How to get "Intelligence" awards?

[gulyas]

I've never been clear on this point, I just randomly get it. The daily challenges sometimes require it, and they are rare enough that it's essentially never completed, unless it requires 1-2.

What do I have to do or what conditions have to be true to get it?

Pretty sure you have to kill tanks who has been spotted by a light tank to get "According to intelligence" or spot for your team and have them kill them

"Intelligence" is pretty straight forward, but it requires your teammates not to be brainless.

Every time you spot a vehicle with your binoculars (typically through the Light Tank feature) and your teammates kill that vehicle, you get an "Intelligence" badge. The best way I've found to do it is just follow a group of friendlies around and every time you encounter hostile vehicles, spot them before your teammates can kill them and you get an Intelligence Badge.

A small benefit for you is you also rack up Assists for your teammates killing a spotted target as well so if you have another task that revolves around Assists, you can use the spotting system as well to rack those up.

Ye, According to Intelligence is you hunting down and killing spotted units from your teammates.

You mean if I scout them, and they get the kill, I still get the badge? Or do you mean I scout them and then kill them myself?

Your teammates have to kill it. If you kill it, no badge.

As already pointed out, light tanks using the commanders B's can Scout an enemy tank, if during the time frame that enemy is Scouted (marked on the map and having a red marker blinking in there area for awhile) the target is destroyed you get that reward and an assist point for the light tank that scouted it. Light tanks can easily score all the points you need to air spawn if you get killed later on just by scouting some enemies and them getting destroyed shortly after wards.

I LOVE my lights cause of how easy it is to score points even without kills, I nail first place for quite a while with all the assist I get via scouting and if I get knocked out I can easily spawn in a bomber/fighter/attacker to add some air support.

One thing to remember though, the range an enemy is at can and will affect weather or not your scout ability will work, sometimes they are too far away ( your view skill is too low) and you'll just burn a scout use and have to wait a while for it to recharge. Be sure you have your B's pointed right at them like you were point and click firing at them at point blank range, this often helps to scout targets that are far enough away that your scout might not work if your not aiming Right at them, even a slight point off can result in the scouting not working and having a long cool down.

"According to intelligence" is you killing enemy vehicles that have been actively scouted by your teammates.

"Intelligence" is your teammates kill enemy vehicles that have been scouted by YOU.
Are still under your "scouting influence".
And YOU saw them FIRST (and actively scouted them).

So if you want "Intelligence" you scout everything red.
If you saw them first, they are still "scouted" by you, and somebody of your team kills them, you get an "Intelligence" award.
A lot that is not under your influence, but if you're scouting a lot, it can happen multipe times in one match (if you're lucky).
