I've seen what seems like a thousand topics over the WCR on these forums and I'm starting to wonder "why".
I made a post in another thread about the WCR and I think it deserves it's own thread with a little more explanation of the WCR, so maybe, just maybe all the people out there who don't have a clue can finally get a hint.
OK, WCR, first you need a 3:1 win loss ratio. In other words this means you would need 3 wins for every loss you get and your stats would look something like, 900 wins 300 losses. Thats what a 3:1 ratio means. Very simple people.
Next, you need 50 hours as a commander. Seems like a lot huh? It is, and for good reason. The WCR is a commader class award, meaning only GOOD commanders can get it (respectivly).
Finally, after and only AFTER you have the first two requirements completed, you need 45 commander points IAR (In A Round). How do you get commander points? Well technically YOU don't, your team does. The commander point system is comprised of an average of the players on your teams score. So for example if everyone on your team had 20 points, idealy you would have around 20 too. Say you only had two people on your team and the first guy had 50 points and the second guy had 45, you would probably have a commander score of about 46 or 47. However, your job as a commander is to give your team what they need to get points and succeed. The better your team does, the better you do.
I have people ask me constantly about these things. It is very simple. Work on your 3:1, while doing that you will hit 50 hours and once both of those are set, go for the 45.
I am neither an admin or a server owner and I have it. Wanna know how I got it?
HARD WORK
It's the hardest ribbon to get, therfor you have to have the time, skill and dedication to get it. This ribbon isn't for everyone, and most people will never have it. 3:1 is extremly tough, yes, thats why the ribbon is so prestigious. I chased it for 3 months before I got it. Did I teamswitch? Sure I did, not constantly, but yeah, I teamswitched a bit.
Here's how you get it:
Start early.
Play 16 man servers as much as possible.
Play as the commander on these servers. (Commanders control the battle on small maps)
Don't lose, ever.
Pretty simple right? Wrong.
1. If you already have 1000 losses and a 1:5 WL, don't bother. You're never going to get it, go home.
2. Playing on 64 man servers will only take you 5 years to get the required WL ratio and Commander hours.
3. If you suck at commander, this ribbon isn't for you. Work on the Legion of Merit.
4. If you are a good commander, there is no reason to lose. Therfor no reason to switch. However....teams do suck every now and then. A little thing I call "refusal to play". Then you switch.
5. Once again, this ribbon is not for everyone. It isn't the parachute ribbon. This ribbon is harder to get than most of the medals. Don't feel bad because you can't get it, like I said, it's not for everyone.
6. If you have to come onto a forum and bitch about the requirments, you probably don't have what it takes to get this ribbon in the first place so just pursue something else.
This ribbon takes a long, long, LONG time to get, a lot of patience, good communication with a team (i.e. clan, friends etc), a through and deep understanding of the commander feature and how to use it to the best of it's ability, and finally a keen and ruthless sense of determination to get what you have your eyes set on.
If you are missing any of the traights in the previous paragraph, or find yourself unable to use the features and tools required to get this ribbon you might as well just stop. Stop going for it and save yourself a lot of time effort and frustration. Not trying to toot my own horn, I just know from experiance and I've seen many many people try and fail for it.
Also, a few hints and tips:
If your about to lose and you disconnect, you will still be charged with a loss.
When being the commander, it is a good idea to sit in a ground defense, AA, transport, or whatever isn't being used. This builds your hours for that particualr vehicle up and you aren't just idleing. It also comes in handy if your base comes under attack.
Praise your team. The better moral, the better the fight.
To get a high commander score, you can join a server that is just getting started (especially 64 man map servers) and get commander. The round will take so long that you will usually end up with around 70-80 before the 2x bonus.
If your playing on a 16 man map, remember commanders make the best infantry. The maps are so small that you are the only person that knows where everyone is at once. Perfect for setting up ambushes and guarding your things. Put your UAV on the mass group of enemies and you go after the sneaky ones.
Well, I hope this helps and/or answers a few questions you may have had. Remeber, the WCR isn't for everyone.
