Without understanding why the numbers are what they are, no amount of statistics are going to help you balance the game. And to understand the why, you need to talk, not to mention listen, to your players – something which is sorely lacking in this beta-test...
MrVic: You say performance numbers are useless, all I can say is thats
wrong on so many levels. Also as I stated player opinions do not
cause the changes they are what flag you to a possible issue. So
they are useful and they do lead to changes, they give you your
starting point and your frame of reference when looking through the
data. The data is part of the checks and balances to ensure that
your not changing something that is truly not out of balance. As
Overlord stated about the IS-7 and the IS-4 both have some issues.
So Player opinions said so, they verified in the data, they are now
looking at solutions. What part of that does not sound like a good
idea? Why complain that numbers are wrong when their supporting
what you want to see change? I am really confused here...

75% of players responded that they felt that they prefer Russian tanks. And yet, you immediately twist that by saying that it’s just .29% of the players responding, thus invalidating the entire poll.
Yes, it’s a very small sample size and it’s taken from an uncontrolled group of players. But that does not mean that it’s invalid. In truth, it doesn’t mean that it is valid either, but that’s one of the big problems with statistics...
In any case, this highlights why you need to talk to your players.
MrVic: Yes I stated it, since it was twisted to begin with
Also I never stated it was not an
important number. Actually said the opposite, given my break down
of it was showing the truth of it nothing more since it was "pre
spun" prior to my post.
Let me show you again
You said "75% of players responded"
Thats incorrect and its a spin of it. I pointed out its 600 players
(this is a important number its accurate honest) The 75% of players
would be 150,000 voters, when it was only 600. Spinning was done on
the other end I just pointed out its frame of reference. Again 600
people is important boosting your number with a 75% blanket claim
just makes you seem like a troll.
Also why do you care you stated yourself numbers are "utterly useless" So you like numbers when they benefit you it seems
