Adding Parameters "Assists" and "Scouting" to Player Statistics

Dear developers and forum members,

I would like to propose an enhancement to the player statistics in War Thunder. In my opinion, it would be beneficial to add parameters such as “Assists” and “Scouting” to the statistics. This would allow for a more comprehensive assessment of each player’s contribution to team actions and increase the motivation for cooperative play.

Currently, the statistics only account for the number of kills, which does not always objectively reflect a player’s effectiveness and usefulness on the battlefield. Introducing “Assists” and “Scouting” parameters would help to recognize important aspects of team play that often go unnoticed.

Additionally, I propose adding a KDA parameter (Kills/Deaths/Assists) that would take into account the number of kills, deaths, and assists. This would make the statistics fairer and more informative, allowing for a better evaluation of each player’s contribution to team success.

I am confident that such changes would positively impact the gameplay and make it more diverse and engaging for all participants.

Best regards, Air_Fighter

Which statistics? Endgame or overall?

While these parameters are already available on the endgame screen, they are not displayed in the overall statistics.
@EddieVanHalo, I suggest adding the KDA parameter to the main profile statistics screen, replacing or nearing the current KD parameter. Additionally, I propose adding “Assist” and “Scouting” statistics to the vehicle statistics screen in the table format.

I played a good number of games where I scouted for battle pass points.It was good fun actually being right under the enemies nose near spawn but not firing.Trouble is after a few games you have no kills to show for it and that is not good if you care about your stats.

Aye im in that boat now, Im using the vextra and trying ot be more passive, im sat with a 0.5 KD yet good Rp earnings, it’s quite silly we dont have assist and scouting metrics added to the stat cards after a good 10 years xD

… After being given an assist for shooting off a P51C’s wing just now, and earlier a spitfire’s rudder I yearn for this at least for air modes.

Both assists despite my damage being the reason the enemy entered an unrecoverable spin.

Definition of a kill in air is way too nebulous. Shoot the rudder or wingtip while they’re turning = instakill, but doesn’t give kill credit.

Shoot the horizontal stabilizer black = they fly back to base no problem.

As such, tracking assists publicly would be a nice stat to keep track of. A tank will only ever die under strict circumstances. Planes are… highly dependent on the pilot and circumstance outside of direct pilot kills.

… yes am salty for not getting that kill credit.
