I tried a Ranked Battle this morning and half of my team
(including 3 heavies) camped right on the South spawn, while a
camping Churchill 3 kept pinging "attack!" on the message wheel.
One of those was all I could take... :snarl:

Ranked battles? More like ranking how lucky you are at getting
a decent green team. No platoons, so instead of having a
dependable 1/3 of the team, now just 1/15. Had a KV-220-2 game,
1650dam/5kills/850assist/3680blocked...loss -23 points. M4-A2E4
had 1200 dam/3kills/620assist and a solo cap as I was last
standing...+9. Really? Both of those games were top performers
on either team.

Tried it today and noticed lots of Tier V heavies. Played 10
games just to try it and figure out what the purposes was. Last
game a Leopard a Grille Artillery and I in a Chinese Type T-34
with 30 HP left managed to destroy the last five offers (two
TD's and 5 Heavies). The Leopard destroyed 5 tanks. Lost more
silver than I made. I do not not what the purpose might be so I
am going to move to the bleachers and let the big boys figure it
out.

I like it. Its all about winning. Stats, medals, WN8, MoE...
none of it means anything. Go out there and win. You got 10
kills but lost, nobody cares.
I believe the points system works like this:
it takes some sort of team ranking and compares the 2 teams.
If you were on the winning team, but that team was higher ranked
- small point gain
If you were on the winning team, but that team was lower ranked
- big point gain
If you were on the losing team, but that team was higher ranked
- big point loss
If you were on the losing team, but that team was lower ranked
- small point loss
I think this is a superior game mode over random battles.

Agreed except I wish the ops worked, but is not factored into
the ranking.

The problem is that "winning" without platoons is an entirely
random event because you have 14 teammates who are not actually
working together for the most part. You may randomly get a win
if things gel, but not likely. You could call it "carrying".
then those who carry the game would rise up. So it is not a
problem with the mode, but what it is named. It should be "solo
carry ranked battles", or better yet, maybe it should be 1 vs 1
battles same vehicle matchmaking, then you could fairly rank
players. The idea that this mode provides a meaningful rank is a
bit of a stretch.

Seems interest has dropped in playing ranked games, waiting in
match making for more then 3 mins each time now

I'm still on the fence about this mode. After 85 battles I can
see it has a lot to do with your team's performance and
completing the objectives too. It seems matches where your arty
survives add points as well as capping. I've got loads of kills
and carried my teams on lots of matches just to lose points or
gain a +1 at the end. More clarity would have been nice WG as
to how to earn the most points. What Fif was saying makes sense
too.
I'm not really a platoon type of guy anyways and random matches
aren't any better. Something good is people talk and try to win
in the rank mode. I have also earned new crew skills and tank
XP while playing and all the while not effecting my stats.
