Win/Loss chance on the fly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi it would be a nice feature to see the "current win chances" when we press 
Tab within the game. So pressing tab should display both the win chances at the 
start and also present win chances. You can calculate the current win chances 
by the eliminating dead players from the calculations.

I want this to be an Enhancement, not an issue. Don't know how to change the 
type. :(

It's impossible. We have no information about current health of non spotted 
vehicles, and also win chances in battle are highly depended from current 
tactical position. I don't want to create AI. :)

Of course you shouldn't use the health of the tank. My suggestion is to 
calculate the current win chance from the number of tanks currently alive in 
the game and the efficiency of the players currently alive. It might not be as 
accurate as the first calculated win/loss chances. But at least this feature 
would give some morale to the players to continue on even if their teams 
initial chances of winning were low.

What chances to win if left only 2 tanks - one with 70% GWR/100 HP and second 
with 30% GWR/2000 HP?

Take the HP thing out of the calculation in on the fly W/L chances. Suppose a 
player with 70 w/l percentage with just 20% of health remains in one team, and 
a player with 40 w/l percentage with 100% health remains on the other team, a 
simple calculation using the battle survived %, hit ratio % etc could give us  
fair idea who has a better chance to win regardless of health. As I said it is 
not at all accurate as the first calculation. And also my apologies for 
reposting an idea which was already discussed earlier(No. 62). I saw it only 
after posting this.

No, I will not do it just to get questions about that is lie.
If you need it - the sources are opened.
