Thanks, the latest update [v4.1.36] has, indeed, stopped the red tsunami. Now, I have one lonely tank out of 32 in my garage displaying a Mark of Excellence ribbon. Actually, I'm proud and surprised to have even that one ribbon, considering I'm in my 60's.
However, I would still prefer to have the choice of viewing the extra stat information and the Marks of Excellence on the tank carousel separately ... if possible.
