Some of the most important stats IMO are not itemized on that page.
Engineering Points per Game, kills attacking and defending the point, ect.
You can get all the kills in the world and die very little in vehicles, and be absolutely a brick for your team.
Or you could be on the point defending, attacking, building ammo, rallies, sacrificing squads to buy your team time.
That is what counts.

Like @120062891 and @JAREDUP said, k/d are meaningless in Enlisted.
- a tank player could camp all match in grey zone, never die once, get a perfect k/d… and be a hindrance to his team by not covering the cap.
- a lvl 5 players could keep dying repeatedly using his 9 riflemen squad… But inside the cap and as such help caping or defending, thus bringing victory even with a shit k/d.
- Best example. The camping sniper. Never dies, perfect k/d, absolutely worthless.
Enlisted is all about knowing each classes specific roles, choosing the proper one depending on the battle situation and working as a team.

Speak for yourself peasants, I’m at a K/D of 40-1
I am probably in the minority here but I think kill death ratio should definitely mean something in the game, but it’s pretty common to see players with 100 kills and a negative kill death ratio.
The only real penalty for having a negative kill death ratio as you wind up hurting your team, In the sense that you’re burning up more tickets, but that’s not something that most people think about when they’re playing, the mindset in game, well the seemingly predominant one, is to rush into the point as quickly as possible and try to get as many kills you can and of course take the point or defend it.
But even if they did implement some kind of recognition or reward for having a positive kill death ratio, It might be counter-productive in the sense that encouraging players to be more circumspect with their virtual lives might be counter to good gameplay
There is also a big divide in the community, about whether or not you’re on the point, some people feel that if you’re not on the point you’re not contributing, the wider view of course is that as long as you’re killing the enemy you’re contributing, and that those guys that end the match with zero were very few losses are helping to pay for the guys that are killing themselves on a point with massive kill death ratios that are in the negative

You would trigger people on this forum with this question. They will go bananas 
3/1 for me
In fact at the last count, it was more like 3.04 I do not have a lot of games though, as I have taken a huge break and just came back again. I have played about 1480 games or so.
If you play on Moscow, find me for some games. Would be fun to play with like minded individual
Cheers.

You are absolutely correct. It does matter. We all play for different reasons and don’t let anyone here tell you what’s important. You can hone your skills by beings specialized player and become master of one skill. Once you do, you can add that to your team’s effort to win.
Don’t focus on winning. Chances are most of the time you will play on random team and won’t be able to communicate with your teammates. So basic math tells you that you win as much as you lose on random teams. Plenty of factors come into play. The best you can do is make your contribution. If you are tanker, than assist your infantry. If you are a pilot that assist by taking out tanks, enemy planes and infantry concentrations.
Play as you see fit as you like it.
Good luck in your games!
(and if you are ever in Moscow, add me and lets play)

Kill death ratio mean nothing, take normandy campaign as example, you get instantly killed by a plane a lot of time, so you die more you kill, but if in all this death you have build rally, captured zone ecc… you already have done a better job and proved yourself as good player wo support his team for the victory

K/D ratio as it is counted in this game full with idiotic AI is a joke, for example, I spawn, BOOM! goes the bomb, 8 of my guys are dead, and without doing anything I’m at -8 negative K/D ratio, clearly a skill issue right?, so now I have to solo kill 8 more guys before dying and still I’m left with -1 negative K/D ratio, WOW! a truly meaningful metric indeed, GTFO!!
What would make sense is a kill/spawn ratio without planes/tanks counted and then you would MAYBE have some meaningful metric which you could possibly use…
Yes and no to a lot of what you say.
Its not always about throwing yourself at the point.
I sacrifice squads all the time to buy time if we lose a point and I want to give my team a chance.
I’ll also play interference outside the point to thin them out before they contest it.
All of these efforts mean that I die a lot. The most important thing is I am making my deaths meaningful. Sure it costs tickets but its a worthy spend so long as you are being smart about it.
The problem I have with a lot of players who specialize is if you take them out of their element they lack the skill to help in other ways. I dont mind if someone is in a tank and doing what they can, but if they see me struggling to contain things, they need to have the situational awareness to swap to infantry and help with the push or the block.
The best saying for this game is.
“A jack of all trades is a master of none, but still better than a master of one.”

It’s mean nothing in here.
I just played a axis Moscow game and soviet lost the game by timer. They didn’t want to rush and die trying to do something useful.
And it’s not like game is completely balanced, I had to kill ppsh spammers by my bolt action rifle in there. You think who’s going to get the better kdr, my lvl 12 axis squads or a max level allies? As simple as that, even if I lost 20 squad to defend the capture point, making raly, destroying enemy raly, enemy tank and bomber, we won the game because I helped and carried my team instead of camping and trying to get a better kdr.
150kill,20 death is better than a sniper camper with 60kill 3 death. Specially as defender.

Lol this is nonsense, just like the other examples provided above.
You all assume in your examples that just because you build an ammo box, captured a point, made a rally, destroyed enemy rally, and/or tank/plan, that somehow all of this is was DEFINITELY not made possible by someone on your team dropping bombs to take out enemy squads, or someone in a tank suppressing an enemy tank or etc.
What always made me amused is not the fact that basic math seems like rocket science here, it’s the fact that you choose to bundle everyone with K/D ratio into some sort of “lone useless sniper” or “spawn camping tanker”. I mean I can just as well tell you that building a rally point that isn’t used by a team, or constructing AT/AA gun locations that majority of team won’t find or is also useless… but that would make me act like you and therefore childish.
Lol yes, because a sniper with a bolt action rifle must immediately rush into melee combat with far better equipped assault squads to be worthy for you, right? I mean you really can’t see any scenario where it could have been the same sniper that saved your own ass as you build your ammo box? He could not have been the same sniper that covered you while you building/destroying a rally point? No, he can’t right? For someone like YOU, His K/D being high would automatically imply that he camped at the edge of the map shooting random players, NEVER helped his team, and his stats are meaningless therefore because they are better than yours!
Got it. A tanker mowing down infantry and holding an entire enemy team long enough to defend an objective AND surviving, DOES NOT help his team. Nope, it’s only the guy who died 45 times to build an ammo box or rally point. Cause that’s real skill. Lmao ok.
Silly quote and probably made by someone who was jack of all trades and master of none.
I have 1.62 million subscribers on my channel and those who play Enlisted on my channel and watch my streams can generally agree that being a master of ONE trade, is more than enough if your team has other masters. A team made up of “Jacks” going up against will not fair well.
Not this again. If someone is actually interested in what majority of forum participants think about KD see the link to a previous topic where @120921951 tried to prove his theory but ultimately failed to convey any meaningful thoughts. Was a fun topic though XD
Anyway if you concentrate on KD only you are probably losing a good portion of what this game has to offer…

Sadly you can’t even read my reply. I can get 300+ kill in tunisia without a single death, I can farm all t32/is1-2 in my king tiger in berlin but what about my lvl 12 Moscow campaign? Does it even matter if I die with my bolt action rifle 999 times when I’m defender? As defender you can rush and die all you want as long as you’re making your enemy suffer.
KDR mean nothing here because the game and the campaigns are not balanced. If you’re playing the easy side of the campaign then it’s much easier to get more kill and more important thing is there’s no tickets for defender. That’s the only advantage defender has, you should be an idiot to not use it, die all you want and there’s no punishment for it. If you’re not using it then you don’t even know how to play this game.
One last thing, Ik many people that play aggressive sniper, you know why? Because they don’t need to hide 150m behind the capture point to kill. They can aim while they’re rushing and helping.

Lol you didn’t have to really go and prove that you can’t read or comprehend.
I read your reply. And I know exactly what you meant - and I summarized it. The ration may mean nothing to you, but that’s all that it is - your opinion. Is it shared by some others? Probably. Is it substantiated? Perhaps. That’s not the issue. What is striking is the amount of agressiveness and hate that is demonstrated by some half wits here attacking anyone posting here and taking pride in their K/Ds.
The question becomes… what’s your problem? Why does he or I have to adhere to your “understanding” of the game? What makes you better than him or I? You think because you blurt something you hold true and it shared by some parrots here it is somehow a golden rule?
The OP likes his stats. He is a free man can post his thoughts about it. If your idea is to beat him down to death by claiming he is some newbie or retard, then it says more about you than the topic.
You can play “Defense” any way you see fit. But perhaps he plays for realism. Or perhaps he thinks he can make a better contribution in some other format rather than rushing and dying - who are you to belittle, call him an idiot for not using “your method” or etc? You do realize it’s a game right, kid? Try to cope, please.
Thank you for your time.

Told you these kids go bananas. It’s their soft spot. It must be a single stat that they may not excel at for variety of reasons - intentional or unintentional. But despite the hate, remember that it’s just their opinions. And I hope this dismissive and abusive language isn’t a motivation not to be on the forum or play the game.
Remember, people on the forum here do not represent the majority of community, and I hope that you continue to have fun playing this game any way you see fit.
