DuVeL’s guide 2 rank.
Most of you allready know that I like to rank.
I decided to help out those on this forum who like to rank aswell by putting up this little guide.
Some people do it for the unlocks, some for the medals and badges.
The best way to get an unlock when you’ve just started playing is to play resupply and especially on a map like Karkand. Medic is also good to start of on Karkand but there will be loads of arty on the Hotel the first 10 minutes of the map so watch out for that.
For me the best unlock was the supportrifle and sniperrifle, also the engineerrifle is a good one. The best spot on Karkand for me is the right side as US and as MEC the left side. This is the place where people will try and get through. A good spot on the left as a MEC is on a building on the left but you will get arty there so keep your eyes and ears open because you can hear the enemy arty firing up there.
***Engineer,
get in a vehicle (tank/APC) and stay close to other vehicles so you repair that other vehicle. If you have a good teammate with VoiceComm (VC), try to get a vehicle and stick together. This will give you repairpoints and together you will have a fast way to capture flags and rank easily. You can also repair Arty/UAV by sitting in your tank/APC/Humvee/Vodnik.
***Medic,
stay close to your SquadLeader (SL). People will spawn on him. Best thing to do is to stay a little bit behind him. Do watch your rear though! If you run, run with your Medpack out. In the next patch you wont be able to shoot while moving. Also for the Medic counts: People who are close to your vehicle will get some healing.
***2 Medals for the price of one!
Knifebadge: This one was pretty difficult for me to get but I got the bronze and silver together. I already had quit a few knifekills when I decided to get the knifebadge.
For the Bronze Badge you need 7 knifekills. For the Silver Badge you need 7 knifekills and a total of +50 knifekills. So if you have +50 knifekills in total, try to get the medals, you’ll first receive the Silver, then the Bronze. The same thing would work on the Pistolbadge aswell although for the Bronze Pistolbadge you need 5 Pistolkills in a round and for silver 7 and +50 Pistolkills.
***Receiving Bronze/Silver/Gold medals.
The best thing to get them is to join small servers (16 player servers). See also the next point about the Commander Badge.
***Commander Badge.
You can be the commander on the 16 player servers the most easiest. If you want good squads then listen to their requests. Also help spotting enemies. Warn when people get close to where you want to put an Artystrike. A bonus about being the commander is that if you win with your team you’ll receive a 2x bonus on the average of points that were achieved by al your teams/squads. This will usually give you the most points of the winning team and it increases your chances in receiving a medal. In the next patch you’ll receive points by responding to the requests.
***AntiTanksquad (AT).
2 AT-guys can be really annoying on ranked servers if they stick together. If you have a Resupplyguy with it aswell: A massacre! The resupplyer will get lots of resupplypoints and the AT-guys will do good stuff on taking out Tanks/APC’s/Jeeps.
Suggestions:
***If you start a squad: Call it: Teamwork. If you have a mic start up: MicTeam or so. I got on a few ranked servers guys who prais me for starting a team like this but it’s so easy.
If people want to check out a gun for an unlock, then send me a PM. We can set up a game on the MeatHook and you can switch kits with mine (I have all the guns)

If you are the commander I found out that this works aswell:
By killing people with the artillery, these kills WILL count for any badge/medal for the kit you are playing at that moment. Say you don't have 12 kills in air defense or the 12 kills in basic ground defense. Go and sit in a TOW or AntiAircraft thing, and when you blow up people with your arty, they will count for the AA or TOW. 8)
Well, I guess if you want a class combat badge for a class you suck with (engineer was the one I did this with), just hop into a vehicle or gun emplacement you're good with and get some kills - they'll count towards the X number of kills you need for the basic badge, while at the same time racking up minutes in a round on a vehicle for a vehicle badge.
Pahh I need no badge ;) /filter rank severs on ...Usefull link bit at the bottom of ya post,

i fouind out some more stuff about comanders:
the comander badge
when trying to get your points up a kill with anything is 1 point
when someone kills a spoted person (that u have spotted or use the UVA with) you get 1 point
but......
beware of using artilary because 1 team kill takes 3 points from your score
this info helped me to get my badge and i hope it helps others :)
You know what the anoying thing is on publics? People of your side keep running towards the artillery... Even after a few warnings :( :angry: :ranting:
I now have 9561/10000, so 439 points to go to my Expert Commander Badge. 8) Still good info Glen!
yer they all run straight into it!!! :ranting:
i've seen on the radar someone stop outside the artilaries range for about 2 seconds and then they just run in so anoying if you want to do good
