On average, axis aircraft are mentioned half as much as allied aircraft.
How can that be possible! This forum is accused of being to Luftwaffe oriented???!!!!!
Well, I probably missed a few fighters when constructing the listm but:which were the least mentioned SE fighters. at a guess i would think French, and minor minor nations. To be fair should perhaps only think about types in quantity production and those serving during WWII.Possible contenders might be
MB 152, MS406, D520, IAR80, CA13, Pzl11, Pzl24, Fokker DXXI, IK-2, IK-3
I wonder also if a known type has never been mentioned in ten years. now that would be a find....
We could check the thread-names or only the first post, that could easily be done if I change the regex in my crawler. But in my experience the number of occurrence of a word id roughly co-linear with the times it is really discussed. So it's safe to say that the BF109 is less discussed in this forum.it would be more telling if there was a means by which the aircraft that has had the greatest number of threads opened on it or that were the actual subject of discussion within a thread or post could be determined.
That is correct. I could even check that, but it means using nl (natural language) algorithms which would make my program much more complicated. It was just a little experiment for me. Maybe when I have time, I'll fire up my nl-toolkit. But I'll probably have to crawl again as I now collected the data in a form that was most suitable for regex searches.just shows we shouldnt assume anything. mind you those 16000 entries about the 109 might all be positive, whilst the 32000 spitfire entries might all be things i dont want to talk about....
Let's stuff the ballot box.
F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair, F4U Corsair
Good question.Did the search look P51 and Mustang? or P51 or Mustang?
(p(| |-|\.)51([bcdk] | )mustang)|(p(| |-|\.)51([bcdk] | ))|(mustang)
(spitfire)|(spit )
Yup, there are probably more little inaccuracies. It's difficult to get it all right in a reasonably amount of time and most of these mistakes aren't significant anyway.WOW Marcel a lot of thought has gone into that You could have added A36 and Apache I suppose.
Ah, not much I'm afraid:What about....what is Jan thinking....
