So I played WoT WAAAAAAY back in the day with my old man. The last time i remember playing was probably a good 6 years ago. I quit the game and went to War Thunder, and after hearing so much about WoT coming back i decided to give it another go. However, after recovering this old account, i log in to find that i have almost no progress from my old days. I'd reached tier vii in USA with the T25/2, i had Tier VI in both USSR and USA on at least 2 branches each and my German tree was at Tier V in 3 seperate branches (I think but its pretty close to this). When I logged in, I found that the most i had was the Tier III USA TD, the T-57. which used to be an arty for tier ii. I no longer have anything apart from a few Tier II tanks in all my former countries, and a random tier ii premium vehicle i got as a reward for something 6-7 years ago and never even slotted a crew in.
However, i still have my former Gold and silver balances, as well as my account history on the site.
So. Question One:
What the hell is going on?
and Two:
How do i fix it and get my beloved 90mm M18 and KV-1s back?
And Three:
Is this a common issue thats experienced when players go on a hiatus or etc? If this is going to happen again then i may as well just not bother recovering my progress.
