PLEASE NOTE:

You don’t need to submit any screenshots or replays! Wargaming will be pulling the statistics directly from our European database to form the top 100 list based on highest experienced earned in a single battle.
The battle results counted will not include bonuses (Premium Account, Double XP for the first victory of the day, experience multiplier bonuses, etc.)
Only the battles from random battles will count. Clan Wars and Tank Companies will not be included.
If you already have one of the tanks offered in the garage (Type 59 or Type 62) you will be compensated with its purchase price: 7,500 Gold for the Type 59 and 4,800 Gold for the Type 62.

Now go and get off to your strong start, Commanders!
