Wow - MasterMatty - and where are you playing? 50-60 kills in a tank during a normal round is really good. And you do that since day one on a regular basis??? I could not find any stats under that name - and your are not listed as a WTE Member as well.

Let us know where you do your killing - we are going to watch

Nice ass by the way

Platinum badges would look to similar to veteran ones.

Then colour them black - or whatever you choose. It's not the color it's the challenge that counts.

And some people already have almost all awards - give them a chance to prove how good they are.
If you do have everything - what is the aim of playing - 1.000.000 Points ?? Those awards are always a good way to motivate somebody.

The only dumb thing with Expert Tank is the fact that with the 1.3 change the armor medal is easier to get than the expert armor badge, I was under the impression that the badges were meant to be easier to obtain than medals to achieve. seems bass ackwards... I do agree about changing the WCR though...its not hard to jump to the other team at the near end of a round and take a few point hits to keep the W/L ratio nice and high, commanding for 25,00 points takes a little honest dedication...

Well,
when you get above 300 hrs, you will have experience enough to be able to destroy anything that moves, not only infantry, thats easy, but helicopters and planes too. You cant consider yourself expert if you only play Karkand, masthur and Sharqui. One example: Firestorm. He has expert armor. He only plays(ed) Karkand as commander inside the tank. No real challenge for a tank at karkand. I dont think he can survive long enough in maps like Taraba Quarry, Smokescreen or even Cleansweep....

50-60s kills?, i can bet you are one of those karkand spawn rappers.

i have been able to hit in the 50-60's regularly with a couple deaths ever since i started playing bf2 my skill level has remained like this regardless of the time i have played in a tank. i fail to see how i will be any better in another 250hrs tank time or 18months of playing. like previously mentioned thats just endurance not skill. How can players be called expert in a jet or heli @ 150hrs and not a tank? anwser me that... if you can't do that go back to css....

nah not just karky mate but i can bag anything that moves, this aint a braggin bitch thread, its a debate about the requirements. Whats the 24kills about? people can fart more than that... i truly think once your over a 100hrs your skill dont increase much-once you know the maps and spots etc

im still miffed as to why ea have made this an endurance badge but lowered the heli and plane badges. I go for all awards and dont see where the significant difference is between armour required time and the other times surely the should all be the same?

One thing with the Expert Armor Badge.
Once you have reached all the requirements, you have to make the final
24 kills in a tank. An APC wont work, neither will making the kills in both
combined. Tank only.
I just got my Expert and it would only work in this fashion.

Unless of course you were commander sitting in an unused tank getting 24 arty kills. That would get it for ya.

Plus one for that...???

meh i like how it is makes you work for something, if it was lower alot of people would have it and they would have everything, it just makes the game last longer and yes tanks are on everymap

SORRY - no offense - I just did wonder! 50+ points is an easy task (get around 100 most of the time on a 32/64 Server) - and 50 kills is doable - you are right. 60 kills ares a task and a lot of luck combined with a good commander helping to spot those hiding troops. But it can be done (made it once - yeah).

So put the plating/Black award at 60 and see who gets it (NO PLANES - those guys do have to many advantages if there isn't a good other pilot to get them).

I play about 1,5 hours a day for the last year and I just have 140 hours tank time (25% of playing time) - so it will take me even longer than another two years - if I don't tank whore all the time. And that is boring anyway - much more fun to mix it up.

HAVE FUN AND SHOOT WELL - JUST NOT ME

I don't see how 400 hours in a tank can contribute to a squad performance, which is what this game wanted

They are not going to lower it because there is a tank on every map...FORCING you to jump in it if you want to complete the badge

These six issues are basic fixes but remain untouched:
- The expert armor medal is still at 400 hours.
- I (and many others I know) still receive the Medal of Valor at the starting of each round in a new server.
- When you get revived, there is now an extra kit with full ammo below you.
- Sprint still magically fails due to a server side issue.
- Claymores are still not destructible.
- Stuck in squad bug is still present.

Team switching is not the reason they changed the WCR... there was hardly anybody doing that anyway. They just made it easier because of the whiners saying it was to hard to get a 3.0 wlr. Now its just time spent in my oppinion, any statpadding noob can get it if they admin there own server, not that they couldn't just stack the teams before(as most of the clans do). There were 177 people with the WCR before the change now there are 3,476 for a 1963% increase in the number of people with the ribbion. They just nerfed the ribbon.

Beside that I think that most of the time and global kill req's are not a good measure of achivement. All of the kit badges are easy to get if you find a good heli pilot to gun for provided you have the required time. 24 kills in a tank IAR, I did that last night with only 54h in a tank. I would like harder IAR requirements like 40 kills in a tank and cut the time req' out or down by half. Change the Kit Req's to have IAR for all the kit weppons not just general kills.

Example: Expert Enginer IAR requirements
20 shotgun/MP-7 kills
5 Hand Grenades kills
5 AT Mine kills
3 Pistol kills
2 Knife kills

Here is the most retarded Time req'

Sharpshooter Infantry Medal

Marksman Infantry Medal
Expert Knife Combat Badge
Expert Pistol Combat Badge
Expert Assault Combat Badge
Expert Anti-tank Combat Badge
Expert Sniper Combat Badge
Expert Spec Ops Combat Badge
Expert Support Combat Badge
Expert Engineer Combat Badge
Expert Medic Combat Badge

With all the kit badges you would have put in 700+ hours, just shows that not much forthought was put in when changeing the req's.
