This request does not mean that you have to do what he says, just that if you're in a position to help him without risking yourself too much, you might consider it. 2) Tier and alphabetical order, in that order. 3) Tier 1 tanks see +1 tier. Tier 2 tanks see +1 tier. Tier 3 tanks and above see +2 tiers, with scout tanks seeing +3 tiers. That's the same for everybody. If you can't handle that, WoT isn't the game for you.
