And yes... I did read all the posts I could find about this before posting.
I've been playing now for a few months and I have 4 questions on stats vs. Medals. Who ever answers this will probably need to spend a few minutes checking my stats first. Thx in advance!
1) If I understand correctly, per the UBAR page, there are 2 ways to get most medals, IAR requirements (so many kills, heals, etc in 1 round) or cumulative requirements (50hrs of play, etc). Why then, when I have already met the IAR requirements, does the badge/medal not show up until after I have the IAR AND the cumulative requirement? For example, I just got 28 resupplys in 1 round but did not get the veteran resupply badge. It shows I still have several hours to go on that. Is that a glitch? It happened that way on the veteran Command Badge too. I had been commander for 30 mins at a time multiple rounds but did not get the badge until I hd the IAR requirements PLUS the 1k command points. B/c of this I am missing about 8 medals or ribbons that my stats show I should have. So what gives?
2) I may be misunderstanding team points but, from what I have read on line, team points are any points besides combat points (so resupply, heal, revive, etc count but kill points and CP capture points do not... right?) Assuming that is correct, I had a round a few days ago where I medic-whored (yeah, sorry, I wanted the Distinguished service ribbon or Valorious Unit Ribbon). I was in a squad and got 58 team points, more then enough for both badges. Didn't get either one! So, I am confused. Do I need to be squad leader.... commander... lonewolf... what?
3)On the Far East Service Ribbon, my stats show that I met the requirement on every map except Shougna Stalemate. If I read the UBAR info right, all you needed to do was meet the requirement on 1 map. So, shouldn't I have this one. And if not, how do I get it since none of the servers run the Shounga Stalemate map? Same goes for USMC medal. I did get the far east one already and I never have played 1/2 the maps listed on the UBAR info page.
4) On the UBAR stats page, some of the badges have underlines under them... what does that indicate?
ok... sorry for the long post. Any help is appreciated! Thx for the great site/info/forum! -MonkezUncle
