Firstly, thank you very much for your response. I apologize in that I missed some underscores on my name. Here is the link to wotlabs: http://wotlabs.net/na/player/__orangesquirrel__
Regarding your second question: the in-game xvm wn8 rating I was referring to is on the battleloading screen, players panel, and service records-vehicle info screens. There is no inconsistency in the rating between these locations. Its that noobmeter, wotlabs, wot-news, vbaddict, etc. all show a wn8 that is over 100 points less.
At this moment the game xvm is showing me as 1662; while wotlabs-1510; wot-news-1503; noobmeter.com-1510 and so on.
Not a really big deal, but I'd rather not be a blue target when it isnt earned.
Thanks again for responding!
