i still dont get how i got the vet ground def;
i already had the 15 hours so i needed 15 kills IAR.
i was at karkand, nobody wanted to be commander so i went for it. Tank was not being used so i decided to jump into battle and command at the same time. I was 15-1 when i decided to leave the tank to somebody else. i went to the tow. somebody tried to sneak in and i killed him with the tow when suddenly i got the veteran badge....

then, what is considered a ground defense kill, apart from tows and mounted mgs??

if you were in a tow whiole dropping arty, the arty kills go towards your tow total.

What he means is that he stayed inside a tank for the whole round and just at the end he changed for a TOW and got the Veteran Ground Defense with only one kill instead of 12 in a round with the TOW or a  MG !!!!
Quite strange...

I did some Arty kills, those kills where when i wasnt in "commander eagle view" but fighting in the tank, i arty the enemy first and what was left alive i went on to to rape it. They were like 10+ kills arty kills before leaving tank and using the tow for that 1 kill...
Could that be that a fighting commander gets ground defense kills for any arty kill ????

Hmmm... arty kills count towards badge requirements, but you have to been in the vehicle required for the badge AFAIK.  So if you made the arty kills while IN the TOW, it counts towards the TOW IAR kill requirement.  I'm not sure, but I'm guessing the code behind some of the badges depends on two different things, what vehicle you are using(this includes any permanent object you can 'mount') and what kit you are using.  As long as you are that kit or vehicle and make a kill, it counts towards the IAR kill reqs.  That's just guessing, but that's what it seems to me.  Hard to test out this theory without starting a new character.  Should be easy to test though, get a kit you don't have basic badge for, and get a vehicle that you don't have basic badge for and try to get both in that round.

The way you are describing it, you got arty kills in the tank, not the TOW, so maybe the code is messed up since the patch?

i did the arty kills while i was in the tank and fighting, arty was fallen and i was killing what wasnt been caught by the arty. i only did 1 kill in the tow after getting 15 normal kills in the tank and like 10+ arty kills. My score showed the normal kills and commander points only.
