Summarize your bug Statistics for players are incorrectly reported for the various game modes. For example, my vehicle kills within Firestorm is listed as 83, however, I have only used a vehicle once in the mode and never got a kill with it. This seems to be some sort of stat spillage from one mode to another, similar to the Single Player stats counting towards Multiplayer. As a side note, I first noticed this issue with the initial release of Firestorm. Even before playing a match of the mode my vehicle kills were listed - although I can't recall if the number was 83 or something else.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Viewing player stats.
What happens when the bug occurs? One serious concern this causes is the potential to develop false-positive actions on accounts via FairFight. If the information regarding FF is true in that it analyzes player statistics (real-time whilst looking for anomalies), erroneous stat reporting in the game has the potential to flag players who are not cheating or have not cheated.
What should be happening instead? Player statistics should reflect their respective modes.

Attached is a picture of the site with call-outs surrounding erroneous information. In no particular order: the vehicle kills as mentioned before are incorrect for Firestorm, the squad losses stat is incorrect, the squad win percentages are incorrect.
As a final note, I should make it known that I do not know exactly how FF works and the implications listed are speculation. If this is not the case, and FF only relies on player data collected during a match, this bug is more a nuisance than a severe flaw.
Thanks for the heads up on that, @iHuntShivans. The BFV team is aware of this happening to players. 👍
