So gambo... enlighten us... how the hell did you get 20 kills in one round in a ground defense? we tried.... and failed (smids and me)
in what map did you get it with what mounted weapon...

i am confused blink.gif
Dark0ne
Strike At Karkand. Mounted position on US right hand spawn?

I'd have said the TOW right on the end of the spit of land in Operation Clean Sweep - I got my Basic Ground Defence badge there and I was only on it for 5 minutes - swimming APCs = sitting metal ducks.

I wonder if you could get that many kills from the position Dark0ne suggested as the MEC have no reason to expose themselves to its fire. Maybe one or two stupid people but then the flow of play might shift forward anyway.

You're all wrong noobs.

U gotta be a...COMMANDER!

Slap your self in a ground defence item and arty the carrier away on wake...they count as ground defence kills!

Got expert AA and expert ground defence first time and in one round...just look at the amount of kills i got in ground defence 3000+ kill vs 120 Deaths.

I rule.


BrightAsh
SH*T does that still work?! i thought they fixed that a while ago!
mogambo
Better hurry before they close this loophole!

TV2 Servers permit attack on the uncaps.....their 24/7 Wake is the way forward soldier!

Indeed we tried, looking at our (combined efforts) we should have had it by now. But alas "cruel" faith has prevented it laugh.gif We did get Veteran ground defense by employing the folling tactic

Map Karkand, as MEC go to top left USMC spawn (the one with tow) an kill a couple of apc/tank/transports (gives +/-5 before the catch on) than use the mounten machinegun or Tow at square or Tow oppisite of bridge for the other 5. But this way eventually the round is to short to get 20 of them (max i got was 14)

This was my other guess, but than again 20 kills, they will cath on, or if there's a pilot around with my kind of "skills" your two nice free easy to get bonuspoints

Roger wilco, will do this asap. I know about the TV2 servers (couple of them are in my favorites) and i got several other servers that have the following motto "history is written by the victors, if certain unetical situations pop up during the war, we will leave them out of the history books"

Dark0ne
Just sat in a AA emplacement as commander and it still said they were killed by Atry. Has the bug been fixed?
mogambo
Arty kills IN GAME will still come up as arty attributed, however stats wise they have always been attributed to the emplacement/vehicle you are currently in....and anyone is wondering holding a knife/pistol/gun while killing people with arty doesn't work!

You wont know how many kills you are currently racking up so its normally prudent to play somewhere you are guaranteed kills using Arty....i.e. target a big floating metal ship with 2 R2D2's sporting hardon's at each end....

I don’t know if this has been a long outstanding bug but its always been systematically abused, and knowing DICE/EA it highly probable it will eventually be closed.
BrightAsh
This means i really got to hurry. I don't really feal like getting it the regular way. Like Smidsy said, in a tow you are too much of a sitting duck

I have noticed recently that when using arty on the ESSEX (when playing the TV2 servers) that no rounds hit the carrier deck, they all land to either side and I get no kills! WTF? I tried this several times on a couple of different maps - still no arty kills on the carrier. I guessed EA had made a fix in 1.3 to stop people getting easy arty kills.

Has anyone else tried and succeeded in getting art kills on the carrier?

BTW - I got my Expert ground defence and AA my playing commander (nice one Gambo!)
BrightAsh
naaa, you just have to aim besides the deck, opposite to where you miss... this bug already exits from day one

Ahhh, now i see. You can tell I've not spent much time as commander arty'ing the hell out of the ESSEX.

Cheers!

The Expert AA and ground defence will only take 1 round each. I did AA on Wake (arty on China Airstrip)and GD on Karkland (arty on hotel - which the USMC players didnt thank me too much).
