WN8
Wargaming Numerical 8 (Performance Rating)
Community-built performance metric scoring damage, spotting, kills, and base capture against tank-specific expected values.
What it means
WN8 is the dominant community-built skill rating in WoT — a formula that scores eight stats against expected values for each specific tank, normalizing across vehicles and tiers. A 'good' KV-1 player and a 'good' Bat.-Châtillon 25 t player score similar WN8 even though their raw damage/kill numbers are radically different. WN8 is calculated externally (not by WG) and visible on third-party sites like wotinspector, blitz-clan-stats, and many in-game mods.
How it's calculated
Typical values
Color brackets (community standard): <450 Very Bad (red), 450–650 Bad (orange), 650–900 Below Average (yellow), 900–1,200 Average (light green), 1,200–1,600 Good (green), 1,600–1,900 Very Good (cyan), 1,900–2,350 Great (blue), 2,350–2,900 Unicum (purple), 2,900+ Super Unicum (super purple).
Example
Why it matters
WN8 is the de facto skill measurement that clans, platoons, and community discussions use. 'Sub-1000' is a competence floor for clans, 'over 2,000' qualifies for top-tier competitive teams. It's not perfect — it can be farmed via certain tanks/playstyles — but it correlates strongly with team contribution.
