Notice how the image on the mainpage doesn't even have the reticle on the tank XD

Talk about misleading images.

But anyways, time to bust out the sniping skills.

Shame this Medal is so broken that its not being awarded correctly. Shame that if some idiot driver on your team rams YOU and takes damage your no longer eligable for sniper. Yeah, because your accuracy has a lot to do with othe people who can't fucking drive.

I agree if it were free xp that would be decent enough to try for but if it's only going to my churchill(my sniper) then no way, not worth my time

I know right. As far as I'm aware these medal events are rather new and we haven't had them at all just months ago. Now we are given an opportunity to earn an extra amount of free exp for each match we play.. an opportunity which wasn't available previously.

Now that it's added people complain about it. They should disable the events for people whining about all of them for two months and see if they come back to complain some more after experiencing no bonuses.  :Smile_popcorn1:

Seriously, I had no idea being rammed by a teammate has anything at all to do with Sniper.  Got a link to something that says that's the case?

This should just about cover that for you. Good luck finding someone official to confirm it though.

I just had an odd result, and wonder if Sniper is being awarded as intended.

I was on the losing team and died.  I shot 14 out of 14, with 12 penetrations, 1436 hp done.

A VK-3601H on the winning team, who survived, shot 18 out of 20, 11 pens, 1062 hp done.  He got Sniper.

I caused no damage to allies.  I don't know what gun he carried, so don't know whether he had more "potential damage", but that should be a tie breaker.  By the way the award is described, I don't understand why I did not receive it.

A clan mate is telling me that most consecutive hits determines who gets it, but I suspect he's wrong.  Can someone explain what I am not understanding here?

Effo, Watch your Replay. I'm pretty sure you will see that someone on your own team most likely bumped into you at some point. This disqualified you from being awarded sniper.
