To the first Ranked Battles beta season in World of Tanks This was followed by a break in which the developers converted the experience gained into improvements. The second beta season will follow on September 18th, giving players the opportunity to test, make a name for themselves and earn rewards.

World of Tanks - Ranked Battles Season 2

As the developers write on their blog, the Ranked Battles have been significantly revised based on the experience and evaluation of the first season. The large amount of feedback and suggestions from the community were taken into account. Of course, the system won't be perfect even now, so all players are called upon to give as much feedback and ideas as they can this time

Season 2 of Ranked Battles starts on September 18 at 6 p.m. CEST. The battles are then always active during prime time Monday-Friday from 6:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. and Saturday / Sunday 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. (all CEST).

The most important changes compared to the 1st season:

Season length:  According to the developers, a season should be more of a sprint than a marathon and thus the season is shortened to 3 seven-day segments. Before it was 4 weeks in a row.

Stripes: The method of earning the strips was not ideal and is changing.

• If your own team wins and you make it into the top ten players according to earned EP, you get a stripe.
• The last five players on the winning team and the top five players on the losing team do not receive streaks, but neither do they lose any.
• Anyone who is not among the top five on the losing team loses a streak.

This promotes team play in your own team, because a good individual performance while ignoring your team does not earn you a streak.

Ranks: Rank V was not a real challenge for experienced players. From season 2 you need 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 9 stripes for ranks I to V.

At the Vehicle rank you need 5 stripes each, regardless of the current rank.

Matchmaking: The composition of the teams will now be significantly better and also take into account the number of medium and heavy tanks. Thus, the outcome of the fight should depend more on the skills of the teams than on the uneven distribution of vehicles.

Self-propelled guns are limited from 3 to 2 per team and map rotation is improved to avoid repetitions. Some mismatched maps have been removed from the Ranked Battles rotation.

Rewards and merit the developers have also adjusted, e.g. E.g. special orders can now be completed 3 times per day.
