in most cases where you WILL be rewaded in current system it will also be for being shot at by a tomato not for protecting teammates.

Personally I think less ten 10% of your influence to the game by any kind of tanking is blocking shots that were aimed by your teammates, most influence goes from making opponents busy with ineffective attempts to deal damage to you.

So dodging, scraping with tracks or with turret – all that is usefull AND common while protecting allies with your hull – useful but extremely rarely done on purpose

It would be good news for my T95 if not for the fact that everyone with at least 2 brain cells is shooting at gigantic cupolas weak spots and everyone else is just spamming gold shells the moment they see me.
I predict with this xp bonus, KV-1S “rebalance”, T-18 and Hellcat nerfs, the KV-1 will be again 1st choice for stat padders.

i know that logically its not the tank itself, but you took a hit that would otherwise reduce your HP and makes the enemy defenseless for his reload time
and for good players its intentional to do that thing, yet you wont get rewarded

Does spaced armor also count?
If it doesn’t then it’s kinda useless for tanks that relly on spaced armor (SuperPershing).

Or in other words, if you are fighting against a potato that is trying to beat your hulldown T32 over and over instead of changing spots/flanking should be rewarded so there is no real reason why turret doesn’t count.
