Just a quick (and probably easy question) ....

I know it is not that important but i am just interested to know if anyone knows the answer:

The Vet Combat Sniper badge needs IAR 15 Kills as Sniper plus 15h play as a Sniper to earn it....

I know i have already got the 15 Kills IAR as a Sniper but i have only got about 6 1/2 hours total Sniper time....

So when i finally do get 15h total Sniper time will i automatically get teh Vet Badge or do i have to have 15 Kills IAR after i have clocked up the 15 Kills IAR?

Thanks in Advance....

Hey there, you will have to rack up your 15 hrs first, once that criteria is met then you can get your 15 kills IAR (wait til the server has updated - i've experienced it where i didn't get the badge after getting 15hrs only cos it had not updated). Hope this helps - good luck!

I had the same for Support which needed 20 kills IAR and got it at something like 24 kills. Doesn't happen all the time but if you do have problems its worth changing to a different server. Happy huntin'

i got the badge the minute my time hit 15 hrs, it was only about 1 minute into a round. so i must have got the kills an earlier round....

I was playing cmdr today and it was a slow round so I had the chance to hop in a helo as the gunner and go whack some people. I was doing alright in the kills department, nothing amazing. All of a sudden I hit 10 kills in the helo just pickin youngins off and boom ! Awarded my vet sniper badge. Only 10 kills. Strange how people and ubar say you need a set amount when I earn this badge with 10 kills ? Beginning to wonder if my account is on some sort of PC LSD. Also, I needed 15 c4 kills for my basic explosives badge, and holy carp, it took me about 6 rounds. Hard but hilarious. Later.

Maybe you had some kills Already with Arty... Infact thats what probably happened.

As there appears to be differing opinion on this i will report back in about 8 hours once i have clocked up the 15h requirement. I will in fact try to engineer it so that i do it in a controlled way to be sure what the trigger is as i know i already have reached the IAR Kills requirement because i got 19 as a Sniper last night.

Let you know when i appear from a dark room after the 8 hour Sniper stretch over the weekend.

well when I got vet sniper it was right after the patch came out when the stats weren't updating. I think I got vet sniper probably 5 times before it actually saved it but anyway... It did indeed give me the badge at 15 kills every time so I figure its probably right

It doesn't matter how you get the kills - knife, pistol, grenade, rifle, artillery - they all count for the class combat badges. In fact, that's how I got my basic sniper combat - going commander. That's how I plan to get my veteran AT combat tonight too. I need another 2 hours commander time for my Distinguished Service Ribbon so I'm doing commander all the way.

i got my 15 hrs today and managed to pull of 15 kills (without ease!) personally i think the sniper class is one of the hardest kits considering sometimes it's very inacurate unless u know how to use it poprtly.

aardfrith, thats such a easy way to get it

Arty kills don't count as kills anymore since the patch do they?
Since the patch I've never been credited kills using the artillery at the round? Only when I actually step on to the battlefield and blow someons torso away does it show up as a kill...

is some conclusion?

(some people talks that way) when i got 40kills as lets say assault, and after many days i got 100h using it, i got expert badge?

They do not show up as combat points on the in game scoreboard, however, I do belive that they come up as kills for the class that you were when the artillery kill happened.

So, if you are a medic, and get 15 kills with artillery, your medic stats will improve by 15 kills, but they just wont show up on the scoreboard.

That's my understanding of it anyway. Otherwise, I havn't got a clue how my medic kill ratio got so much better recently...

yeah, this is true... I got the vet anti tank this way, just arty kills. Then just to see if it would work again I got the vet special ops same way. Its odd that that counts towards the badge, but I'm not complaining, might be the only way a few of them expert badges are obtainable, imo.
