They could expand into other fake markets too, like the Imperial Guard tree ending in a Stormsword.

Tanks all include an extra commissar crewmember that shoots someone every time you miss

I think the best think about ranked is it doesn't count for missions. I'm playing a lot of Type 5, which is top of the tree here, but no tokens. I have to earn 10k XP before or after ranked in randoms so I can get the supply box missions too :bravo:

Betcha the chat system is broke because someone has been trying to setup the backend for their new chat system (I'm wagering it's cross-wargaming chat like ships - tanks) and accidentally broke the live production system in the meantime. I'd love for chat to be useful, like chatting with individual tells/replies while in-game or out. I doubt they'll make it work like that though.

There was a Father's Day mission where you play a battle and get a Coffee. One Coffee, once per account. It didn't count Ranked battles. Wargaming doesn't even try to support their new game modes, it's the most bizarre thing.

Stage 3 start: 10% cutoff at 177th place, 14 points 69.92%

50% mark is at 9 points, 67.78%, meaning there's only 1768 players on the leaderboard with 8 or more points. Good times.

The ranked battles are also making the random battles pretty awful by pulling anyone with any basic knowledge of the game out of the queue. I've never seen so many red and grey players before.

If you look at a tank and see that breathtakingly dumb insignia, will you think that the person with it on their tank is a high priority?

It's ok though, because finishing in the top x% of the ranked league gives you 3 premium repair and medkits.
*looks at ammo bill from a night of Type 5 ranked, silent tears running down cheeks*

Another weird thing, ranked battles would be kind of perfect to do personal missions in. They often suck in randoms because you have to play in a specific way that doesn't really coincide with helping your team win, and that's already the pro-tier move in ranked.

I've been platooning with other goons in PANSY and just realized it'd be impossible to send invites to players just on your friends list. Couldn't you get around that by joining a chat channel, though?

Yeah you can do that, but sometimes you won't get the invite if you're on the same server. You also can't invite legionnaries to strongholds while chat server is down.

american tanks are more solidly made chinese will just blow up if you decide to click i hear.

how is the EU server doing with ranked battles wondering because it has a player base unlike NA , by that i mean is it hard to get to rank 5 in a day or how are people playing in battles compared to normal random battle

They should at least have fun with this. Make an Oddball Sherman that plays "all for the love of sunshine" and have a special mission that requires you to sit in reserve and do fuckall incase New York is threatened. If your team wins you get a second mission to win some gold if you win the next battle. You have to survive and the prize is divided up between all Oddballs that took part in that battle and survived

Tiger 131 giveaway. You don't have to watch the streams but you do have to post into a thread with a mastery badge score card. Note: It says any master badge, not just ace. Considering goons should collect those at least every other game, this is probably the easiest way to get a German HT No 6.

German, not Japanese. I mentioned HT No 6 because it is an exact clone: http://tanks.gg/compare/ht-no-vi?t=tiger-131. I have two German heavy trains which don't work with the tier 10s, but I will always take more trainers.

Also, they have the same ammunition, but the 131's Pzgr 39 somehow is 33m/s faster and the HT VI's AP shell costs 12 credits less :psyduck:
