Sorry if this seams like a silly question to ask but, i dont spend much time studying the game, i just play it.
i have been playing a fair bit ( not too good as well) but have not gotten too many badges.

What are the maps best suited to get;

a) an engineer combat badge?

b) an air defence badge?

c) an explosive ordinance badge?

sorry in advance if these questions seem dumb....

Engineer combat - In a tank on Kubra/Karkand/Mashtur/Zatar (pretty much anywhere with a tank, or if you're good with shotty)

Air defense - Hard to get in new patch i imagine. Try Wake/Operation Clean Sweep/Gulf of Oman

Explosive ordinance - Karkand/Sharqi

Hope that helps (kinda general, but other than knife/pistol badges [Sharqi] can be pretty much anywhere)

Easiest way to get any combat badge is to go as a gunner in the Blackhawk or in the MEC chopper. Even though they are 'chopper kills' they count towards the badges for each kit.

yeah, i am a useless pilot so i dont even try. and lately, been hard to find a decent chopper pilot, getting blown away while the pilot barrels in a straight line to a spawn point....
i love being the gunner of an attack chopper though...

we don't need no steenking badges....

the Air Defense badge only has a time requirement.  Any map where you find a fairly out of the way AA battery is good.  Just sit in it and try and pick off bad guys...Rack up the time and there's yer badge

Engineer combat badge is pretty easy...as are pretty much any of the combat badges.  If you absolutely can't get the badges on foot, just jump in a vehicle.  The kills you get still count as kills for that kit.  Engineer was the only kit I couldn't get on foot.  Hop in a tank or APC and it's yours.

As for the explosive ordinance badge, I don't have it so I couldn't tell ya.

for the explosive badge try a server with friendly fire off (a 0 when you look at the server details)
your teammates and your stats will thank you....

Air Defence - any map that has a mobile AA.  I tried wake island with a stinger and never got the time in.  I rolled around a map with a linebacker and got the badge and ribbon in no time at all.

  Explosives - Strike at karkand.  You can use the loaded jeep, but that didn't work for me, i ended up with neg points and never reached the 13 kills.  After I decided to just run around with the c4 and hope for the best I got the badge with only 1 death.

  Any Combat badge - Few ways to do this, You can become commander and hit 20 guys with art, you can drive around in a tank on karkand, get in a heli as a gunner on wake island.  Now the repair vet badge is another story.  I am still working on that one.

Hope this helps

Critical advice for basically any badge:

Find a server with a capacity of 64, with only 10 - 20 players in the game.


Also:
I actually got my explosives badge on Gulf of Oman, I found it easier to do Jihad Jeeping there, I could load up my jeep then run it into any one of the beach bases and usually nail someone. It is hard though, takes a lot of patience. But to stress my advice above, the larger the server, with the less people in it, the more time you will have to get the badge.

All kits badges, the best map is Wake because it has chaos for killing, but you can also have quite to repair give ammo and all. just perfect

I got quite a few of the combat badges as a gunner in a chopper. I got my support combat badge on Karkland. I set up behind the overturned APC near the hotel and as the US rushed through, I just cut them down. I got killed a few times but I had my badge in like 15 minutes.

For your repair badge, go commander (else you get bored) on a map where your UAV, Arty and scan are all close together, and pref at a non capturable base (Oman is good, MEC side). Then all you need do is wait for an enemy spec ops to come along and blow all your crap up, then go fix it.

For any combat badges, as said allready, just use a vehicle. Personally I use a bomber cus its fairly easy to get 40+ kills a round using the bomber which is good for basic, vet and expert badges.

for the exp ord badge, the easiest way is the exploding jeep way. I find dragon valley good for this, go china, spawn at woodyard, chuck 3 packs on the front of the jeep, drive it towards the nearest US flag (hopefully they have the base that spawns teh AA vehicle, forget its name, down the road from woodyard on the same side of river) find an apc, aa vhicle, infantry... anything but a tank cus they kill you too easy, drive full speed straight at it, dive out at full speed let the jeep run on up to the target and press the button, which will kill whatever it is and leave you with about 1/2 health left to go suicide someone with your remaining 2 pacs of C4. Personally tho I got mine (basic one) using AT mines on kubra dam, mining the crap out of the road from the US base. This requires that the entire US team are dumbasses tho.

Knife badge aint too hard either, can either do it on Sharqi, the construction site are being a good place cus its usually full of snipers an dtheres plenty of cover. Or you can do it the gay way, and go commander, locate the enemy commander using scan and the O/H zoomed in map view. So long as he's actually camping somewhere out of the way and commanding all you need do is drive to him and stab him in the back 7 times.

Pistol is fairly easy on the city maps, or you can go sniper, get a body shot with the M95 leaving them with 2 bars health and just spam fire the pistol in their general direction.

For any of teh harder badges try and play on a large map (which you can filter in the search) that has a limit of < 40 players. That way the rounds will last ages giving you plenty of time. ones such server you can find by searching for "www.online" which is the server I play on :-)

Sorry for long post, just bored and killing time.

Well I've written a great deal on this subject..

I'm tired so I'll make it very short:

a) an engineer combat badge: Get a tank or aircraft or whatnot - they still count as engineer kills - you don't have to go wasting people with your shotgun

b) an air defence badge: Get a mobile-AA and waste people on the ground... it is that simple - (this also works for the ribbon)

c) an explosive ordinance badge: have a lucky day on a infantry server... NB: expect some suicides and a bunch of teamkills...

over and out..

Actually, you can get air defense easy on Sharqi.  Be commander, get in the IGLA down by the helipad, and start commanding, with an emphasis on arty kills.  That's how I got my ribbon.
