Does any one know what the Kills/Deaths means in the stats?

I know kills is the times you killed someone, but deaths? is that deaths when using this weapon or time some one killed you with one?

probably a stupid question, but.....

I'm not 100% sure.

I think it's deaths while using the weapon, because i've got 58 deaths with a defibulator and I can't even remember 1 let alone 58.. you'd remember that stuff 'cause it's funny when it happens.

yes i think it's kills holding the weapon and deaths whilst holding the weapon.
I play medic and have a lot of defib deaths, which i assume must be from trying to revive people under fire.

bit of an unusual way to do things though

good point didn't think of that.

I noticed arty isn't on the list ? or does that count as ground defence?

Artillery is in the stats that come back from gamespy, but it's always 0/0 so I excluded it, haven't checked whether or not that has changed for a while though.

On a side note, in the rankings, it seems that the k/d ratio should be weighted as per kit. For example, aviator k/d ratio weighted less than lets say defib. Anyone else (besides dedicated pilots lol) think that's a good idea?

I plan to do score down all vehicle kills in the gS rating, it's much harder to get kills as infantry and the ratings should reflefct that I think.

Do you score up for knike/defib kills, because there harder than mguns

(or is that taking it a bit far?)

Maybe a little ;-)

I'm going to clear down the ratings this afternoon and apply the new system, most of the top guys will see their ratings drop dramatically.

I basically discount kills with armour/planes/copters by 50% but I've also doubled the bonus given for small arms accuracy.

All old cached records will now be deleted after 30 days too.

that's awesome, and I'm not just saying that because I don't like flying planes (or those that fly them

I just looked at my ranking, and i had jumped around 600-700 places, woohoo!

Were you already thinking about doing this before I posted the idea earlier in this thread? Because you know how us Americans like to take credit for everything.

Good job!

Been planning it a while, see here.

It seems a little more fair so far.

I assumed so, I was poking fun at Americans (me being one) and our apparent need to feel important in the world.

hehe, that's a trait several other nations share, ours included. Not a pretty one I might add.

Just a quick question..

how do Global Scores work??

i have a Combat Score of 2204 ,Commander Score of 1431 and Teamwork Score of 1145 (4780 total)

but my Global Score is 3926 ??

what happed to my other 860 points??

Just checked and mine doesn't add up either, I really don't know to be honest, I'm not doing anything to those figures other than showing them on screen, that's exactly what comes back from gameSpy.

It doesnt add up because your combat score while being a commander doesnt count. Only the commander points do.

I thorght it was of all my TK/TD. ^_^ nice to know other wise

How about something like this (if it isn't already), have it depend on what is killing what

soldier kills soldier = 1
soldier kills jeep = 1.25
soldier kills apc = 1.75
soldier kills tank = 2
soldier kills helicopter = 2.5
soldier kills jet = 3

tank kills tank = 1
tank kills apc = .75
tank kills jeep = .5
tank kills helicopter = 2
tank kills jet = 4
tank kills soldier = .25

apc kills apc = 1
apc kills tank = 1.5
apc kills jeep = .75
apc kills chopper = 3
apc kills jet = 4
apc kills soldier = .5

helicopter kills helicopter = 1
helicopter kills jet = 3
helicopter kills tank = .75
helicopter kills apc = .5
helicopter kills jeep = .25
helicopter kills soldier = .25

jet kills jet = 1
jet kills chopper = .75
jet kills tank/apc = .5
jet kills jeep = .25
jet kills soldier = .15

or something like that for multipliers or dividers or whatevererers
