Since there is some debate over the requirements for this ribbon, and with ubar.sc having its requirements for this ribbon somewhat inaccurate, i have drawn my own conclusions and would like some input:
My Theory:
firstly, lets look at the name of the ribbon. war college ribbon. this could mean a few things.
war college. to go to college you need to be good at school. it would work in the same way for the game, people who do well in the game go to war college.
secondly look at its description. its written right there.
"Awarded to recognize acheivements which, through their dedication and gallantry, have set the individual apart and above other commanders"
words like dedication - could it be that you need to have a higher commander score than teamwork score?. or you need to be in the top 100 commanders?, or maybe you need 75 hours not 50. both people i've seen who have the war college ribbon have over 75 hours.
Comparisons
the requirements for veteran command badge are
15,000 commander points
33 minutes as commander in one game.
Command Proficiency (total commander score): Skilled
Command Qualification (time as commander in one game): Outstanding.
now, Commander Proficiency for the w.c ribbon is Good, and the Qualification Outstanding. so we know that the Qualification (total time in one round) is the same for both the veteran badge and the ribbon, (33 minutes in one round) and the proficiency (total commander score) for the ribbon is less than the vet badge (15,000) (global commander score - could be 10,000)
ok. so we know that you need 33 minutes in one round, and at least 10,000 global points.
now. have a look at the staff officer ribbon.
Command Rating: Satisfactory. this is the commander score in one round which for the staff officer ribbon you need 50. outstanding is 3 levels higher than satisfactory so im guessing youl'll need 75+ if not 100+ (excluding the 2x bonus). put it all together and you have
Commander Proficiency: (10,000)
Commander Rating: (~75 -100+ in one game)
Commander Qualification: (33 minutes in one round)
I believe 50 global commander hours is not part of the criteria nor is the kill to death ratio of 3. all we need now is for someone to test it
