Ok ive played for quite a while, i was reading the wiki. and noticed this part which i probably had overlooked.

Example 1: you are the commander and have a medic kit, while holding your knife you drop an artillery wave on an enemy squad.

    *
      Global kills 6
    *
      Medic Kills 6
    *
      Commander score 0
    *
      Knife kills 0

Example 2: you are the commander and have a medic kit, while sitting in a mounted gun you drop an artillery wave on an enemy squad.

    *
      Global kills 6
    *
      Medic Kills 6
    *
      Commander score 0
    *
      Ground Defense 6



ive been doing this now, sitting in a TOW, gunner seat. mostly as medic. does this apply to all classes? im assuming it does.

now i know why firestorm has a even combat/commander score! lol or maybe im wrong

Yes it does apply to all kits ..many people including me get time by sitting in an MG or TOW and time for the class they are.. + all the arty kills I got many vet badges this way

I've gotten tked by people in game for sitting at a mounted MG while commander way back behind the lines.. for example at USMC vehicle spawn at karkand.. some people get really annoyed if you "time pad"

What's the point of the badges if you don't earn them (i.e., vet badge for 20 kills when you didn't actually kill anyone with your weapon).  At that rate you could go through the entire game without ever engaging in hand to hand combat and be expert in everything.  Lame...

I personally don't care if a commander is sitting in a mounted MG or TOW as long as he did his job and use it if needed. But there are also commanders blocking vehicles, which is annoying! Anyway, tking should be the last option to get them out of it!

I got one of my grouned defence badges this way by accident on Karkand.  Back when I only had the lame engineer's gun, I spotted a foot soldier on my radar (I NEVER fight in the primary battle sites when I am commander) so I jumped on the MG and took him out from a distance.  My squad leaders were calling for supplies, etc. so I popped over into commander view and continued commanding and forgot I was in the MG.  A few minutes later I got some medal or badge or whatever for ground defense.  *shrug*  I had totally forgotten that I wasn't in my usual hiding spot.  Hehe... oh well.  If I could mail it back in with a note and an apology I would.  I don't enjoy possesing ill-gotten gains, but obviously this 'bug' is not my fault.

wait let me understand this correctly. I think i missed something. Does this mean if you sit in a mounted mg etc etc you get double the points from artillery kills? Well not double but your kills actually get counted as points instead of commander/team formula

I don't care much if other do it as long as they use the stinger/TOW when enemies is in reach.

I wish there was a client side option to only accept kit badges with kit weapons though, I hate getting a badge by dropping arty (and driving tank, flying attack chopper etc), where's the fun in that?
