# Combined damage

Damage dealt plus assistance credited, the figure Marks of Excellence are measured on.

Also known as damage + assist, total damage contribution.

Combined damage adds what a player did directly to what they made possible: damage dealt, plus [spotting](/glossary/spotting.md) and tracking assistance. It is the closest single number to a player's contribution to their team's damage output.

It is also what makes marking a [light tank](/glossary/light-tank.md) possible. On a scout, most of the contribution never appears in the damage column, and a measure that ignored assistance would put every light vehicle permanently out of reach.
