If you have about 4 times the number of users, you best have about 4 times the number of kills. Kill total is rather pointless cross factions but might be something to look into when just talking about a single faction.

The things I see that need looked at in that link is the massive amount of users for TR and how the KPU scales with BR. But this is just 3 weapons out of 20ish. Then you have outside factors that effect some factions vehicles more than others like infantry weapons.

Not just Strikers, all ESAV weapons for infantry and MAXes. TR have a good lock-on and easy to use Fractures, VS get Lancers and Vortexes that you almost can't miss with, and NC have slow guided Phoenixes and Ravens with max range capped at 300m-350m. Accounting for those weapons it's no wonder why NC vehicle weapons are under performing next to other factions.

You tend to loose details when focusing on parts of data. Big picture and all. Even though that term kinda counters itself. Looking at a big picture or painting blurs out the details and focusing shows those details. Looking at data is more or less the exact opposite of that.
