Hi All,
Here are the results for the supercontainer project: The 5,000 doubloons, 90 days premium time and 100 Camouflages were added following player feedback about 2/3s of the way through data gathering. I was unaware that these options existed, and that they apparently did not appear in last year's supercontainers. This means that these percentages may be slightly incorrect, but as they sum to less than 1% of the data, I would suggest that they would have a fairly minimal impact.

As we can see, WG appears to have kept the drop rates fairly constant over the two years, with a few additions. The only item which appears to have been made less likely is premium time, camouflages and doubloons. All of them have had a larger drop added, (e.g. 90 days premium), so it appears that premium containers are (slightly) more generous than last year.
For the statisticians amongst you, I changed my data gathering methodology, which may have skewed the result, but it would appear not by much. Last year I gathered the results from a forum thread then manually inputted them into a spreadsheet. It took hours, so this time I created a google form which allowed me to collect four times the amount of container openings.
Thank you to the 365 people who submitted responses, you made this project possible.
Best,
