Molotov kills not being counted

Hi.

I did a search and couldn't find anything. Basically I've come to notice molotov kills aren't counted. Or am I experiencing a bug?

I can only recall (certainly) getting molotov kills on Ramiel. Molotov on two infantry men = no kills added. Molotov humvee kills driver and gunner (only people using it) and they both died but no kills were added.

I'm actually a supporter of the score board system too because (to an extent) it does tell you how your team mates are doing (if they're staying in a squad/together, if they're doing lots of capping, if they're tk'ing and what not). The only exception I would really say are snipers and pilots.

Please no hostility toward the scoreboard because it is still here :)

Anyway, is this intentional (as part of the fix for the molotov bugs killing APC and tank crew)?

The flame used for molotovs is the static flame in wrecks. As a result the flame counts as a suicide.

Yes, it also helps with smacktards tking without punishment, hopefully it will be fixed or hopefully they will remove the Molotov.

Don't worry about the kills just know that you pissed someone off by killing them with a Molotov.

Very low priority bug, probably wont be fixed anytime soon (more likely will see kill counter removed before this bug gets fixed :P ), but thank you for the report.
