What a heartbreaker. 2500 damage, ran out of ammo, capped to within 15 seconds before being damaged in a blindshot by arty and being forced to make it a draw.

In my AMX 12T, tier 8 game.

If only my dumb pubbie hellcat capped with me instead of whatever the gently caress he thought he was doing.

Alright, I already had all the tanks so I went for the most expensive tank and got its value in gold. If I play my tanks right maybe I'll qualify for more free gold and/or tanks!

Edit: I do need to start platooning in light tanks and arty though. If anyone's interested in either feel free to hit me up.

Watched some reviews and it seems to be all about the clip and suffers a lot to get it. Little armour, not very fast, seems to be the only Swede tank without good gun depression (although -6 isn't awful), doesn't seem to make great credits, but on the other than you can poo poo lot of burst damage.

Tier 8s? gently caress, the O-I is incredibly hard to pen with 171 pen, and the O-Ni is functionally immortal.

I don't know what it is with wargaming making "weakspots" stronger than normal armor. It's really really stupid and is one of the worst things for newer players.

I had a pretty spectacular (by my standards) game in the KV-1 last night - about 1800 damage, 6 kills, 1700xp or so. Just abused the other team. Still didn't get Master! I have to figure it's super duper high just because of how much that tanks gets played but I was surprised. Is there any way to check?

1. Go to wotreplays.com.
2. Click on Ace Tanker
3. In the Filter menu on the left: select the tank you're interested in, leave the rest as it is.
4. Sort by experience.
5. Check the lowest experience: this is what will get you the Ace Tanker badge on this vehicle.

This will only give you a rough idea; but for a tank like the KV1 it'll only take a few days before there will be enough ace tanker replays posted in 9.16 that you can have a much more precise estimate. There are only 2 9.16 KV1 Ace Tanker replays posted ATM.

Speaking of Aces, is there a similar list for marks of excellence? I only have two on one tank (the M41 HMC, lol), I'm curious how much more I need to get another on like my Borsig.

New Paris map is cool, it's like a city map, but more open, had a great first game on it.

All that was left was some high tier arty and myself (Borsig). We cornered each other by his flag, not wanting to get shotgunned, I forced his move by starting to cap (he couldn't come around the corner fast enough to shoot me.) I was in front of a big rear end building block and I figured once I started capping he'd go to the opposite side and try to be sneaky. Sure enough he comes around the opposite corner and tries to snap one off quick. It goes way wide, so I blow him up with about 4 seconds left on the cap timer.

You should have waited for the cap, waited about 3 seconds after getting the exclamation point to make them think they're going to get to avoid a repair bill, and then blow them up to crush their dreams. It's not enough to win - you must crush the opponent spiritually.

I don't know if there's any list like that, but one of the tank carousel mods puts your current percentage on each tank in the garage along with other stats. Since I've been concentrating on marks of distinction (got 2nd mark in my t-34-85 last night) it's actually become one of my favorite mods. You can find your current percentage in the tank statistics, but it's kind of a pain in the rear end, and not something you are going to want to do after every battle. But by having the number right in front of you and seeing it change with each battle, you get a decent feel for the kind of damage (and assisted damage) numbers you need in order to keep the percentage going up.

It's arguable how many mods are actually needed anymore. The autoaim mod is the only really big quality of life mod left to implement, other than stuff like auto-equip (which won't ever be implemented in the game) or the HP pools or the remaining HP of players on the player panel (which would just confuse the hell out of the pubbies) or battle assistant which was on the sandbox and probably shouldn't be a legal mod but is so probably should just be implemented in the main game.

Welp some -404- member just intentionally pushed me into enemy shots and tried to push me off a cliff, so I teamkilled them and was banned for an hour. Other than that the new patch seems good.

Screen shake while in sniper mode is still one of those dumb things that Wargaming refuses to just remove so add that to the list of mods that are necessary. Shaking when you move is dumb, shaking when you fire is also dumb, and having to chose between those is really dumb.

Acts (1:13:04 PM) you have rogue member tan tan tank god. His unsportsman like conduct as a team member has repeatedly been reported. This person is representing your clan, and shows no civil conduct what so ever. I'm not sure what your clan represents, but if it represents total disrespect for other members of WoT, then tan tan tank god has single handedly held that low standard perfectly. I hold you responsible for his total disrespect and misconduct :-/

What you are seeing here is base xp versus total xp. Base xp is what matters for mastery, total xp is with win and premium bonus. Base is shown in the 15v15 results screen, and Ace badges on good tanks can typically require 1000 to 1100, with really great tanks might be 1300+.
