Interesting stuff.

However my issue would be what is the definition of 'tank vs tank'?

In reality, well game reality, 1 vs 1 is not as common as multiple vs 1 or multiple vs multiple.

If one empire gets the idea that their tank is very good there will probably be a lot of them on the battlefield because that empires tank drivers have confidence in them and the encounters between their tanks and their enemy's will be more likely to be 'lots' vs 'fewer' resulting in more kills for the 'lots' side and fewer for the 'fewer'.

Conversely, if a side thinks their tanks are worse the opposite would apply and the upshot is everyone's perceptions would be borne out.

Having said that, this information from Higby is good to see but before puttting too much faith in it I would like to see data on the numbers of tanks being pulled and also to allow the change to bed in a little and reexamine the data over a longer period of time.
