i have noticed there are a lot of people that complain "such and such is an (insert vehical type) whore" on this forum and then the explination is that they have a high k/d ratio with vehicals but there k/d with there infantry weapon is low. 

how can this be a determination?

from my understanding k/d is determined by killing someone with a weapon vs. being killed while holding that same weapon.    it doesn't consider way to many variables to beable  to say this person is good at this but bad at that.   its easier to die as infantry so its expected you k/d should be lower then when your in a vehical.
so why does this seem to so often be the determination on if your a vehical whore or infantry.   

also who is so stupid to run past a vehical (that might give a little bit of an edge on a game your TRYING TO WIN) and just try to run to the next way point just to realize the guys in the vehicals were already there and took the flag.

like i said just curious why is such a poorly determined stat so defining of a character?

If someone yells "I'm the best..." (many kids do) because he has a total Kill/death of 2-3 but mostly plays tank and sucks at everything else (infantry k/d 0.7 or worse)... He might be good at tanking, but basically there is a chance he ruins the game for everybody else and is very crappy at anything else...

There is a good chance he's a real jerk - He might TK for tanks because he thinks it's his, being very obsessive with the tank, he's probably camping spawns and other places with his Elite Tank Skills

It's ok for people to use the tank often, but don't come yelling how great you are and demand that you deserve the tank all the time... Use single player for that...

It doesn't really mean a thing. It's just a way for people to try to rationalize why their K/D ratio is under 1.0, while this guy over here has one over 3.0. Every map in the game has at least a few vehicles in the armor, heli, or jet category. It makes no sense to avoid using them when you know damn well that you're going to run into enemies that ARE using them. Infantry vs. tanks, helis and jets get wasted. If the vehicle is there, use it.

It generally is applied to people who do nothing but fly a Jet/Chopper or drive armour cause they can slaughter people easy but cant out of a Vehicle but theres alot out there who just play armor or aviation but are good on the ground as well
