Ranked Battles: 2019 Season is Here!

3 min read

Rise to the challenge, put up your guns and start your battle journey through one of the most exciting modes in World of Tanks and you can still earn tons of rewards and additional prizes, including a unique Tier IX vehicle!

Season Dates

20 May 2019, 10:00 CEST (UTC+2) – 10 June 2019, 10:00 CEST (UTC+2)

Revamped Progression System

There will be three Seasons of Ranked Battles in 2019, with heaps of rewards and other bonuses. In order to maximize your battlefield experience, Wargaming revised the entire ranking mechanic and broke it into 4 Divisions.

Each Division consists of 15 ranks. Progression through them is linear from the 4th to the 1st Division, and you cannot be relegated from your Division to a lower one. Once you have completed one Division, you will find yourself in one of three leagues based on your performance.

  • Players in the top 20% will find themselves in the Golden League – the most challenging one!
  • The next 30% will play in the Silver League
  • The remaining 50% of players will end up in the Bronze League

Speed Up Your Progress!

Want to progress through the ranks even faster? No problem! To speed up your progression, Wargaming is introducing a new mechanic – Bonus Battles. This is an equivalent of the First Victory daily multiplier, which automatically doubles chevrons (two instead of one, four instead of two). If you don’t receive a chevron after the battle, then the Bonus Battles mechanic doesn’t apply.

As you move from one Division to another, a certain number of Bonus Battles will be awarded. This number depends on how well you’re performing and on how effective you are in battle.

Role Experience: Capturing the Essence of Ranked Battles

Much of your feedback on Ranked Battles concerned the distribution of experience in battles, and we’ve taken measures to improve it. In the new Season, we’re retiring the mechanic where you earn experience through your battle activities. This mechanic will be replaced by a new system of role experience that rewards players for properly fulfilling the role of their vehicle, depending on its class.

Let’s see how this system will work using heavy and medium tanks as examples.

  • Close-range brawlers (the Maus, the IS-7 or the WZ-111 model 5A) can grab their experience bonus by blocking and dealing damage from less than 300 meters away.
  • Medium tanks (the M48A5 Patton, the E 50 Ausf. M) will earn bonus experience by causing damage to vehicles within your view range, and by blocking damage.

Disabling Friendly Damage

To allow you to better focus on the game, Wargaming is disabling team damage and team kills caused by friendly fire and ramming. However, artillery can still stun allied vehicles, and doing so will incur an experience penalty.

Rewards of the Season

Now to our most tantalizing topic – your rewards for good performance in combat! You have an opportunity to earn:

  • Credits
  • Bonds
  • Gold
  • Unique styles
  • Additional rewards!

Depending on your results through all three seasons, you can earn the ultimate reward: a unique Tier IX vehicle. Its name, nation, class and characteristics are classified for now and will be announced later, so stay tuned!
