On my profile page I see 2 badges under 'Service Awards' that I do not have, for which aircraft type are they ??

 

Flying Huntmaster Badge - awarded for achieving maximum effectiveness in fulfilling the aircraft-type specific mission "Intercept"

 

Flying Protector Badge - awarded for achieving maximum effectiveness in fulfilling the aircraft-type specific mission "Escort attack aircraft"

All the Blue service awards, contrasted with the regular Conquest service awards which are Red, are for Bomber Escort.

There's a separate thread with Bomber Escort aircraft-specific missions.

Almost all. The blue Team Player Badge is also awarded in the Invasion Game Mode.

not stupid and cruel at all

 

that's the way all 'team sports' work      sometimes you win as a team, sometimes you lose as a team

 

hardly ever  seldom  never is every member of any team equal in ability        except... maybe tennis or bridge

 

If it was a team.  All too often it is the bots and matchmaker associated with bot aircraft and skill placement that determines the winner of a match.  There is no "team" when it's 1 to 3 players and a bunch of bots.  They've even seemed to have reduced the bots willingness to follow player commands (such as f7 sos), which they, albeit anecdotally, seemed to sometimes help out before.  The really cheap thing about that is that now the bots will give "affirmative" or whatever callbacks.  But, whatever the player is calling out doesn't seem to affect their control logic at all, anymore.

 

So, when every team member is not equal AND the game decided which of the teammates were not equal by mismatching bot skill, then there is no "win" or "lose" as a team.  It's win or lose at the game's whim.

It's only been NINE months. (sarc)  Rome and WoWP weren't ruined in just one day.

 

You're right. It only took 5 (4?) years for 2.0.  Maybe at 3.0 that will be a thing.

We'll have to agree to disagree.        The game doesn't have a whim
