Peoples Medallion - Now requires 100 hours

MEC Special Forces Service Medal - Now requires 50 hours

EU Special Service Medal - Now requires 50 hours

SAS Service Medal - Now requires 50 hours

Navy Seal Service Medal - Now requires 50 hours

Other Changes in the update include:

interesting. Tho I find the changes to Navy Cross / Scimitiar / Peoples Medallion kinda useless

another thing - still no changes to EU Ribbon - bullshit.

At last. Now for the extreme hour requirements for the Expert vehicle badges. 300 hours in a tank is hardly for casual players. At least tone it down "a bit". Maybe down to 150 hours so none of the tank whores will complain over too low requirements .

EDIT:

*fixed tank hours*

And how about the damn Combat Infantry Medal!? 500 hours? Come ON! People with a goal will get the Marksman Infantry Medal upon completing 500 hours...

Thanks for the info. Some of the requirements are still crazy. But I guess it is better than nothing.

Nice that they're lowering the hours for most of these . . . it would have taken forever to get them! And I'm not a casual player lol
