BADGES....WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING BADGES....Sorry had to be done

Okay for real now...

Some ribbons and badges have multiple IAR criteria.  For example, I believe that the Air Defens Ribbon requires that you spend 3 minutes in an AA vehicle/stinger launcher (IAR) and also 11 kills from said AA vehicle/stinger launcher (IAR).

My questions are:

(1) Do both of these IAR criteria have to occur in the same round?

(2) Do the kills have to be "airborne" kills or can I chew up a cluster of infantry in a Linebacker and that count towards my 11 kills in an AA vehicle?

Thank you in advance to those who take the time to answer this question.  PUP0311

I'm no expert, although I do have the Veteran Air Defense badge and Air Defense ribbon...
I know it sounds kind-of smart-assed, but you're going to spend way more than three minutes in the Linebacker or in a Stinger to achieve the required eleven kills.  Main thing to remember is... ENJOY YOURSELF!

yes to both.  You can also be a commander and as long as you're mounted in the AA seat (or gun/AT for ground defense) Artillery kills also count towards your total kills.

This is true - not necessarily the most honourable way of getting em, but fair enough. Obviously works the same if you are trying to get armour ribbon etc - ie, hog the tank park it and claim the arty kills as done in vehicle.

Would only suggest doing this with a jeep for your transport badge or similar - unless you like the taste of C4 teamkills and mutiny votes for flogging and then camping in a vital tank asset.

Besides - it is like getting your mates to fall onto your knife for the badge; sure you have the award, but you haven't really 'qualified' in using the asset.
