You're cute.

Not going to get into another argument with the rest of the "I am awesome at pix tanks you nubs!" crowd; however:

Facts

I received 5998 XP in a battle where I scored 5 kills in my O-I.

It was not base experience (minus premium bonus), but I never claimed it was. It was absolutely not a x2 match.

There may have even been other bonuses going on (probably even), but the splash didn't show them.

Conclusion

I even loving screenshotted this, but like I said I'm not trying win an argument with the "we're soooo much awesome" pix tanks crowd on the Internet.

I got roughly 6000xp with 5 kills with an O-I and got a 3rd class badge.

i dont have any good insults that are going to top you continuously self owning but you have written more words about tryhards in tanks than anyone else in this thread, and possibly everywhere

I'd bet it was on monday. every game on monday in which you were in the top 10 on your team in xp was a x2 match

The first five wins after the daily double in each tank were x4 matches. Also that 1281 exp includes premium, so his highest base exp is less than 900. So his game had to include another exp mission because not even the 50% exp consumable would push that to 6k on a quad.

But no, he's technically right. It wasn't a double, it was doubled twice and then some. So not "a" double.

Here you go :fap:

Last time I sink to this level, and I'm doing this now only because I'm drunk.

Base xp 3909. No times 2, just like I loving said. There could be hidden bonuses I am not aware of, because it isn't listed.

Edit.

Looking at it now, it looks like I was awarded a combat coefficient of two for a mission. Don't know how this map actually works out with the XP I was given. Nonetheless, base XP was 3909 and I got a third class medal.

You do see that there is a scrollbar there below the "Brazillian Independence Day" multiplier, right? If you were anyone else people would have explained it better but you just loving ask for the sass, especially because you often refuse to believe that there is a possibility that someone else is right. The size of the scrollbar make it look like you have at least two more modifiers to your after-battle XP modifiers.

hey moron, if you scrolled down underneath the brazilian independence mission you'd see a x3 for the "Defending the Convoy" mission. I'm pretty sure you're one of the people in this thread that is dumber than the average pubbie E100

Wait I thought it was pretty obvious from the context of the thread and everyone else talking about it, but you don't actually know what base experience is. It's experience before any multipliers or bonuses, including premium, missions, courageous resistance, etc. You can see base experience on the second or third tab; the first tab includes mission bonuses and courageous resistance. Your base experience for that battle was under a thousand.

If you scrolled down there was another mission giving you a combat experience coefficient of three, and due to the way it works everything after premium is additive so a x2 mission plus a x3 missions gives you an effective x4 multiplier. There was also another mission or bonus, though I'm not sure what, that gave you a small experience boost because your highest base experience is under 900.

Math is not hard, at least not that hard, and not for most people.

Unlike half the people here, I admit every time I loving say anything that I might be wrong. Which fine, whatever. I posted that I got poo poo ton of XP without getting a badge above 3rd class on a game where I was not getting the daily x2. Then of course, the response was "no you didn't you liar..." essentially, of course when I posted the screenshot there are 50 other reasons why it doesn't prove the :shrek:

UndeadTrotsky, please consider this: you posted something so stupid that the rest of the thread dogpiled you before I could. That's an impressive series of ignorant posts. You're awful. We're willing to help players play well and have fun, but there's like two goons who are decent and the rest of us are bad. We're just usually not as bad as the incredibly terrible playerbase so it works out for most of us.

You are as bad as the incredibly terrible playerbase due to your own choices. Please choose to use your eyes and brain. We easily could have explained what base XP actually was and how mastery badges are awarded. Hint - if premium accounts or doubles or mission XP counted for the mastery badges, no one could ever get a badge when there wasn't an event ongoing, and people without premium accounts couldn't get one ever. Make sense? Cool. Please stop choosing to be bad.

It really isn't base XP, though. That's modified XP. So you got 5.8k modified XP, and modified XP doesn't count for badges. The only number that matters is the XP shown in the detailed battle results tab, that's the base XP before any multipliers, including premium.

Also, please don't use ableist language!!

I just bought the O-Ni and played 4 games in it. It's pretty meh IMO. It can kick alot of rear end when it's top of the food chain but higher tiers give it hell, just like the rest of this line so far.

http://wotreplays.com/site/2139656#lakeville-axetrain-o-ni

But if 1424 base exp is only enough for a 1st class then some people must be working wonders in it. Also I should note I switched to the Derp gun after a couple games because that 10.5 feels even shittier than the 150.

You are retarded and everything you say is wrong, even after multiple people have explained why you are wrong you just keep getting wronger.

Again, Base XP is your XP before any modifiers and this is what mastery badges are based on. Getting a bunch of XP from missions and not getting a good mastery badge is perfectly normal and expected. Also, when you point out a game was not a double that also implies there were not any other mission XP multipliers. You have no idea what you are talking about, please shut up.
