# Battles

The number of battles on an account or a vehicle, and the sample size every other statistic has to be read against.

Also known as battle count, games played, fights.

Battles is the denominator of everything. [Damage per game](/glossary/dpg.md), [win rate](/glossary/win-rate.md) and every rating are averages over it, so the count is what says whether an average is a measurement or a coincidence.

Useful thresholds: below about 100 battles on a vehicle the numbers are noise, a few hundred show a tendency, and a thousand or more is stable. Leaderboards apply a minimum for this reason, otherwise the top of every board would be accounts with a handful of lucky games.

Battle count also carries history. An account's lifetime figures include the battles played while learning the game, which is the entire argument for looking at a recent window instead.
