score = 1194.5213333333336 * 16 / 35 * x = 546.0668952380953x
for 100 tcrm score, the expected hitrate is 0.18312774656738373 and for 0.001 improvement in hitrate, you get 0.001 * 546.0668952380953 = 0.5460668952380954 improvement in tcrm score.
If the relationship is mostly linear, then you can just expect that, 0.55 diff in tcrm indicates only 0.001 in hitrate.
Question: is that worth it to work on tcrm scores so hard for only 0.001 hitrate?
At first glance I would say no.
And doing some calculations, if the average points scored in a 35 round battle is ~5,000, and the average amount of bullets fired by you in a match is ~2,000, a gain of 0.001 in hitrate would mean that you hit 0.001 * 2,000 = 2 extra bullets per match.
The bullet damage done would go up to 20, assuming you are firing at a firepower of 2.
So if the prior score was 2500 / 5000 = 50%, a 0.001 hitrate gain would mean your score would go up to 2520 / 5020 = 50.4%.
But I took a lot of assumptions with my math and it's probably not super accurate.
And from practical perspective, my answer is no again. I have different guns with different tcrm score, however the best gun in tcrm generally performs even worse in rumble
The difference in tcrm score of those guns are ~0.5, sounds quite a lot, however after calc I know it’s only 0.001 However the best gun in rumble could score ~1.0 more APS than the worst (which, ironically, is the best gun in tcrm score) So I think it isn’t wise to improve tcrm score any more once the result is already among the best.
Maybe for gun challenges, we should create something more relevant to rumble score then.
Hmm, we could make a Targeting Challenge 2k19
I would vote for the targets to fire a 1 power bullet away from you each time you fire. Then it would be more sensitive to small changes even at higher levels.
I am not sure about that. You get a bit more difference in bulletscore, but less difference in survival, at least against the good movers (which are the most interesting)
Well it will affect both. Basically then we actually have a direct measure of the hitrate, and not just a measure of the amount by which we run out of energy.
The score wouldn't go to 100 anymore though so we would have to scale it.
