Heyoooo, it's time for a new Operation.  Next up is the Confederate medal.  Everytime you earn this medal, you'll score an extra bit of XP, best of luck!

You can check the details for the Operation here.

is the 750 XP as compared to the 1250 before based on how often these medals are won?

Actually the only ones that I seen that seemed to effect how people played so far has been.

Top Gun - I seen a few people would hold their fire and not shoot till a enemy was almost dead and a couple of times of blocking their teammates shots so they could get the kill.
Invader - I seen people rush to cap a bit more and even once trying to push each other out of cap.

But for the most part these events have been a lot less of a issue than I first feared they might be. So far it looks like they are mostly not being a factor and are just a nice bonus when you get one.

I could have been a contender. Dang! Either I am early or late. I wish I had this one during the event.

Also, for the defender contest, you'd see players waiting in the bushes for the cap count to get high before taking any action to reset the cap.

Time to load HE, hit as different enemy as possible, then retreat and let's allies kill them.....

Holy_Metal's Photo Holy_Metal Dec 17 2012

Really don't agree with the tie breaker including premium xp over standard, just because they earned more xp doesn't mean that they contributed more......

Player A - 6 hit tanks, 1500 dmg, 458 xp earned

Player B - 6 hit tanks, 850 dmg, 555 xp earned b/c premium

Just an example but something along those lines the premium account wins the tie breaker even though they did less for the team....

Never realized Confederate metal did this, makes little sense though for the reason stated above.

The player doing the most should be counted, not the player with the most xp INCLUDING premium boosted xp rates.

"Confederate

Hit more enemy vehicles (at least six) than any other player on your team. These enemy vehicles must subsequently be destroyed by another player. ***If two or more players score an equal amount of hits****,

the achievement is granted to the player who earned more XP in the battle, ***including*** additional XP provided to Premium Account users."

Same here, but I am always happy getting Confederate.

Remember, you only get it if your team actually kills the six you damage.  This is a great award.  I'll take the enemy down to near dead, then let all those "Kill Stealers" out there take the rest.

Everyone brace for people shooting enemies just enough so they don't kill them.

Sure sounds like a contest award for tier's one tankers using binoculars and or optics.

Will future 'Operation' contests include higher rewards for tankers earning an Epic Achievement?

lol....could have used this yesterday. I got a Confederate in my Chaffee yesterday. Almost 3k XP for first win of the day.

Question though: if you earn an operation reward for the First Battle of the day, does it also get that XP multiplier? AND, let's say with this extra XP I set a record for most XP in a battle for myself, does it count in the statistics?

For example, my best battle in the Chaffee earned my 2092 XP (If I recall). Let's say I earned this medal and with that extra XP it gave me 2300 XP (1550 without the bonus). Would that 2300 replace the 2092 as my highest XP battle?

That's what I do normally without the contest. I'm probably only going to get one or two shots before I die anyway. So I wait until it gets 50%+ to let my allies get closer to cap.If I last longer, then the points will add up to the needed number.

No modifiers. Not even for premium is what I have seen.
