Use them and convoy = dead...
Jet pilots with a fucking brain will take out AA before the operators of it know what is going on. It's called dive bombing or rear-flank flying. Same with chopper gunners. A good gunner will not hesitate to destroy iglas and AA vehicles FIRST. The pilot knows this and will comply to the gunner's tactics.

Tows are STATIONARY and easily avoided/destroyed. As for the Sraws x 2... a tank being repaired by two other vehicles with engineers in them and a supply crate will nullify their efforts.
I realize this, I am in fact one of those crazy Jet/Heli pilots with a brain. However, when someone sits near an AA and I'm occupied with other things (enemy jet behind me, heli v heli battle, more than one IGLA site ...) it's quite possible that I'll get taken out. Believe it or not, some of those strafing runs dont destroy that cursed AA (and  YES I am indeed aiming at it) and when an experienced player is nearby, he can hop in and fire off his missles before I have a chance to evade.  Though, the fact of the matter is that about 75% of BF2 pilots are twits that won't look at you, TK for the plane, force TK's, etc. And those are the ones that you can get easy.

As far as ground goes, an experienced tank driver won't be sitting on top of the TOW and usually won't see the missle coming from the distance. The one that DOES sit on the flag is susceptable to C4 or someone who hops on the TOW while he's looking for that C4 guy. Plus, it's not often that your teamates (the repairing vehicles) will actually sit by you when you have full health (or they won't even be engineers...), so those 2 SRAW missles aimed at the tracks (most people know to aim for the critical point) are instant kill.
You aren't being practical. It takes 10x more organization and focus for the infantry to take out a single fucking tank than the tank requires to do HIS job.

A convoy of intelligent people in vehicles are AT AN ADVANTAGE vs a squad of scattered, equally intelligible infantry.

I have played in many clan-matches and THIS is the reality.

I'm being practical; when there is a tank, people tend to spawn as anti tank. Commanders don't generally give their tanks supply boxes, and even if they DO, there is generally ONE intelligible player who chucks a 'nade at the box to cease the repairs (or the noob that really thinks the 'nade will rid the tank).  A tank can only take so much punishment. But you are correct when you say that a convoy of intelligent people in vehicles is at an advantage against a scattered squad.  However, if this squad is indeed intelligible as you say, they shouldn't have problems with the elimination. AT mines stop the forward progression of a said convoy, and at that point they should be avoidable...

There is a counter-argument to everything you brought up.

Mines can be disarmed in 3 seconds.

All it takes is one well-placed round to throw a monkey-wrench into the progression of the squad... and it is easier to do that then take out a tank.

And see, then the fun begins, who disarms the mine?
If it's a convoy member, then that piece of armor is doomed and the members nearest to him are at a disadvantage(no repairs with no one in it to that piece of armor or the ones next to it).
If it's another random guy, then that guy can be eliminated from afar.
If it's a convoy member who decides to take one for the team... He's retarded, +2 for the infantry, 1 armor down.

And, if the squad is intelligent, they will use cover to get away from the tank.

Plus there's that perfect solution... More mines~

And the fact that you can 2 shot a tank with an AT rocket, and 3 to 4 shot depending when the repairs started,  is an advantage. Now of course you have to be a good shot and in a good position but thats all about skill and tactics..

1 supply crate and 2 engineers repairing a tank, even if the tank is being hit by 2 sraws in critical locations, will still outheal the damage inflicted. That is if the tank DOESN'T take any of the ATers out.

Try it.

I'll get him, don't worry. Plus, who's going to bomb a point with no obvious targets? And that heli? We're intelligent infantry with SRAWs...

However, I'm unable to finish this discussion today Alpha, gotta go pamper Dad some more with cake/ice cream, excellent argument.

EDIT: I think I forgot to leave my name on that karma (+1), it was me. I'm not lying, good discussion.

Gah, sorry. Haven't played for too long. Point being, the game doesn't stop you from earning the badges in vehicles. So if you want to, do it.

PS: I got -1! Reason being "-1 S12k is the fuckin best". Ah well. People are different.

There is no way I am able to get 40 kills in a round on foot. Most I had was just above 30 on Karkand - 64 map with about 40 players. I was Assault. Most kills I have had in one round is 42 I think - as a gunner in chopper on Clean Sweep.

How can you get your expert badges as Commander? I know about the ground defense, but didn't think you could get other badges that way.

I am mostly on foot and I'm an admin on one of the biggest BF2 communities (we have 30+ servers) which is quite popular so the servers are mostly full and the rounds doesn't last long enough for me to get 40 kills on foot.
