According to some (and I have to agree), tier 8 MM is busted at the moment. It seems that you will very rarely be top tier.

 

Let's find out if it is true!

 

What you have to do is:

-Play 100 battles with a non-preferential MM tank (arties not included).
-Jot down the amount of times you were top tier, mid tier and bottom tier.

-Post your results (and some information, like at what time you played)
-Vote according to your results. I added the option "Laati is the king of Norway" for those who want to skew the poll results by trolling.

I'd be interested in doing this for science (not starting today though, as the sh'tfest that was tonight's session has me thoroughly burnt out), but I cannot guarantee I won't just vote for every poll option when I'm done. When the opportunity is there it's hard to resist you know?

[VonniVidiVici]

Starting today, I'll just keep editing this post after every session, using tank - tier spread - map - win/loss format. Only played two in non-PMM VIII this morning, I'll try not to play anything else to hurry this along.

 

Forgot to mention this earlier: all battles are played solo on standard account without any kind of booster, encounter mode enabled, assault mode disabled. I won't play anything other than non-PMM VIII until this is done to avoid throwing MM off.

M41 GF VII-IX Himmelsdorf win

TVP VTU or something VIII-X Redshire win
Panther 8.8 VIII Steppes win
Lorraine VIII-X Highway win
Löwe VIII-X Ruinberg win
T-44-100 VIII-IX Fjords win

 

Preliminary conclusion: non-PMM tier VIII premium tanks appear to pad my WR for whatever reason. Find out if that persists on the next exciting episode of DRAGONBA... erm, 1ncompetenc3 on tour. Yes, let's call it that.

Of course it doesn't persist. This in spite of the fact I've been smoking something called Panzer Kush most of the night. Apparently that doesn't synergize as well with WoT as I had hoped.

2x tier VI, 8x tier X. Nothing wrong with that picture at all. Decent map variety though. Gotta take the small victories.

No updates because I had a funeral yesterday, have another one coming up tomorrow, and frankly I'm not in the mood to play WoT. Might have a go but since WoT doesn't work very well as a distraction don't expect much today and tomorrow.

All hail the King of Norway!

[Skrill_Craft]

even at tier 6 i get alot off tier 8 i usually end up being top tier for once

Surprisingly decent tier spread, though I'm beginning to wonder if VII-VIII is even a thing any more.

If you don't want to see tier X very often in your tier VIII, now is the time to play.

I thought I'd spam light tanks since I still have a 7k spotting mission selected. This used to be p'ss easy, but I was stuck on an RNG mission for so long I couldn't select this mission before 9.18, and unfortunately scouting died with that patch so my highest assist in this session was less than half of what I needed.

In other news, I had a VII-VIII match. Thought it was a UI bug at first. And hey look at that, we still have 19 battles to go and we're already in the poll option with the most tier X matches.

Aaand done. We're actually exceeding the worst case scenario in the poll with 39% of all battles being tier X, so I have no other option than to vote Laati as the king of Norway.
