One strange thing occured while being engineer. I planted mines  and was sitting in a tank. Everytime an enemy vehicle drove over my mines the game said: 'lukie [T-90] victim'. O_o

And 2 times i saw enemy APCs driving over my mines, wich exploded properly, but the APC survived with some damage. How this?

Enemy APCs as in plural? engineers inside. Not too sure about that.

But I AM sure about this, lots of confusion seems to be going around.

First of all: There are KIT Badges, the EXPLOSIVE Badge, and VEHICLE Badges.

KIT Badges require kills while you are using a certain kit. So artillery kills count, as long as you are that specific kit. You're still a sniper when you're in a tank, so those kills count too.

The EXPLOSIVE Badge is a weapon-badge. Meaning the kit does not matter. You have to kill someone with EXPLOSIVES. Simply said. While you're in a tank you're NOT using explosives, you're using a TANK. The Explosive badge is the only weapon badge.

VEHICLE Badges are amounted from kills made while using a certain vehicle. Artillery kills are kills, and armor time is armor time. You get enough arty kills, it counts as armor kills. Kills made inside the armor. Mounted MG's and AA are vehicles.


A small known bug is using passive explosives (claymores and AT mines and non-triggered C4) while in a vehicle. The game displays them as kills by the vehicle you're in, while i'm not sure how they are registered.

Easiest way to get your explosives badge (basic,vet or expert) IMO is to play Warlord on Special Forces, go to the palace at the top of the map and when one of the palace flags is held by the other side, claymore spam your way to that shiny badge!!!
People spawn like crazy and you get some fierce fire fights in the corridors, just continually drop claymores in the corridors between the 2 flags and you'll get the badge in no time.

I tried this yesterday, and must have had about 35-40 claymore kills in 1 round. But the EA stats server was playing up at the time (it reverted me back to the rank of private for the round, wtf!!!) and it didn't register the kills else I would have got my Vet explosives badge and probably my Exp badge too

I wish Í'd have tried for my vet. explosives badge when we could still have more than 2 claymores. Getting 23 expl. kills was hard, I'm gonna have to try hard on the expert one

I have a question, when you kill someone with a claymore is says AngelEyez (claymore) blablaba. I was wondering if the kill counts as a explosive kill if the score thing says AngelEyez (killed) blablabla.

I don't think it does angeleyez, pretty sure it's gotta say (claymore)(AT Mine)(C4) to count as explosive. If your gonna try for Vet explosives u should just go all the way for expert at the same time. Just to save another headache later. if u have enough global kills that is.

I don't think that will count. The "killed" only happens when the claymore is laid by you for too long after you died, it will no longer be a claymore kill.

Find a 16 man server that plays size 64 maps, then just run around in a transport looking for guys, jump out, then knife them. I did that for mine, i was on karkand

Thanks for the info guys I had about 30 kills when I got my vet. explosives badge. The round ended to soon to try for expert also I had enough globals though. I got my good conduct medal when I tried for vet. explosives, didn't even try for that ;p weird that I didn't get any teamkills/damage with claymores that round.
