What does the ES: mean when u kill an enemy player and see ES: Scout for example?

I play on German client and have no clue and im just curious. Never thought about it till now. Does it mean enemy soldier maybe? Lmk pls.

Not sure if it’s due to german region language but everytime I defeat enemy players in PvP it comes out to me as ā€˜HK scout/private’ in a yellow format.

Honorable Kill in English. I don’t speak any german but I just typed it in a translator and there are words that fit and would be E… S…

ES= Ehrenhafter Sieg = Honorable Kill.

IĀ“m fairly certain what comes after that is the ā€œrankā€ of the player you killed.

Yeah thats it. The rank was obvious. When its H K: in english then its obviously honorable kil* in english and therefore ehrenhafter sieg for E S: in german. Makes perfect sense. Tyvm for helping me out people. :slight_smile:

Ehm , just out of curiosity, am I missing something and can expect a ban on Monday, or why does ist seem like people are self-censoring the same words I typed and Otto the Censor didnĀ“t complain about (E…S…, Kil*, etc…) ?

I didn’t type them out because I didn’t know how to spell correctly, I just typed Honorable Kill in a translator, looked up possible words for each, saw those that matched, tabbed out here and typed my answer. Without copy pasting and after seeing the word once that E word spelling was eluding me.

There wouldn’t be any reason to ban you when the words are used in game.

Ah, ok, it just seemed a bit funny and I wanted to make sure, not that I suddenly get mass reported for typing ā€œkillā€ (because even ā€œunaliveā€ is now somehow a ā€œthis person is evilā€ buzzword)…

Actually with ā€œSiegā€ it would even be somewhat understandable, because thatĀ“s the first part of a well known NSDAP slogan when followed by another word starting with H that, standing alone, is also completely innocent… but combined they become something very much ā€œnot-so innocentā€, and absolutely bannable just about everywhere :beers:
