I've wondered this for a while since I lay a lot of mines...

If I lay mines (especially at mashtuur) and then hop in a vehicle, many many times I'll drive off only to get 2 or 3 kills.  But in the top left corner, it will say MoChief [vodnik] xxxx

So, I was in a vodnik.... but it was an AT Mine that killed them.  Do these AT mine kills then count as transport kills or AT Mine kills?

Anyone know?  And if these ARE being miscounted as vehicle kills, shouldn't this be an easy fix for EA?

(Same issue applies to claymores when I'm in a vehicle.... any vehicle be it a tank, helo, plane, etc.)

They count as transport kills, ie road kills. And yes, AT mines are shown in stats.

Sometimes if the guy jumps out, and the vodnik still hits the mine, the vodnik will blow which will still kill him.

this happens when they someone runs over the mine which blows up the vodnik which kills people. This can be caused by:
a) there's people around the mines on foot.
b) the person sees the mine knows they cant stop so bails but the car goes to far and blows up anyway.

These kills are therefore not counted as Mine kills but transport road kills. Well at least thats what meant to happen, But it seems you have a different problem which Ive only seen once or twice as commander and getting arty kills coming up as drunkface[some random weapon or vehicle]somerandomdeadguy.

Heh... looks like we have 2 saying they are mine kills, 1 saying it's a transport road kill. 

Just to be clear, the ONLY way I get the top left screen to say MoChief [AT Mine] xxxx is if I'm infantry at the time of the kill.  Therefore, I somewhat assume all the times my mine kills show as MoChief [vehicle] xxxx that they are being miscounted as kills in that vehicle. 

It's not a big deal.  But I have over 4700 transport kills and wondered if I really have that many or if it's inflated by this glitch.  I looked around others stats with my amount of time played in transport and I have waaaay more than the other random samples I took.   So, while I love nothing more than to pull up in flank to an enemy base and mow them down until I'm sniped..... I'm trying to gauge if those are true kills or not.

Yeah well I was wondering about that myself.

Often a mine kill will just show up as [killed] - the same as what you get when you shoot one of those fuel drums next to an enemy.

A kill is a kill, and it's not a big deal for me, but it was pretty disappointing the other day when I got at least 30 kills in a round with mines but no Veteran Explosive because half of them count as roadkills or [killed] kills.

Might have to go back to C4.
