Someone put me straight: ditching/death

[TEShaw]

Please rise above the 'straight' jokes.

From what I've read here (and there) a ditch does not count as a death.

As in, if you get a safe ditch, it does not count againt your kill/death ratio.

Is this correct?

That should be fairly understandable.

Thank you.

Right.

A ditch in friendly territory is a ditch, doesn't count as a death.  

A ditch in enemy territory (even if you havent been shot) is a capture, and does count as a "death" for the K/D.
