| Can someone explain the "confirmed" and "unco
Just wondering. I see people with low posts and a high confirmed kill count and high posts with a low confirmed kill count.

Country:  | I think it's the amount of stuff you put in the posts- if you just put "nice pics" all the time you'll not get many but if you write an essay you'll get loads. Also if you post more than a certain amount in a day you exceed the number of allowed posts and don't get any kills for it

| But what's the purpose? Does it affect rank? What is the advantage, if any, of exchanging unconfirmed for conformed kills?

Country:  | Well now, that's the big mystery. 
No one seems to really know, not even the admins. It seems like at least once a month someone asks the question, but no one has ever managed to find the answer.  | |

Country:  | Yep, along with "Why do the USAF use a different mid-flight refuelling system?" 
The reason my kills are so low is because im on here A LOT, and never get anything If im away for about a day, ill be able to come on here and score a few, but about 10 posts later it will stop giving me them
I wish we had proper awards that are actually also awarded in real life.
