I bought SU-122-44! Can I play the rating battles?

Yes but you must play 20 battles first to calibrate how good you are. With 70 battles it’s going to be hard though.

What he said. Not to put too fine a point on it, you'll suck.

I will likely, but eventually I should end up playing my level, right?

is this a re-roll?  If not then it’s gonna be a disaster if your level is tier iv or v,  you should try and play a 100 games each in all the tanks you’ve got and then see what your stats look like before deciding on trying ratings battles.  

 

Of course if you’re a re-roll, knock yourself out!

I played less than 1000 battles (tier I-IV) over 2 years on my previous account, but that was back in 2016

Indeed, but why don't you want to win? Without learning the basics, it's tricky.

Yup, at tier VII you'll be playing against people that have lots of practice at the various techniques such as hull down, will be comfortable with their tank type, will know the maps, sniping positions, flank routes, strengths and weaknesses of tanks on reds and greens, etc. And that is true even for the useless ones.

I'd get more practice first, but by all means try, but I doubt it will be a pleasant experience.

Yes it is and it’s got fangs and a black cape with blood red lining.

Where can I buy it?

 

I’m interested in how stats is counted in the rating battles.

Sorry buddy it’s not on sale and it’s very unlikely to go on sale cheap either. Stats are more point based, the more you win the more points you get, it’s about as simple as that.

Why count wr and some points at the same time? Can’t it be just wr based?

[VonPottypoop]

No, if you want that play standard battles.

[Stangvalle]

I’ve tried the rating battles inspired by your thread. It’s a lot more fun than random even though I don’t understand how this system works. Why did someone get -21 points instead of -20? Why +27 points in one battle but only +20 in other? 

 

[killerkiller777]

Guys, just start the game from be beginning (tier 1) and once you will be ready for tier 7 / 8 only then join there. Otherwise, soon or later, all you will get will be abuse and insults for not being able to carry your own weight in that tier. This forum is full of threads about rushing tiers / players with no experience in top tiers and so on.

[Stangvalle]

It seems that during Calibration the rating system puts you progressively against better players when you win in a row. ~3370 average rating teams after 4 wins in a row.

To me it’s not rating battles at all, it’s just a win or lose scenario. If it is to be called a truly rated battle then this should be on your own personal merit and nothing to do with the team,take the image a couple up, one guy gets just short of 3000 damage up 20 points then the guy at the bottom of the same team 800 damage up 20 points. It’s no different to encounter battle and Wr is it. 

Now the guy with 3k damage should get 30 points and the 148 damage just 2 points and this should apply to greens and red regardless of the result. Shurely this would be true rating that would find the real winners and losers. Obviously spotting and other factors need to be taken into consideration but you get the jist.

But eventually you should end up playing against your level players, regardless of your damage and spotting.
