This is a simple idea to implement given that clan badges are now shown . At the moment mastery badges mean nothing what I suggest is that they be made a symbol that shows up on your tank like clan badges , this would create a real incentive to ranking them up . A white skull for 3rd class a red skull for 2nd with silver and gold skulls for 1st and ace tanker and lastly a black placeholder skull for those with no badge . This would also provide a simple way to evaluate the skill of your team mates and who has a stock tank at the start of a battle just look about and see what symbol is on everyone's tank should be very useful combined with that win rate mod .

not bad idea for decoration, but not to use this to rank players

why? someone may do something EPIC if they are lucky enough

some may not want to have a skull on there tank  in WWII they would paint a ring on the barrel and since kills are not going to candy stripe a game tank barrel it could be put there

what if we get one ring on the barrel every 100 kills?

Or just place the mastery badge on the list next to the tank.

If they were to only list one thing,

i would prefer it be something like Total number of games.

maybe give us ranks based on number of games played similar to the forums here.

IMO, the mastery badges are fun but not really a good indicator of overall skill.

Just means you got one lucky round.

Section 12: Tankers are people (in-game); http://forum.worldof...ls-training-ii/

Same general Idea to gauge your teammates in matches though mine may be a little more based on skill rather than the luck of a good game. It colors your name instead of putting symbols on your tank though.

Huge bad idea. More bully and troll food to keep the Unquiet Dead noisy. Don't need it, don't want it. And no, I'm not against it because I have none -- I do; I just think it's more useless clutter. Clutter should be optional. Anyone who wants clutter can install stats-nazi mods.

more or less agree. i prefer less clutter as well. if WG wants to add in more personalization down the road im fine with that, as long as its optional.

I disagree. Knowing who are the elites on the your team and enemy team is a big advantage for everyone. It shows who to follow and who to shoot. Less clutter? A color change on name or a logo on tank is clutter? LoL

Right now, only people with those mods have that distinct advantage.

if thats what you want, use the mod.

the idea is that you shouldn't need a mod to do what the game should already being doing.

Especially hit skin mods and efficiency rating mods.

always vote in favor of something that singles out a tank for the enemy to destroy.

Mastery badges are completely worthless. All that they say is said player had one good game in that tank.
