Once again (): Only when the kill message reads "brookesc [c4/mine/clay] victim" the kill counts as an explosive kill.

When you lay down f.e. an antitank mine and then enter any vehicle (incl. aa and ground defense) your kill message will read "brookesc [vehicle] victim" and this kill counts as a road kill with this type of vehicles.

After you have died or took up another kit your mines / clays will disapear after a while. While they are still visible, they are still active and can kill people but only the first part of this time will bring you an explosive kill! The rest of this period you will just read "brookesc [killed] victim" which means a non specified kill for your actual kit.

Therefore you should keep in mind while going for the badge: No vehicles and no kit switching at all! And don't have a look at the kills, just keep on until the drum roll comes.

yea u might need 2 combine like some c4 some claymore and some at mine

Plant C4

Wait for enemy

Press button

Repeat 20 times

1. Jihad jeeping  (put C4 on jeep and run into tanks APC etc. you get deaths but it works)
2. Mine roads that are used a lot.
3. Get with a friend or someone who will help you and get on karkan be MEC and mine the finces and keep putting more down when they explode

That all I have to say

Claymore + Karkand ftw.

I got veteran and expert in the same round on karkand with the claymore. You just need to know the key spots to place them.

I generally got 2/3 kills per claymore, racked up veteran badge with 150 tickets to go, then expert was easy.

Claymore on karkand or learn to C4 throw. I personally did the latter (not throwing in the classic sense, just planted it at someones feet and ran off. Detonated while they were comprehending what was about to happen to them.

I tried that method, it just frustrated the hell out of me.. Claymore I feel is more effect on a compacted map like Karkand.

I won my veteran ground defense on the Midnight Sun map playing PLA.  Had a ball doing it too.  Sat on a TOW that was located that the front entrance to the base on the American side of map.  Cant reall the name of the flag but this flag is directly across from the uncappable chinese base.  This base gets taken over repeatedly by both teams.  Once the Chinese capture it you need to camp on that TOW mount and wait.  In no time your teammates will abandon the base for more actitivity and you will most likely remain the sole owner of the flag and base. 

Now comes the fun.  The American tanks will roll your way.  Line up the tanks and kill them easily.  Keep a watch out for infrantry coming down from the ridge to your right as you face forward.  Nail anyone that comes close, jeeps, buggies, snipers, infantry, tanks and AA.  Take them all out.  I got my veteran in no time at all and had a alot of fun.  You will still see me camping the TOW sights around that map as they can easily take out choppers as well as armor!!!

As Insurgents on Warlord, C4/claymore the tv station flag then zipline to balcony in the adjacent building.  Lots of kills there.  Or just C4 suicide anything that moves.

Nice trick, might resort to that yet!!

I'll have a shot at doing it the 'honorable' way on the midnight sun map as suggested first.
Good to have a backup plan though, thanks for the advice.
