Objective - Win a battle.

 

Well you see here's the problem with that. It's a team based game so winning isn't really something I can influence a great deal more than 60% so that means almost half the battles I will play are not going to get any bonus X3 crew xp. Can you not just make "per battle" instead next time?

Also, that was a bit of a tease with the Christmas jumpers for tanks, I actually would like a Christmas jumper for my tank lol.

Pointless "special". So not only you have to win and be in the top ten you also have to have got the first victory of the day in the tank before as well.

What is wrong with making this x3 crew xp every battle so long as you finish in the top ten?

Better off just playing premium tanks and buying crew books. A much more time efficient way to get crew training.

 

 

Try to see it like this: every time you win a battle and you're also in the top 10xp, you don't just get the glory and normal benefits, you take home an extra x3 crew xp bonus. You're very likely going to play a lot during this period for one reason or another - this is basically an encouraging plus when you happen to meet the clauses. If it stresses you to play to meet the requirements, then don't, just play for fun, play for yourself - eventually you'll meet the requirements anyway and get at least some of the bonus anyway.

Doesn't feel very "Festive" in the game at the moment. Any news on the Christmas Garage and events??

This game is definitely pandering to all my womanly instincts at this point.

I like this event, but it is the wrong encouragement. I can secure victory for the team when 14 lemmings push on 1 flank. I go hulldown on a strategy point to defend the other flank. Fire once my gun to scare their first tank that comes looking and take 2 shots from their redline campers. That is what I did to get the victory. Most likely I will be 12-13th on the list as I only did damage (if rng does not bite me in the behind) once and get no assistance damage.

As usually it only "rewards" aggressive and me-first-mentality.

From where do you have that crew? They look like some gentlemen from the 1910s. 

 

Those Crew were from the World War 1 special mode last year?  Year before?

They were available in summer 2016, on the 100th anniversary of the tank - it was also the first time ever when wheeled vehicles were made available in WoT  

They do not have any special perks per se, but they look just like the first soldiers of the Royal Armoured Corps from 1916.

It's not every time I win a battle though.

Your restrictions clearly say "after the first victory of the day bonus has been used up" So I have to get a win then get another win in the same tank. So unless you're playing the same tank over and over this special will have no benefits.

No idea why you would even bother with such a restriction. Seems a bit miserly to me.

How you doing bruv? Merry Xmas and all that. Looking forward to "Holiday Ops?" It is my favourite event of the year. Opening all those little chests looking for specific decorations or praying they are simply high Tier ones. To this day even after what? Hundreds boxes over the last two years I still save em up all day and open them one by one..... I am such a kid. What I commented for is, "are you getting the x3 Crew experience? I have won half a dozen games today or more and I have been the top 10 in all of them I think, maybe one was out but no more than that. However on the mission tab it says 0 completions for the mission and just to be sure. I won a game in the King Tiger © immediately before coming here to comment. (I am doing 3 a day in the King Tiger ©  for the kilo missions, those blueprints come in handy) I was about 8th on my team and I definitely did not get the mission x3 Crew Experience applied and my mission header still says 0 completed? Are you sue you are getting it Ark? It would be easy to miss with all the Donner und Blitzen and Cornet and what have you missions and others. That or it is just me which really would be weird. Did you do the Renegade? That was a rip off mate. I do not care who you are or how good you are it would have been practically impossible to finish it. I have got to 40% discount but I will not be getting any further before Monday morning and it is early hours Monday morning not Tuesday morning like all the other missions. I just do not see how anybody could have done it. (with the possible exception of Qb but he plays like a Demi-God) I have suspected for a while they are scaling these things as cash benefits. They know anybody who tries for it will buy it for whatever discount they have achieved rather than waste the work they have put in. I bet they do not expect hardly anyone to be able to discount it beyond 50% or so. It is a clever marketing trick if a little underhand and exploitative. Worst part of it is I shall be exploited myself sometime on Monday when I buy it for the 40% discount I have which really gets my gears grinding but I cannot help myself. I have not spent the weekend chasing this tank not to possess it in the end. Oh well, I shall cheer myself up with the new festive garage on Wednesday and start collecting my decorations. I hope they let us complete last years collections more easily, like they let us complete the year befores, last year. I got the two I really liked in 2018/19 but having seen it on a number of tanks throughout the year I would also like to get the Chinese New Year camo from 2018. which I did not get. Ok, Merry Xmas Ark and take care of yourself. Yee Haa

The Christmas collection camos are the jumpers.

There have been one or two over the last two years that look particularly like bad Christmas jumpers. I have two of them one with red crabs or some sort of shellfish on a white background and the other deep red with candy canes no less! Last year there was one with holly all over it but to be honest I think it actually looks pretty cool. I also got the sky blue one last year which I also think looks good and though I did not complete the Chinese New Year collection in 2018, so far, through this year I have seen the camo with its dark base and multi-coloured fireworks and I have wished I had it. Hopefully, like last year we will be able to finish the older collections. Merry Xmas all. Yee Haa

Mate, there is no easy way to see/check the total amount of XP that a crew member takes after a battle.

The only method is to keep track the amount of XP he needs to increase the lvl of a skill before and after the battle.

You can see/check it at the personal file of the crew members:

 

 

As for the missions of this weekend, every time that you get the x3 you have a note at Battle Results (at the completed missions sector) that have the name 'Crew Is Crucial'.

 

 

Merry Xmas to you too mate.
