Sorry if this is a noob questions or has been asked before, but can someone please explain to me; If I get the first hit on someone and do 66% of the damage, but another team mate deals the killing shot, why do I only get the kill assist? Surely they should get the assist because I did the majority of the damage?
If you dealt 75% damage or more then it’s an assist that counts as a kill.
And foes
Whats the percentage for squad mates? 60?
I don’t know that. If I had to guess then it would be 75%.
Because you did not kill them. You only get credit for a kill when you are the one to kill them.
Yes, that means that if you do 99% damage to someone, and they slip off their rock, taking 1% in fall damage and die, you don’t get the kill.
However, if your teammate finishes them off, and you did 75% or more damage, you get a kill credit. This is new in BF4.

Because you answered it yourself you didn’t get the kill.
And at least there’s a possibility for you to get the kill now in bf4 if you do more then 75% damage
