BF2S Forums AAAAAAAUGH!!!!!! Trying to get aviator/armor ribbons, please help!!!

go into a 64 player server when there are only like 20 people.

usually its the 15-20 minute time contraint that people have trouble reaching, not the amount of kills.

well for me its chopper + aviator, but I actually never tried it seriously to get them

I can give you a tip for the chopper.  Get on a populated Sharqi server, on the 32- or 64- player map, it doesn't matter.  Although more people means more targets.  Anyway, go to the MEC side, and hop in the gunner seat of their chopper.  Hopefully your pilot is decent, and so you should be able to rack up bunches of kills with the autocannon.  After you have the kills, make sure that you're the pilot, and concentrate on staying in the air.  Dont even go for any attack runs with the rockets, let your gunner do the ground-pounding.  If you see the other chopper, well, you'll most likely have no choice but to engage it, just be careful that you dont hit the crane, or that you don't pull back too far.

Ill give some tips.

For Armor - I got my ribbon playing on Gulf of Oman in a T-90.  Spent the entire round hopping from flag to flag, and I got lucky enough to avoid most airstrikes by the damn F-35's.  I got my ribbon with about 5 tickets left in the game.

The only real advice I can give you here other than to basically tank whore for the round is to move from flag to flag, and never stop moving.  The minute you stop moving, you become a HUGE (even bigger) target for the F-35's, and commanders take notice too.  DO NOT spawn camp on this map - spawn camping makes you a target for all the planes flying around.

I got my Aerial Service ribbon on Kubra Dam, playing as MEC.  Basically, I just flew the Su-34 bomber for the entire round and bombed the living crap out of everything that moved.  I was playing on my clan's server (which really helps because you know you have competitant people that help with enemy aircraft and target spotting), and I just stayed in the air the entire time bombing, reloading, bombing, etc.

If you are going for your Aerial Service and you aren't that great of a pilot or bomber, then fly the bomber aircraft (Su-34, Su-33 (or is it 32?  The Chinese one)) - they drop 5 bombs over a larger area and are a bit slower, making them much easier to line up and kill targets than fighters are.

Hope I helped a little.

Try this server: 85.236.101.49 17567

It runs 64 player map size but with only 32 players. You get 300 tickets so you get very long games all the time, ideal for going for badges/ribbons. Karkand is probably best for tank, Dalign for aviator and shaqi for chopper.

Hope this helps.
