ShinyWot App

World of Tanks statistics helper ShinyWot.

Shows some charts based on WG API.

• Battles fought histogam.
• WinRate histogam.
• dnorm for WinRate chart.
• Average damage dealt vs WinRatio by Vehicle type.
• Spotted tanks vs WinRatio by Vehicle type.

Or at least a small part.

Wargaming.net Public API is a set of API methods that provide access to Wargaming.net content, including in-game and game-related content, as well as player statistics.

• RESTfull requests
• json response back

For request the following parameters must be specified:

• Target uri, like: api.worldoftanks.eu/wot/encyclopedia/vehicles
• account_id for returning player stats.

There are also additional headers to use:

• fields, extra, tank_id can be used to customise the results.

Initialization:

During the first start, the app will try to fetch the tank list from the API. Tank names and tiers are rarely changed and therefore a local copy is saved and used if possible.

The values are converted to data.frame and saved to Vehicles variable and TankopediaVehicles.csv file.

• Create request uri and use jsonlite to get json and convert it to data.frame (VehicleStats).
• Some values are calculated based on average values and the total battles fought.
• Data.tables are merged by tank_id. Tier, type and name are swon together with the stats.
• Extreme winRate values are deleted. Two (2) sd are used, keeping 95.449% of values. The very low (0%) or high(100%) WinRate indicates the low battle count and disturbs the charts. The ideal WinRate is 50% (by devs).
• Additional UI filers like Tier or in garage.
• Plot results and Shiny back to page.
