We're ecstatic for this round of Ranked Battles, which is fought using tier VIII vehicles in small but fierce 7vs7 matches! Tier VIII battles mean you can bring out behemoths like the
VIII flag Tiger II or flankers like the
VIII flag Motherland . Maybe you prefer to command sharpshooters like the
VIII flag Rhm.-Borsig Waffenträger , or to strike from afar with the
VIII flag M40/M43 . Perhaps you're one of the few who realize just how deadly scouts like the
VIII flag T49 can be in same-tier battles!
Regardless of your weapon of choice, showcase your ability during the weekend of April 28 to ascend to the highest League and reap the improved rewards!
From 28 Apr 19 : 00 (MESZ)

Ranked Battles: Tier VIII What Are Ranked Battles?
Ranked Battles are an opportunity to demonstrate your tactics against similar-skilled opponents. During a Season, tankers hone their skills by trying to place in the highest League before the Season ends for bragging rights and rewards!
One's performance in Ranked Battles earns points towards their ranking, and moving up Leagues is dependent on the amount of points earned.
How to Participate
To participate and unlock the mode, you must own a tier III vehicle or higher.
Once unlocked, you'll need to complete five preliminary battles to be placed into a League. Once placed, you'll gain access to the "Ladder" tab in the Garage which displays useful information about the current Season, your rankings and more.
You'll also gain access to three Leaderboards:
My Division: Displays all players that are in the same League as you.
Friends: Displays your friends' rankings; every friend who's participating in active Leagues.
Clans (Not available if you're not in a Clan): Displays your Clanmates who are participating in an active League.
Point System
Once you've placed in a League, you'll begin to see how many points you've earned or lost after each Ranked Battle.
There are two types of points: Team Performance and Personal Performance. To earn Team Performance points, players must win the battle. The player's individual Personal Performance points can then increase for winning the battle or decrease if you lost. Personal Performance points are based on how well you did in battle.
The amount of points earned or lost is displayed in the Post Battle Results screen. First, it will calculate the points received for your individual performance, and then the points from your team's performance. Then it displays your current amount of points and how much more is needed to reach the next League.
