Fresh out of vanilla?

ABR is crappy, doesn't work 99.9% of the time but I think a soloution is being worked on, i'm sure someone will correct me...

Welcome to the mod :)

Although rank/stat tracking is nice, it's basically not at all vital to the way the mod plays - you can currently play any kit or use any vehicle regardless of rank etc. More important that scoring points is being of use to the team- so if you plan on jumping into vehicles etc, get some practice on an offline/locally hosted server first :)

Current situation with ABR is ridiculous. ABR server is often unaccessible (probably just due to congestion), and most of the time it takes ages to respond. Because of this there are only a handful of servers sending their logs to ABR at all. Not surprising... ABR may even cease to exist at some point. Iirc, ABR team has only 1 member atm, and he's struggling to keep the servers alive*.

I hope that we will have a clear situation in the next PR release: either a working global ranking system (ABR or other) which would be very nice albeit not required, OR no ranking at all.

If the page seems unresponsive, try again later (that would also be a demonstration of the current state ABR is in).
