tricky ribbons :S any tips welcome

i havent really been trying too much for ribbons until recently, when i got down to my last 4 ribbons

 

- stationary emplacement - get 2 kills with an emplacement weapon (finally got this a coupld of nights ago)

 

can be a bit trciky to get 2 kills, usually get sniped, because you obviously have to stay in one place, normally in the open.

 

- M-COM defender - get 4 M-COM defence kills

 

this is doin my head in, so many times ive got 3 of these kills, from what i can work out then need to be trying to plant when you kill them

 

- air warfare ribbon - get 6 kills with air vehicles

 

i am crap at getting kills with helicopters and even worse at jets, best way to get this should be turret gunner on apache with a good pilot

 

- suppression assist ribbon - get 7 suppression assists

 

get a few of these but never seem to be able to get 7 , my only idea on this one would be to use an LMG and team up with an assault. just spray randomly at the enemy while your friend shoots them.

Re: tricky ribbons :S any tips welcome

I got the air warefare last night.... use scout heli's to take down tanks etc. can usually get a double kill with a full tank, then you've got the enemy scout heli which has a max of 4 thats the ribbon there (best way to do it is be pro-active on a map such as damavand peak CQ) if you can pinch the enemy heli to give yourself air dominance which will make it easier to get the ground kills.

Stationary AT just destroy a vehicle.

 

MCOM defender found that easiest on Op Metro, particularly the toilet cubical bit were I received all 4 defender bonuses :smileyvery-happy:

 

Air warfare is easy enough in a chopper. Unlocked 1 purely using the jets #justsaying @ratchet34321 :smileyvery-happy:

 

Suppression Assist. my first 1 took ages partly because NX13 is useless at killing people :Argh: Had a few now despite not trying for them. Areas with alot happening especially down chokepoints are the best places to get them :Thumbs:

- suppression assist ribbon - get 7 suppression assists

I got this by a fluke really. I think I just unlocked a new LMG. So with a combo of iron sites and massive recoil, I was firing everywhere haha.

 

- M-COM defender - get 4 M-COM defence kills

I got this without even trying on Tehran Highway, during Rush. I was surprised when it came up haha.

 

 

- air warfare ribbon - get 6 kills with air vehicles

 I got this on Wake Island. I had a great pilot on the Viper. He had a excellent gunner , which was me!

 

 

The only ribbon out of your list I went for was the stationary AT kills. The rest just happened....It can be very annoying when your trying to get them.

LOL for real? You want a new scout chopper pilot (i.e. no guided missile) to go against tanks? That wouldn't be my recommendation :smileywink:

 

For the annoying stationary emplacement one, exploit the glitch... Don't feel bad - if Dice are going to put a stupid ribbon in, taking a shortcut beats wasting hours, deaths and whole games for two legit kills. Just place a load of land mines and camp on an emplacement.

 

Mines go off, kills count as emplacement kills. Win. Ribbon. Profit.

Why not? I don't have guided missles!!  Just takes a hell of a lot of straifs to kill a tank.  Cannons are there for a reason ya know!

Have fun flying :smileywink:
