Announcing WoT Salute: Benefits program for Veterans and Military Personnel

The_Chieftain: Console are not partaking in this. This has been a WoT PC NA push. (It  started as a Chieftain push, but the rest of the NA PC office got aboard and put the whole thing together). We'll see if the other projects follow our lead. Guys,  if you're a vet, there's obviously no obligation for you to sign up.  If you're that paranoid about how your IP address can be linked to once having been in the military, we certainly aren't going to force you. Forced thanks are not particularly polite.As for the rest, there are three major service-verification third parties out there in the US. Used by anyone from Home Depot to United Airlines to Sirius XM Radio. ID.me is one of these three, they're based out of Virginia. I've been using them for years, and no OPSEC briefing has said that they are a risk. Personal choice, but me, I'm happy enough giving my last four in order to get USAA insurance rates, 50% off rifle optics, 10% off airplane tickets and all the rest.... and now we get  to add bennies from Wargaming. Non-USians. We obviously are going to have enough kinks in this to work out over the next while with just the US servicemen. We started there as the largest block, and because there is already an extremely well-established system for service verification online. We know the Canadians have the CF-One system, which seems to provide a reasonably simple verification possibility, but investigations with other countries South of the US border seem not to have an easy equivalent. We do hope to expand, but let's sort out the immediate problems first (Such as the veterans' forum access, which probably will be a week before people actually start seeing it), and we can worry about expansion later.
