And the source of your statistics is where exactly? I can make up statistics too. That doesnt make them true without a verifiable source.
Anyone whos actually played CW can tell you they encounter 12mans in more than 1 in 100 games. Clearly you dont know what youre talking about.
Seriously? I play mostly CW. I lead WnW for Davion and often drop in CW at other times. The last two nights I have been running mixed large groups of pilots, sometimes with 12, often with 10 or less. Between the 8 drops on Wed, and the 4 drops last night, we only ran into one full 12 man group from CWI. So I would say facing one 12 man group in 12 drops does not make the majority of groups in CW 12 mans.
Now in the EU and NA prime times your chances of facing a Davion 12 man group are much higher because we actively seek out pugs and get them in groups on our faction TS. But in most cases our 12 man is a group of mixed pilots from different units, or some who are not in a unit. So while we are better than your average pug group, we are not as good as a single unit 12 man group and we have lost to pug groups before (all be it well organized ones with excellent pilots).
Regardless, your argument is very flawed. It doesn't matter if Russ said it in a town hall meeting and it has been quoted by so many people over and over again. 12 matches, and only one against a single unit pre-made 12 man. Don't believe me? Here is the video from last nights four drops.
