Battlefield 3 - Get more info from Battlelog

Ever wished there were more info in battlelog? - like more detailed description on each weapon including how much damage it could make or how accurate it is. Well now you can!

Battlelog by default does not provide you any of the above features. But there is a third party browser plug-in, which does gives you a myriad of info including the above. This plug-in is called (surprisingly) betterbattlelog. It adds more details and functionality to the original battlelog website. Inorder to unleash its full power, you must have an account in bf3stats. Read this post to know about it more. http://www.mindfane.com/2012/02/battlefield3-how-to-view-older-battle.html

This plug-in adds a lot of new functionality, but the key features that I found are:
1. Global ranking for weapons and vehicles. - This tool will let you know how proficient you are with a particular weapon or vehicle. But you should have at least 100 kills with it to be ranked.
Ranking for AEK-971

2. More stats on weapons - This is the most interesting feature to me. It will display additional info regarding each weapon. It also let you now how each weapon attachments affects its accuracy.
Advanced weapon stats for AEK-971
3. An intense performance tracking system with graph. This plugin uses your bf3stats account to present you a very detailed performance tracking graph. It lets you see how well you perform each day or week or month. You can track a number of parameters like SPM, Kills, Deaths, Wins, Loses, Score.....

Track your performance
Other features include the ability to flag cheaters. Once you do that, you will be warned when you try to join a server and the flagged player is playing in that server. You can also flag a particular server.

At the time of writing this, the plug-in supports only chrome 16+ and firefox. I hope they will add more browsers soon.

Share it with other players if you find this useful.
