First, let's tell you when - World of Tanks update 9.18 will feature a new “Ranked Battles” mode. The point of this mode is that all players will be divided into groups according to their personal rating in their profile. Tankers with the same personal rating will fight each other in “ranked battles.” The ranking system for tankers for WOT was borrowed from Blizzard and its Starcraft 2 project, where MMR has recently been introduced to all players. Depending on the MMR level, gamers are divided into leagues - Grandmaster, Master, Platinum, Gold, etc. Each league is divided into 3 groups - Tear 1, Tear 2 and Tear 3. Thus, by playing “ranked battles” you can move up the steps of glory. The same system will be introduced into World of Tanks gradually.
"Ranked Battles" - a new mode for World of Tanks
As soon as the “ranked battles” mode gains popularity, all players will be assigned its indicator and level, so that they can immediately assess how successfully a particular tanker fights. Every 3 months, statistics on “ranked battles” will be reset, giving everyone the opportunity to try their hand again in the new season. The result of each season will be recorded in the player's statistics.
For the successful implementation of the “ranked battles” mode in World of Tanks, a limitation on the level of equipment will be introduced. At the time the mode launches, these will only be level 10 tanks. Teams of 15 vs 15 tanks will fight for individual rank.
After the “ranked battle” takes place, your contribution to the team’s victory will be reflected in a special table. As Olga Sergeevna (pictured on the right) reported, the outcome of the battle in any ranked battle will not affect the result in the table. The higher you go in the “ranked battles” table, the more difficult your opponents become. Top players in the Ranked Battles mode will receive rewards at the end of each season.
As for the idea of creating a ranked mode for World of Tanks, it is focused on the e-sports component and the competitive effect that fuels interest in WOT as a whole.
Ranked battles started on February 19 at 5:00 (Moscow time) and will continue until March 12, 5:00 (Moscow time). Detailed regulations can be found at the link:
One goal, one stage
Starting next year, the season of ranked battles will become continuous. The new season will consist of just one stage, so you will no longer need to sit in front of the computer all day long to reach the maximum rank in a week. Now you will have 21 days and a whopping 15 consecutive ranks.
Rank protection
As you already know, there will be 15 ranks in the new season (the higher the rank achieved, the better). Rank 1 and 15 do not expire. However, the season will be long and intense, so we are introducing a Rank Protection system that will guarantee the safety of certain ranks and give you room for error.
How it will work: Rank 5, 10 and 13 will have protection (literally) that will allow you to not lose rank even if according to the rules this should have happened. This system will allow us to forgive you some mistakes, and you will be able to gather yourself before the next breakthrough. The protection is destructible. Before the defense is destroyed and you lose rank, you will be forgiven a certain number of defeats.
- Rank 5 allows 3 losses.
- Rank 10 allows 2 defeats.
- Rank 13 allows 1 defeat.
Remember that each defeat will reduce your rank defense by one point. However, even receiving one chevron will be enough to completely restore the strength of the defense.
The winner takes it all
Chevrons still determine your rank progression, and we've changed their distribution to help motivate you.
At the end of the battle, the 10 best players of the winning team and only 1 best player of the losing team will receive chevrons. However, if you are among the top three players on the winning team, you will receive an additional chevron. If you are among the bottom 10 players on the losing team, you will lose one chevron. For all other positions occupied, the number of your chevrons is maintained. This system will allow good players to earn ranks faster, providing additional motivation for effective play.
This is what it will look like:
Rating
To guarantee your place in the ranking, you will need to earn at least 6 rank points, which means reaching rank 6. Further progress will be more difficult than it seems. As before, you will receive one point for each new rank you achieve. After reaching rank 15, every 5 chevrons earned on a specific vehicle will give an additional rank point and 25 . And starting from this season, you will be able to monitor your position in the ranking both in the game and on our portal.
Participants in ranked battles will receive special rewards: they will depend on your success in the season. Therefore, it is important to demonstrate good performance both individually and as a team!
About the awards
Since next season will be a single competition, there will be no stage awards. However, the rewards for achieving ranks will remain and will be revised to justify your efforts and motivate you to move forward. For example, by reaching rank 9 you will earn up to 1,500, and the higher the rank, the larger the reward will become. For reaching rank 15 you will receive a total of 4,500 and more than 3,500,000.

We'll also be reviewing end-of-season rewards to ensure you get the rewards you deserve in gold, bonds, and premium account days. And for getting into each of the leagues you are guaranteed to receive unique styles and stripes

Short list of cards
The previous season showed that some maps are poorly suited to the requirements of ranked battles. For this reason, we have updated the list of available maps, removing Erlenberg and Marsh from the rotation.
Available maps: “Karelia”, “Robin”, “Himmelsdorf”, “Prokhorovka”, “Ensk”, “Lasville”, “Mines”, “Murovanka”, “Siegfried Line”, “Monastery”, “Westfield”, “Sandy” river", "El Halluf", "Airfield", "Fjords", "Fisherman's Bay", "Polar Region", "Highway", "Quiet Coast", "Tundra", "Windstorm", "Paris", "Industrial Zone" .
We've made all of these changes to make winning more rewarding, reward top-performing players, and rank based on your skill level. Now it's your turn: take part in ranked battles and tell us how it worked out with the help of reviews on the forum!
Hello friends! Let's discuss today ranked battles in world of tanks added to our favorite game with patch 9.19.
I think that it’s no secret to anyone - ordinary battles in a random environment one way or another bore the player. There is no competitive part to them for the most part, except for the numbers in the post-battle statistics. Therefore, to maintain interest, various formulas for calculating a player’s efficiency worked well in their time.
From the oldest portal wot-news.com, for example, there was an “Efficiency Rating” or efficiency, which everyone, so to speak, looked up to and tried to score as many points as possible. Since they could show their coolness on the World of Tanks forum, or in their videos, streams, and so on. Of course, players were also assessed for admission to top clans based on their efficiency rating, in the years 2012-2014. Then the WN8 rating appears in WoT, which evaluates the player’s effectiveness in battle. To receive the coveted purple nickname in the Olenometer or admission to the clan.
Ranked battles in tanks are designed, in my opinion, to bring just the same entertaining and competitive aspect to the game. Plus, of course, to separate players into different leagues: Gold, Silver, Bronze - as is implemented in other popular games. After all, you will agree that it is much more interesting to play ranked battles in World of Tanks, when players of a fairly high skill are against you, than to watch battles in a random room where, from battle to battle, some fool, to put it mildly, drains his tank in 30-40 seconds . And there are no fines or restrictions for him, he rode, let’s say, on a batch, merged and ran straight into the next fight, and you continue to drag the skating rink and sweat to get the coveted victory and result.
The essence of ranked battles in World of Tanks, in my opinion, is to encourage players to try to play as best as possible. After all, with positive results, your ranks increase, you rise in the rankings, and finally move up the leagues. Plus, depending on the results in World of Tanks ranked battles, we will earn Bonuses. This is a new currency that is used to purchase an improved version of equipment for tanks. As well as various instructions that further enhance our modules in tanks or crew perks of choice. Bonuses, in turn, will be awarded by the developers for the so-called stages and seasons. Each stage is divided into 7 days, while the season will last a month. The entire rating of ranked battles in WOT based on the results of stages and seasons will be summarized in the player’s statistics. Determining the best of the best based on the results, and giving the opportunity to get into the prize league.
All this is a great move from the Wargaming campaign, which will ultimately reduce the toxicity of randomness and the stress after playing ranked battles in World of Tanks. In the strongest leagues there should be no more idiots draining their tanks in 30-40 seconds of battle. And leaving your team in an awkward position during the battle. I hope that fights with a score of 15:0 or 15:3 will also disappear as a species, because they do not bring any joy or pleasure. All this can only be verified after time and experience in playing ranked battles in World of Tank.

Therefore, only you can answer which technique is better for ranked battles yourself. In my opinion, the IS-7, T110E5, T62A, E 100, Maus, batchat, TVP T 50/51, and other convenient equipment for inflicting as much damage as possible will be popular.
The feature of ranked battles in World of Tanks is, among other things, the rating. It is built not only on the damage dealt, as was the case in random battles.
Basically, people with a higher skill, so to speak, often stood behind their backs and dealt damage. To raise your rating WN8 or capture the base.

See you on the battlefields, gentlemen!
A new mode and a new season of ranked battles only for the tenth levels, after many experiments, create something new but in the old way (perhaps this is ranking players by skill?).
Battles, as usual, will be carried out 15 tanks against 15 tanks, without platoons, pure skill. In ranked battles, the balancer will distribute players by Rank, equal rank versus equal rank, for the same conditions, but there will also be plus/minus one rank and this is normal.
Ranked battles 2019 – New season
Ranks in WoT
Such battles will take place in a standard format: 2 teams of 15 players. The peculiarity is that only level 10 tanks will participate in the battles.
The battle conditions correspond to the random battle mode: the team that completely destroys the opponents' tanks or captures the base wins.
However, this is where the analogy ends. The key feature of a ranked battle is personal results. The essence of the idea is as follows: by showing high performance in the game, tankers will move up the rankings, increasing their rank, receiving interesting awards and prizes.
If a tanker gets into the top 12 of the winners or the top 3 of the losing squad, he receives a chevron. Chevrons are the key to obtaining the next rank. To rise to the first step in the ranking and become the owner of the first rank, one chevron is enough, but then the conditions will gradually become more complicated.
It should be clarified that ranks 1 and 5 are kind of checkpoints that save game progress. Essentially, these are starting points from which players can move further in the ranking system.
Curiously, rank 5 is the maximum possible for an account. Having reached the top, the rank of the vehicle begins to increase. The same principle applies here: personal contribution to the outcome of the battle increases the rank of the tank. 
You win in ranked battles, you progress and receive new ranks. Number of ranks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - rank.
You're losing
— the first top 3 players of the losing team not only do not lose rank, but also continue to move up upon reaching the highest rank. The first and fifth ranks are non-combustible. 
What to do if you reach rank 5 in World of Tanks? New opportunities open up for players, and vehicle ranks appear. The more ranks of cars you farm, the higher place you will take in the final table.
Season of Ranked Battles
Ranked battles are divided into seasons. Seasons of ranked battles were deliberately not very long - only a MONTH. Within the season, ranked battles are divided into stages. Where after each stage the results will be reset. At the end of each season, a table of the best players is formed - these are LEAGUES, there will be three leagues in total. The best players will enter the first league, those in the middle will enter the second league, and the rest will enter the third. All rewards in ranked battles will be awarded based on the results of the seasons. 
The main reward for ranked battles will be special boxes containing boosters, credits, free experience, even in-game gold. A new reward in the form of BONKS has been added especially for ranked battles, which will give additional motivation to players. We worked to the smallest detail and took into account the experience of previous regimes. 
For bonds you can buy two types of rewards:
— improves the characteristics of the crew, but only lasts for one battle.
— increased performance of conventional equipment installed on the tank. They will be very expensive and in BONKS.
Pre-battle instructions and advanced equipment can be used together to maximize the strength of the tank. In the future, the possibility of adding BONKS to other World of Tanks modes is being considered - it’s just a matter of time.
Changes in the economy. Ranked battles provide an additional funding system. Players are awarded a standard number of credits based on the results of the battle, plus financial bonuses are added for obtaining the next rank and completing special missions. Prize equipment and personal reserves are added to this. When the season of ranked battles comes to an end, participants are awarded bonds - a new monetary unit that cannot be purchased in the game store. Bonds are spent on the purchase of modernized equipment and “Pre-combat briefing”, which significantly improve the performance of the crew and the vehicle as a whole. The number of bonds awarded depends on the player’s performance. 
In the future, there will most likely be new ways to earn BONKS, but for now, in update 9.19 it is planned that ranked battles will be the only way. 
Bonds- new WoT currency, earned exclusively in the Republic of Belarus. Bonuses cannot be purchased, but can only be earned in the game, which are credited after the end of the season/stage. You can spend Bonuses on new equipment added in patch 9.19.
Improved equipment - increased performance of conventional equipment installed on the tank. They will be very expensive and in BONKS. 
Improved equipment purchased with bonds, where you cannot use two identical equipment on one tank. Installed in slots with conventional equipment. The cost in bonds is high, and can also be removed for 10 gold units. 
Pre-battle instructions - improve the characteristics of the crew, but only last one battle. Also, a new slot is added for additional BUFFS (pre-battle instructions), something similar to additional gold equipment that adds bonuses to equipment or crew, but only for one battle.
Pre-combat instructions - for equipment.
Increases the effect of installed equipment.
Pre-combat instructions - for crew.
It helps to upgrade a perk for one battle or improve an existing one, but you cannot get two effects at the same time. 
Use all the introduced innovations for bonds for absolutely any class of equipment and level, for all types of battles.
Tankers!
Climb the leagues and earn prizes! Go into battle on your favorite “top ten”, get to the very top and receive worthy rewards.
Still not very good at handling the “tens”? Take advantage of discounts and bonuses that are valid in the game event “Target Captured: China”, and test Chinese vehicles in battles like the new X WZ-113G FT tank destroyer or the X 113 heavy tank.
