I'd love to join, the only thing I'm missing is the average damage (so close, at 841!) All of my current Tier 8's have over 100 battles played (if not on the T-44 then pretty close to it) and 1000 average damage (just barely, but I'm getting better with them as I close in on finishing them off). I'm very close to having the IS-8 unlocked and already have the ST-I unlocked, and the Tiger II has 50k xp to go, so I hope to be picking up my first Tier 9 very soon.
