But testing CVs in PTS shows that sometimes ribbon is rewarded for multible times (but only one can be real first spotter). For example, got 14. spotted ribbons in one battle in PTS. Have not heard they are chaning ribbons, so most likely the bug is present in Live aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably, cuz I have spot the enemy Flint 2 times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, then as usual WG has wrong mission description. I thought that there are 2 different ones they use - spot and be 1st to spot. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[A-N-D] PermaKite Players 450 posts 33,154 battles Report post #8 Posted January 14, 2019 There should be 2 different indicators if there are 2 types of spot ribbon. I hope I could tell right WG!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[CHEFT] DFens_666 Players 12,944 posts 10,935 battles Report post #10 Posted January 14, 2019 Its actually correct, alltho the description is questionable. - Spot 6 ships (as @Profilus said, i think they used to write "be the first to spot" ) - Get 6 spotted ribbons There is the difference basicly. Ive read both, and the first one means different ships, the other is counting the spotted ribbons. (if you dont know, you can get a spotted ribbon every 1 minute if the ship is not spotted) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really miss someting or bug? 1 hour ago, Profilus said: Well, then as usual WG has wrong mission description. I thought that there are 2 different ones they use - spot and be 1st to spot. Well, it's not exactly "wrong" - there is no mistake, just terminology that might be somewhat confusing for unenlightened (WG communication skillz ztrike back) Basically, there are two similar but different mission conditions: 1. Get X spotting ribbons and 2. Spot X ships Every ship can be spotted by someone only once per battle - after that the ship is considered "already spotted" for the rest of the match (if you see a "shadow" of ship's last known position on the minimap, it means that the ship has already been spotted). Getting spotting ribbons is significantly easier since these are awarded also for re-establishing contact after a spotted ship had slipped from view for long enough (I don't remember how long precisely, but I think you can get that info if you hover your cursor over the ribbon). Now, currently most missions/tasks want you to accumulate spotting ribbons - but it should be noted that all of them state that clearly in their respective completion conditions. These missions/tasks explicitly demand you to accumulate a set number of ribbons of this kind. If, however, the condition asks for "spotting ships" rather than "accumulating spotted ribbons", it means that this particular task/mission doesn't follow that trend and what's needed is the initial spot; merely re-establishing a lost contact won't do the trick.

Ferry_25 Players 4,392 posts 12,107 battles Report post #12 Posted January 14, 2019 AFAIK the spot ribbons "refresh" after a certain time. So it shouldn't matter if you spot the same ship over and over after the "cooldown" for spotting has expired. I'd say something's really off here OP. I'd say this is worthy of getting WG's attention. @MrConway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[JHF] locky92003 Players 72 posts Report post #14 Posted January 15, 2019 I had the same problem but I think a spotted ship that breaks contact will be classed spotted again after 90 seconds of undetectability so you can spot the same ship twice but will only count as 1 spot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
