BF2S Forums Expert heal, repair and explosives?

no, none.
(i only have basic)

I got my expert explosive on sharqi, it was a 64 player server with like 10 people on it. Just follow where your commander puts uav and blow the enemy up. I was also on foot the whole time.

Expert Explosives - You need a long round, and you need to truly be an expert. It took me a while to get this one, but I finally got it after a lot of practice!

Expert First Aid - Just spam med packs everywhere and eventually you will get it. The ideal cases for getting a lot of heals is at the hotel on Karkand as MEC. If you ever get a round where MEC holds this point the whole game, it will be easy to get this badge. I almost got it, but I finished the round with 23 heals.

Expert Repair - You'll need a lot of luck for this one. You need a nice, long round, with a squad obsessed with blowing the commander assests. I have managed to get 19 repair points IAR, and I am confident that it is possible to get this badge without padding or hacking.

I know about the MEC madics at karkand... but there are 7373 of them and everyone floods with med packs

out of all, i only have expert heal. not enough hours as engineer, and keep failing with explosives, but always come close.
explosives - either play karkand and toss them all over the hotel, or playing warlard and loading up your ATV with c4, or on mashtuur city get in the MEC chopper and have a pilot who is support (or get a full squad if you feel like it) and have the pilot fly over everything and you toss c4 out. i've seen people do it this way before.
healing - karkand can be the easiest spam them at hotel, or just play any map that is 64 size with few players so you have lots of time to get it. (i got mine on cleansweep)
repair - mashtuur in the blackhawk can work good. also on karkan its possible to get a ton sitting behind a tank or APC at hotel.

The expert explosives was kinda difficult but possible... got it on karkand 64 players walking, and when i see an enemy i throw a c4 high to him, switch to detonator and blow... works great: got 45 c4 kills in 15-20 mins.
u have to learn the trick of it but its very lovely

I have explosives and repair.  Just started playing Medic, so I don't have enough total heals to go for expert yet.  Long rounds will help, but aren't always necessary.

For explosives, the c4 toss is your best bet.  I think the last time I used the trick was around 4 or 5 days ago.  I only use the trick when I'm getting n00b t00bed a lot.  Once you get the trick down, it's easy.  You will waste all 5 of your c4's quick enough and they are sure kills if you know what you're doing.  So after dieing 7 times, you should get it, if you're using it right.  And it's very common to get multiples with one c4.  Better do it before the patch though.

I just got repairs recently on a long game of Warlord.  I was originally just trying to help a clan mate out by getting her expert medic.  She was tank-whoring and i followed behind her in my little ATV.  Then I repaired a few assets after the enemy got to the back flags and got it there.  For this, I recommend being on a map dominated by armor/vehicles.  Grab a fast moving vehicle and move from vehicle to vehicle constantly repairing and watch your assets at all times.

you need to have some luck to be short on meds on karkand. and repair badge will need some cooperation of enemy fighters to actually take down the guns often enuff on wake or any map with a carrier. i think it would be easiest to get repair on warlord if the enemy constantly attacks the commander assets and if u let the enemy take it out. so try to get on the same server with 1 or better 2 friends (1 spec op the other support) and let them take out the assets with 5 satchels each, this way u'll get more repair points per asset u repair.
i still have no idea how to actually get the expert explosives since whatever map u are on there are usually more spec ops available than necessary and most people try to steal the kills u need so u end up short.

Yeah I know about ghost town at least, as commander, I usually get around 10 repairs becuz it's easy for the spec ops to reach bases, and they're both non cappable


I just don't wanna be one of those C4 throwing n00bs, but I gues it's the only way now. And I better hury before the next patch

I'm having trouble getting the expert heal, repair and explosives badges

25 heals IAR
25 repairs IAR
37 kills explosives IAR

and thoughts on where and how to get them? any tips?

Expert Heal - Packed 64 karkand and do nothing but run around with med pack out.. took me like 20 rounds

Expert Repair - I really have no problem with this =/ I've gotten 25+ repairs in a round lots of times.. try joining a packed 32 server on 64 warlord (if you have sf) and be on derka and just tank whore with a friend or something (both go eng) and just repair eachother/fix stuff... or even if you can find a small server playing 64 maps just follow some tank whore around and keep repairing him..

Expert Explosives - I got mine on a 64 karkand with 18 people on it... took a while but since I had a buddy commanding I knew exactly where they where... Lots of people seem to have good seccess getting it on a packed 64 aswel.

I tried this morning at Karkand for my vetran explosives.
After a few times I was kicked of the server, to many TK.

This is a bit lame, but u can also join server with low team damage and put 2 c4 in front of a jeep (karkand) and search for a tank. Once u found one, drive to him, hop out and detonate..

This works on normal servers also, i think, but u have to be farer away from the explosion

no, you do not need a lot of luck to get expert engineer. I dont have it only because of the hours. Ive got 30+ repairs in one round. Its very boring. But on wake island the jets seem o love shooting the essex on the end of the ship before raping. You can stand on the ledge below and look up and repair THE ENTIRE ROUND PRACTICALLY. plus it kind of helps your team shoot down the j-10s.

Roger that. I'll try that some time.

I'll just need to find a server with a lot of spawnraping going on
