I have had a mission for tier 9 which requires me to accumulate 100 base capture points over any number of battles, the only requirement that My team wins the battle. I have been at 90/100 for a week. I just played a game in the t-54, sat in cap for 14 seconds, then proceeded to rek their entire team and win the battle. Afterwards, I checked my mission status, and it still says I am at only 90/100. For whatever reason, the base capture points are NOT accumulating. I wouldn't even bother with this mission at all, except that I have accumulated the 90 points just through normal play, and I might as well complete it....if the game would let me.

You have to be in the base until the battle ends and you win.  If you leave the base after a while, the points won't count.

that's dumb. Who the hell wants to actually encourage capping at tier 9? Ok, I'll go park in cap when all but one red is dead and see if that works.

Just rekt the team then hop on cap. 5-6 points at a time.

That's how capture points have always worked.  If you look at your Battle Results Details screen after any battle, look for the Base Capture points.  If you sit in cap for a while and then leave, they don't count.

 

I currently have that same Base Capture Series mission in Tier X, and it's going to be a while before it's completed.  If I'm in a slow tank and there's one red left, I'll go sit in cap for 10-20 ticks just to get some points for that missions while the rest of my team finishes off the last enemy.

Yeah, my cap points have accumulated the same way. I'm all about the safety of a cap at the end while the mediums zoom around the map looking for that red.....or maybe I'm just lazy.

It's a little of both for me.  I'm not going to bother trying to chase down that running T-44 in my E100.  It's an exercise in futility.  Might as well get a few measly cap points while the green meds get him.

I just completed it the other day, holding cap to draw reds in from their spawn, vs green chasing them or getting wrecked by reds shooting from behind cover.

 

That mission was lingering for me at 80+/100 as well, in the background, probably since missions started, LOL, since I ignore them for the  most part.  Anyway.

 

You don't have to win by cap, afaik, but you have be in the cap circle and the team has to win for it to go up.

I also got a faulty mission. Drive 3km with the T95.

Correct, you don't have to win by cap.  Just be in cap when the game ends.

There's nothing wrong with the Mobility IX mission.  You can complete it with any Tier IX tank.  But if a T95 is the only Tier IX you have in your garage, it might present quite the challenge.  Unlock/purchase another IX and you can also complete it with that.

That's one I skipped early on, because in the tier it was in, there was no way to ever get that done ... LOL  

Perhaps in a T2 light or BT, but still pulling that off without getting killed ... would take many a yolo attempt.

Or perhaps driving back & forth along the spawn border? ... Actually not a bad idea. LOL

Now THAT is a mission that isn't completed by normal play.
