General Overview and Progression System

Thanks to all the active Commanders who participated in Season X and shared their feedback, we are now ready to move forward with the new 10v10 format in the coming year.

The first Season of Ranked Battles 2021–2022 will run for two weeks: from September 6 through September 20. You can earn Battle Pass Points when fighting in Ranked Battles, and their number will depend on your position in your team’s post-battle ranking by XP earned. Even if your team lost or drew, you will still receive points.

No more than one SPG and two light tanks per team will be allowed in battles.

To move from one rank to another to qualify for Leagues, you need to earn 94 chevrons.

Chevrons will be credited according to the following rules:

Daily Missions for Different Vehicle Roles

As soon as you qualify for a League, you’ll be able to complete special daily missions. There will be three missions in total, and each one can be completed in vehicles of four different roles. This means that missions for 12 different vehicle roles will be available. These missions will reward you with Bonds and Daily Bonus Battles.

Fight to the Last to Earn a Heap of Rewards!

The opening Season of Ranked Battles features tons of valuable rewards for good performance in battle. Meet your worthy Tier X opponents and fight to the last to earn:

• Bonds
• Days of WoT Premium Account
• Gold
• Directives
• Striking 2D custom looks
• Additional rewards!

In the Qualification, you will be rewarded with Directives and Credits. We’ve also redistributed the prizes and increased the number of credits you can earn in the higher Divisions to make the game more enjoyable. The full reward pool can be found in the widget below.

Season rewards also include an updated 2D style for Tier X vehicles, one for each League, which is exclusive to Ranked Battles. To retain this honorable style, you will need to participate in future Seasons. Plus, you will receive an exclusive badge for each League that you can apply as a mark of glory and mastery.

The 114 SP2: Meet the Chinese Predator!

The ultimate reward for all three Seasons is the brand-new Chinese 114 SP2 Tier X tank destroyer. It features a fully rotating turret mounted to the center of the hull, just like classic tanks. Thanks to this hallmark, you can play more actively and react quickly to changes in the combat situation.

The 114 SP2 also boasts excellent dynamics and can easily change flanks or retreat swiftly, if necessary. Its 152 mm gun with good elevation angles (–7° / +20°), high accuracy, and short aiming time allow you to effectively hit opponents from a long distance. The 114 SP2 sacrifices armor for greater mobility, but it can perform brilliantly as a menacing support vehicle or a dangerous long-range sniper.

Display Your Mastery and Get Your Annual Reward!

Your Annual Reward will depend on the number of Rank Tokens you earn over all three Seasons of Ranked Battles 2021–2022. The more Rank Tokens you collect, the better the Annual Reward you receive. This year, among other prizes, you’ll have the opportunity to grab up to three pieces of improved equipment of your choice, from all equipment of this category, depending on your Annual Reward level. Each item can only be picked up once, so you better choose wisely!

Additionally, you can get your hands on:

Any remaining Rank Tokens will be converted into bonds at the end of the third Season.

If you are a fan of heavies and enjoy aggressive gameplay, then the brand-new British Charlemagne, a Tier VIII Premium heavy tank, will become a valuable addition to your collection. This vehicle features solid frontal armor and great dynamics, so it can both support fellow heavies and push the enemy line with allied medium tanks. Its well-stabilized gun with –10 degrees of gun depression and a tough turret allow the Charlemagne to take full advantage of terrain on any map. Powerful and fast, this brawler is perfect for those who prefer to take the initiative on the field.
