Its quite easy to explain the situation surrounding the kills.
So u know where to look on each report that shows best weapon kills/vehicle kill an all that jazz.
Right underneath after you finish each round on your report you will see ribbons that you have earned ie conquest ribbon,anti vehicle ribbon etc(this is where exactly we work all the kills out apart from the self explanatory best weapon kills)
Right so requirements dont allow for explosive or vehicle kill in any general weapon award.
Vehicle kills can be tracked via best vehicle section on the report.
Grenades cannot be tracked as there is no grenade area on the report or respective grenade ribbon same goes for C4 and projectile explosives.The tracking of this has to be done through process of elimination which il get into in a bit.
When it comes to ribbons like any other achievement you have to meet certain criteria to earn these same goes for service stars and medals.Anyways any general weapon ribbon (primary weapon ie AR,Carbine,Lmg,Shotgun,Dmr,Sniper Rifle) all take the same amount of kills to earn a ribbon(6 kills total)
Pistol ribbons require 4 kills to achieve the relevant ribbon.
Theres also a respective ribbon for mêlée (knifings) but id have to check what this requires as I haven't earned one in a bit but you get the idea.
Bare in mind that only total kills that amount to a ribbon are part of the confirmable kills you hear us talking about.
So here's the situation -
You play a round with the assault class with the AR160 and achieve 14 kills,you switch to an Lmg achieving another 8 kills,then onto a shotgun with a further 5 kills.When in CQC you achieve 12 kills with the M1911 pistol and 6 grenade kills and this concludes your round.
So lets work out the kills -
On the score board you find you total kills which for that round would be 45.Bare in mind this will not be the confirming total due to use of explosives and kills earned that dont accumulate to earning a ribbon.
So we know we need to work out weapon ribbons and decipher possible explosives as well.
Best weapon for this would be -
AR160 with 14 kills (confirmable as it shows on report)
Ribbons earned -
LMG ribbon = 6 kills - you had 8 LMG kill so theres 2 kills that cannot be confirmed as they don't amount to the criteria to earn a ribbon so 6 total here.
Shotgun ribbon = 6 kills - you earned 5 kills which wont amount to a ribbon so therefore cannot be confirmed
Pistol ribbon = 4 kills - you earned a total of 12 kills with the M1911 all of which are confirmable as it takes the 4 kills to make a ribbon.This will show on the report as a pistol ribbon and have a x3 beside it to show that theres 3 ribbons and therefore 12 kill.
You earned 6 grenade kills which dont have a respective ribbon so therefore cannot be confirmed.
You total all the kills that are confirmable ie your best weapon and other weapon ribbons which would give you your confirmable kill total that proves no explosives or vehicle kills have been included.In this case it would be a total of 32.
The only way we can effectively rule out the possibility of explosive kills is by using this method of elimination to confirm with best weapon and ribbons.
And there you have it our best weapon and ribbon rule what you hear us all talking about.
I cant get online until Monday so I figured id try and do you a write up to explain how we do this,if you need any help with this im afraid it'll have to wait until Monday night buddy.
