I wish I found out the weekend was x2 for every battle sooner than Sunday.
Even so with some 100% personal reserves I made a fair bit of progress towards my Obj. 140, FV215b 183 and FV215b on Sunday. I also unlocked the 155mm on the T30.
I'm also getting much better and making loads of progress. My win rate for the last 30 days (304 battles) is 61%, which kind of makes up the mysterious bad spell where it absolutely tanked for seemingly no reason. I also noticed that my WN8 had jumped from ~1490 to 1529 which is good.
I got my Ace Tanker in the Challenger which is crazy, I still can't wait to sell it for the Charioteer though as I love the L7 on the mediums. I also got my first ever 2nd barrel mark...on my Comet of all things.
My brother who is my recruit is also on 993,000 experience earned for me so only 7,000xp from getting me the T95E2. It turns out that people who had a dormant account when you invited them to get back and play the game don't get you the T92E2 when they get a tier 10 tank, that's only the case for brand new recruits, others need to earn 1,000,000 xp.
All in all I seem to be going through a good spell, which is worth sharing in this game as you go through periods of being so frustrated you wonder why you play it.
