I’ve noticed on rare occasions, I wll actively scout an enemy, and they will be killed, even says “scouted target destroyed,” but I will get neither the assist nor the Intelligence award.
I DO know that scouting a target the instant it dies doesn’t count, I get that. But sometimes this happens when more than a few seconds goes by and I’m wondering what causes that. Mainly because I like to do the “get Intelligence streak x amount of times” daily challenges.
EDIT: Ok now two matches in a row it happened.
What gives? This is stalling the challenge and I find that both peculiar and frustrating.

It could be that the scouting ended right as he died. I’ll have to watch a video of it happening to be for sure. It’s happened to me, and I’ve just figured he died after the scouting was over.
It’s happening too soon for scouting to have deteriorated. Also, it will work as it should on the next attempt at the same or even more time.
Yeah, they won’t fix it. Gaijin doesn’t fix bugs that prevents you from getting RP or SL. However they will nerf things like rockets because rocketing a base means you can grind faster (which means you will spend less money)

Iirc if the target is already “spotted” by the player shooting at it, it won’t count as a scouting assist or anything.
Just not sure how the game defines an enemy who’s already spotted

As in looking at it? Because you can’t scout something already scouted.
If so that explains a lot.
yeah, sorry could have phrased that better

No it’s just me being pedantic lol :D
If you scout a target that was already shot, then it will not give you intelligence if the person that shot them finishes them off after you scout them.
It’s to prevent exploitation.
No bug.

was changed last year to this, if the scouted target takes damage before you scout them and then died soon after the scouting does not reward points
In Ground Arcade and Realistic battles, when a scouted target is destroyed by a player who attacked it within 60 seconds before the scouting, the scout is now always given a “Not by intelligence” reward. This also means that the scout will not receive an increase in air strike and artillery points (in Ground Arcade), and a reduction in the cost of spawn points for aircraft (Ground Realistic).

If they’ve already been scouted by someone else first no one gets the intelligence reward
I’m actually trying to get the “in search of prey” challenge for the current BP and I’m not geting any progress although ingame and at the end of the match I get the intelligence awards. I even got 3 in a row without dying and nothing. Anyone else has the same issue? This is extremely annoying because I don’t like ground battles and it’s a pain in the a$$ anyway. I’ve had a similar issue last season with a challenge that required aicraft kills using ship guns in manual mode, and they would register randomly, no matter how many kills I got. I just gave up on that one.
No need for anyone to mention the rank of my vehicles, I’m not new to the game and I use only rank 3 and above so that’s not the issue.
It only works if you actively scout a tank that wasn’t pinged with damage already. As in you can’t game the system and wait for a damaged enemy tank marker to pop up. You have to scout it first before anything else.
