I mean, that all sounds good, so I don't know what to tell you lol. Looking at the rest of your gear, I wouldn't hold the i500 weapon against you after questioning. So, I doubt that was it. If it was, then the people trialing you failed at communication, as far as I'm concerned.

It could be that your situational awareness or on-the-fly decision making were truly lacking. But it sounds like other members were messing up too, so I'm not sure how high their standards should realistically be.

Were they trialing other tanks? It could just be that there was a better candidate, although I always inform trials when that's the case.
