Scouting bugged?

[Just Terrible Gameplay]

Doesn't seem to be awarding assists or score etc for scouted enemies being killed or damaged? just played a match and scouted at least 10+ enemy vehicles to only get 4 assists and maybe 4 score awarded for them being damaged. Even if the enemy player is still scouted on the map by me and they die I'm struggling to get assists.

Scouted assists do not count towards assists.

They are talking about the assists you get from your scouted enemy gets damaged or killed. I have had this happen to me multiple times before as well as unable to scout any enemy despite them being in full view less than 200m away but the game still does not count it as scouting the enemy and get the lengthy cool-down timer.

Scouting assists and Kill assists are not the same assists. Though they are tallied in the same column in the scoreboard.

Scouting alone does not provide the Scout assist, the vehicle in question must be killed by a teammate while the scout is active.

So if you are working on a task to the effect of get X assists, you need to crit the target yourself before an ally finishes it, scouting assists do not count.

So when a scouted enemy gets killed I don't get anything for it? Only when they get damaged?

No. You get an assist.As long as the scouting you made is still active.
But it isnt a kill assist.

Spotting a vehicle "uncovers" it for 15 seconds i think, during that time it can not be spotted again. So if a Teammate spots somebody before you do you can not spot that person until the time has elapsed.

I believe you get the "Intelligence" trophy/whatever they're called. It's just a basic SL bonus, not a lot, but you should be scouting really to help your team rather than anything tbh. You could also take pot shots at the target you marked as well for a real kill/assist.

Off topic but OP I see a channel with your name playing other games at night. Is this you or just the same name. If it is you I will at least give you a like and a view.

I get the "according to intelligence" thingy pop up when some dies if I've scouted them but not always. Sometimes the player who is scouted gets killed and I don't receive anything for it.

In that case the scouting probably expired shortly before the enemy was killed.

Like I said previously the scoreboard lumps all assists together but there are actually two types assists in WT. Kill Assists and Scouting Assists.

Do scouting assists actually show up on the scoreboard? I've never had them count there so I thought they're not technically assists.
