Is it possible to jump from Colonel to Three-Star General, or do you have to go Colonel/1 Star/2 Star, etc?

No. Each general rank requires a different amount of time / points. Brig is 180k @ 1080 or some stupid thing like that, Major is 200k @ 1250 (LAWL 20k in 70hrs? nubs...) Lt Gen is 200K @ 1440 or something. So...you could jump from 1 star to 3 star if it took you nearly 400hrs to get 20k...or something, but you can't jump from colonel to 3 star.

you can't just get a 3 Star General promotion instantly

but if you have the time requirements, but not the badge requirements, and then get the badge requirements you can go from Colonel --> 3 Star General in 3 kills

so.... kinda

yes you can but it wont be instant. 1 star general requires some veh. vet badges, while the 2 star requires some vet combat badges.

So in essence you can be a colonel and have 144o hours played, and 200,000 pts and finish off your last vet badge and rank up if you do both that round. IE Medic badge, helo badge same round.

Its more like, Major General at 180,000 @ 1250 hours.

looking at the UBAR id say if you have all those veteran badges and 1440 hrs, you'd just from colonel to 2star correct?
so looking at my stats if i get my veteran badge and 1440 hrs before i get to 180000 points, id be a 2star general when i do right or wrong?

maybe in the stats outage someone already had all the hours, badges and stuff and got the extra amount of points, they stayed colonel and when they got all their points they went straight to 3 star

In that case, a person would get promoted to 1-star, then 2-star, then 3-star.

It's happened before, I know there's pictures somewhere.

Easily. Get up to 1440 hours without the requisite badges, and then attain the last one in order to jump directly from Colonel to 3 Star.

I'm waiting for 3 star because 2 star is ugly, and I'll have too much time for 1 star.

I think it might be possible to go from Col to 3star if you meet all the requirements, bayblaze2 went from one day being a col to being a 3 star and I have yet to get ahold of him to find out if he got the others one right after the other.

Im colonel, got 193000 points, and i need vet armor + vet transport for 1 star, before i get vet armor im already over 200000, so i will go from colonel to 3 star

well it is possible to get it in one round if that's what you mean. You just need to get points 3 times (killing 3 guys or having 3 ammo points or 2 guys and an ammo point etc etc...)

So you'll probably go from colonel to 3 star in less then 3 minutes.

Get ALL but one requirement for 3 star, (Say vetran Armor), once you get vetran armor, you get 1st star, then the NEXT point you get it moves you to 2 star, then NEXT point you get moves you to 3 star.

It is possible..-.-

Lets say you are a Colonel with 250k and 1450 hours of playtime, meaning you have met all the general requirements, but have not gotten one vital badge for that promotion yet. Than if you get that badge, you only have to make three kills and voila you are a 3 star gen. Someone even made a movie about it.
