Well, With so many shots fired, I'm still a bit confused as to what constitutes a "hit", and what's a "miss" when I fire my weapon.... Now dont get me wrong, I know that I hit the guy if he dies, and yeah, I sometimes see that little skewed plus sign after shooting.... That's not what I'm talking about.

I'm wondering about the stats on this site... It says I've fired X shots, and hit with Y of them. Then calculates my "accuracy"  based on these two numbers alone.

Now despite playing a lot of karkand, I also play other maps. And even if it only serves to annoy the pilots/drivers, I ALWAYS shoot at helos, vehicles, planes, etc. when they fly/drive by. Who knows, I might do some damage, and thus actually help the team....

But does it count as a "hit", if I say.. fire my M24 at the attack helo and dont damage him (M24 apparently doesn't damage the attack helo, same as many other guns), or does it only count as a hit, if I use a weapon like say the PKM and DO damage him ?

Yes shooting with the M24 does damage an attack helo. Same as any gun, including the pistols... you can't help but damage him; so you either hit and do damage or miss, simple as that.

Basic rule of thumb: if you see the hit indication it's classed as a hit.

it's a hit, when u see the hit brackets, or as u say "that little skewed plus". otherwise it's wasted......

Ok.... Let's forget about the helo then.... If I do NO damage.. lets say I'm knifing a tank !
Is it a hit then, even though there's not a snowballs chance in hell of damaging him ?

Ok, so the rule is.... DAMAGE.... That would explain why my shotgun accuracy is so low. I just happen to fire at too far distance, and usually at airplanes (!)
