tank kill award...

Post by timmy872 »

it was asked before but never answered i think...

what was the patch/ award issued for??? i believe it was for a pesonal attack on enemy armour but what was the end result required?
there are 3 result types we used to use, K (total kill) ,M (mobility kill), and G (gun kill) what did they need to achieve to get the award?

regards

Total destruction of the armor. It came in Gold and Silver. Silver = 1, Gold = 3

I thought 1 Gold = 5 Silver?

Indeed, Tom. Tank Killers were supposed to put up a Gold badge for every five Silver badges. Not all of them did.

Oh sorry. Yes, Tom is correct. I had a little bit of a mis-count. Sorry about that.

Gold = 5 Confirmed
