Sorry, it might have been misleading but this discussion was about “first 10 battles in new tank get easier MM (not)”.

They actually had that a while ago. Needless to say it was an awesome time. This whole 2x xp for winning thing is a bit disappointing,

Preferential MM generally means a +1 tier ceiling limit as opposed to the regular +2. Some Prem tanks have it (eg FCM 50t) and some don’t (eg Lowe). You must have bought a prem tank that doesn’t come with preferential MM. There is a list somewhere of the pref MM tanks.

Complaining about getting something for free? Move to Australia, you’d fit in well there.

This was a great event–with prem, I now have a fully upgraded T49 and Hellcat and finished my grinds on the Panther and the Tiger.

the “be in the top 10″ stuff is very annoyng indeed, and is a proof that wg can’t develop a real anti-bot sistem;
best focus on HD tanks, ruimberg on fire, on cold, with butterflyes, mess up with half community FPS..
yes, this is what we need.

the prefferential MM is a lie, when I was paying attention atleast 5 of the first 10 games were against +2 tier in the last 3 cases
now I am not calling “liars”, just pointing that “prefferential” gets explained differently, might mean “slightly better chance to be top tier” and the RNG is to blame (dunno really)

if I had to guess, I would say that it is the “slightly” version which was placed as placebo argument to calm the masses

P.S. it was pleasant event to grind top turret in newly bought Lorr-arty when roughly every 3rd game amounted to 2500xp and 30-50k income
not so much in the T28 though

managed to grind 25k in Lorraine, 10k in Bishop and only 1-2k in T28 and ST-1 (also stock, thought I could grind the invincible turret atleast, gave up very fast)

Some tanks, however, are unfortunate when “roflstomp” win occurs.

Yes I am talking about Bishop, T28 (stock for some added insult to injury).
What about +2 tier games? (T-28 against KV-1S, being the only tier 4 in game, apart from arty)
Might take arties in city maps into account aswell.

So some arguments are rather tank dependent than anything else…
(mind you I had games in T-28 where enemy KV-1, KV-1S, T-150 and 3 other tanks did 0 dmg and I racked over 1500 dmg killing 2 tiers 6 almost singlehandedly with its almighty ZiS 85 dmg OP sweetness)

Just saying skill is not everything when win occurs.
